A busy, busy, busy day....

Saturday, October 18, 2014

Today started early.  Ron got up to go fix my car (hopefully - he had bought the parts at Smyth's) at 8:30, and I had set the alarm on his phone for 11:15, so he'd know it was time to down tools and come home, cause we had things to do and places to go (no people to kill, though!) by noon or noon thirty.  I, in the meantime, was getting 1) my weigh-in done - and yes, finally - finally -  I have lost some weight!  I lost 2.2 pounds according to the Wii!  Hip, hip, hooray!  I also was getting 2) bills paid, 3) clothes sorted and laid out, 4) showered.  I also had to get on the pute to check my banking, which led to other things....and a lot of wasted time.
Much to our surprise, Ron did have the right part, and got my car fixed, with my brother's help (thanks, K.O.!) and was back home by - BY - 11, which was great, but also threw my schedule all out of whack.  But, in the end, we both got showered and changed, and we got on the road pretty much on time.  After a quick stop uptown, instead of going cross-country from home, we got to Mt. Orab where we stopped for gasoline ($3.05), which beat the crap outta Bethel or Hamersville for price, which we knew it would.
We then got on to Sardinia for the wedding, which was beautiful.  Their 'theme' and colors was fall.  Fall leaves and brilliant colors were prevalent everywhere, and it was all gorgeous.  Even the wedding cake was covered with fall leaves!  That's the first time I've seen that, and it was pretty stunning.

We thought we'd be at the wedding until time to go to the next event, but we (all) were kinda chivvied out of the hall by 4, which surprised a lot of us, and so we came back home to cool our heels for an hour, before heading back out again.  I was glad, because that gave me time to change my shirt.  The one I had on just wasn't heavy enough - I was a little chilly all afternoon.
We got up to church for the Couples' Dinner - it had a German theme, German food and all, which means I had slim pickings and Ron was a very happy camper!  The guest speaker was Rick Crawford, who is Clermont County's elite historical speaker.  I thought it was going to be about Clermont County, and more specifically Bethel's history, but - no, he spoke about how Clermont County and hauntings.  Hauntings!  It was awesome!  He is a very good speaker, and I already knew most of the things he spoke of, and I really enjoyed it.  I bought one of his DVDs to watch later on - I'm sure it's gonna be good!

When I put my food in MFP, I just marked 2 plates of Chinese buffet and called the day a washout.  There was no way I could mark all the little bits and pieces I ate at both the wedding reception and the Couples' Dinner, so I thought this was the best way.  So, I ended up exactly even on my calorie count.

I'm really sorry that I didn't get to go to the Craft Shows that I was invited to go to today, but there was no way I could be in so many places all at one time.  I love - LOVE - Craft Shows, and would have loved to fit them in, but it just wasn't possible.
