I had a fabulous and busy Fourth of July weekend and don't have time to be emailing and blogging at work. My Independence Day weekend began early, when I left work at 4:45pm on Thursday July 3rd. I would have been over 40 hours if I had worked until 6pm so Scott said I could leave early. I drove to the middle of our state to spend most of the weekend with friends. We hung out that night and lit some small fireworks. We had a lot of fun with the sparklers and only melted the plastic table on the deck a little. Friday we got up really early (my friend's husband left the house at 6am, we left around 8am) and drove into the state capitol to spend the day hanging out and watch fireworks. We had the best view in the whole place! We were near Ali & Nova so I called Ali but we weren't able to get together. We at least got to talk to each other. I also called my cousin Jonathan because I thought he and Page might be in the area with some of my family. We didn't get back until almost 1:30am. We went to a party the next day. There was a band and we ate fried clams and steamers. The clams were YUMMMMY! I was exhausted, but satisfied, when I finally made it back to Susan's. (Have I already mentioned somewhere in this blog that I will be remaining here and starting to contribute to household expenses next month? I have discovered that I can't afford to move out on my own until I'm making more money.) Sunday I, mostly, rested. I also weighed myself.
As you can see in my weight loss list, I have gained back some weight. I think, however, that the number itself is a bit deceiving. I am now using my third belt hole and my torso looks better. I've been running a little so the increase might be muscle mass. It also might have been water weight gain. I'll have a better idea when I weigh myself on Sunday. On the up side, I took more than 16,000 steps yesterday and I'm already over 10,000 today. My dinner today was very colorful. I had some shrimp, corn on the cob, english peas, blueberries, and a white flesh nectarine. Yum.
I worked 10-6 each day this week so had a fairly basic, if busy, time. I did some more training and got a lot done. I'm not sure if I posted here yet that I'm blogging for work once a week and am really enjoying that. I get to be creative and funny on a regular basis! I've also started playing around with updating our website using Dreamweaver. I'm not crazy about that software but I think we're ditching it soon. It does a lot of stuff, but it's a pain to figure it out. Anyway, I think this post is long enough to make up for my week and a half of silence. Lots of love!

I was going to tell you that next week you'd probably lose a lot of weight. But, I can see, you did! My fourth was very uneventful, but I was glad to be home with my mom. :o) Miss you!
