delara, interrupted

So, I'm still processing from Monday morning. Sigh.

In the meantime, I am eating Girl Scouts thin mint cookies like they're going out of style.

And - after weighing myself at the gym today and making all the appropriate measurements - I have "lost" 5-6 pounds and several inches here and there. Yay for me! Hard work pays off. Most notably my waist and hips are each 2 inches smaller. We still have a long way to go, baby.

My bull**it meter was way off the charts today. Several times I spoke with or listened to someone and in my mind was just thinking "bull**it, bull**it" over and over again. Interesting...

Paul and I are redoing the home office and finally painting the second bedroom, aka future baby's room. We are going to try to paint the office carpet like they did on a Trading Spaces episode. I will try to post photos and will definitely recap how that goes!

I have had some realizations about having a baby that have put my mind completely at ease for now. It will happen when it is supposed to happen and it's ok if we are not actively trying. This is not to say I have lost interest. Au contraire! There was a Life cereal commercial today that was just too cute for words and totally tugged at my biological clock. But I just know I as a whole person am not quite ready yet, and so if it takes a few more months, so be it. I have made peace with the process.

And finally, I am looking for suggestions of low-budget, fun, relaxing vacation spots (must be warm) for our fifth anniversary. Sedona and the Grand Canyon come to mind, although not so warm there. Also Cozumel, although not so low-budget. Ideas?
