Meetings and Recreational Party Planning

I was late. Again.

sigh.

Traffic here gets worse every year. But that's not my issue. My issue here is that I am late - again. I was late getting to my lesson. And late leaving.

Making me late to my Kiwanis board meeting.

Again.

Fortunately I wasn't OVERLY late getting there. And I love these meetings this year. We have a great board and lots of good ideas and great people.

So I pull into Commerce Bank, and I am thrilled that it is not the torrential downpour it was last month.

They are kind and waiting for me... I haven't missed much. And then I saw it.

Pepperoni and Cheese and Crackers. I haven't had dinner and my stomach was making rude noises.

Yep - I ate it. But I mentally kept a tally and a tick mark on my agenda sheet and ran home and put it in my online food journal. I drank 32 oz of water while I was there and we were really productive in our planning. I also got 15 dollars out of the deal ( reimbursement :-) ). 6 points worth of this. I should be glad it wasn't cookies or cake!

The thing that I love most about holding our meetings at the bank ( our treasurer is a manager there), is that we HAVE to be done by 8PM. Sharp. The bank auto locks at that hour.

So I am home, all journaled and still hungry. I made a mock grilled cheese sandwich. (5 points compared to 13) and my phone rang. Jenna wanted to talk about the party we were helping to plan.

Now this is fun. Creative juices flowing. We were checking out websites. We found centerpieces, party favors, autograph ideas ( thank you Lew!) and table settings and colors.
I LOVE to plan parties and so does Jenna. She has such a great flare for this stuff too - we were having a ball ( Lew was listening to us and watching the game at the same time! He's so funny!) This party is going to be awesome!

I did my Firm program today for 45 minutes.

I am feeling so vindicated.

THE SCALE MOVED DOWNWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
