Ok – I joined my Hub’s gym last week in order to keep him company and to avoid a lecture! lol  But I’m really enjoying it.

And, now that I’ve lost a bit of weight and feel really, really good…I’m considering taking this to the next level.  Watching what I eat.  But how to proceed?  There are almost too many options.  And none of them take into account that there are more non-dieters in my home than dieters.  How do you do that??

I noticed that the gym was hanging posters for Weight Watchers on the walls today.  I’ve never done weight watchers.  Mainly because I can barely get out of the house for the gym…how can I add another thing??  But I did it online once upon a time…I just can’t remember if it worked for me or not.  Stupid memory!!

Anyone else have any experience with WW online or have any other ideas for me?  BTW, I tried Sparkpeople…it’s a confusing mess of a site for me that I did not enjoy!!

When we were shopping for a house…one of the things I wanted was a fruit tree.  I wasn’t sure what I wanted, but I didn’t find it.   So, my brother-in-law and sister said they’d take me to the bare root sale up in their area to pick out my own.  And yesterday was the day!!

To be honest, I wanted one of everything – so ending up with 5 seems pretty conservative to me.  Here are my new trees:

Bing Cherry – one of my earliest memories is climbing the cherry tree when I was a kid in Mt Shasta and eating myself sick

0011

Bartlett Pear – Eric’s favorite fruit

006

Arctic Jay White Nectarine – J1’s favorite fruit

0051

Combination Apple including: Gravenstein, Granny Smith, Red Delicious, Yellow Delicious, Fuji and Red McIntosh

004

Dwarf Robertson Navel Orange

Can’t wait to see how they grow over the years! 🙂

I went to download pics of our zoo trip and found that I haven’t uploaded pictures since before J1’s birthday.  So now you are going to get lots of pictures this post!  Sorry if anyone is still on dial-up!

001First…a before picture of J1’s birthday pie – apple.  No after pictures…it went quick!! Yum!

041Making friends at the zoo!  No, really we planned to meet up with Trina and the kids.

Today I met my BIL and sister and bought trees for our backyard.  I’m so excited about it – but I’ve got a very tired toddler who really needs to be put to bed.  (Is it really only 6:45??)  I guess I’ll save that for tomorrow!  Night all!
