At your request...

OK, so a few of you wonder what happened to the goING away party of which I spoke last time. So here goes...

Annette, Oneida and I spent a long time setting up the hall on Friday then preparing all the sandwiches, punch and desserts on Sunday morning. We really are an excellent team, I must say!

Well, turns out there was a break down in communication somewhere because whereas the parish administrator asked us to do everything on behalf of the parish, others talked among themselves and turned it into a potluck. Sooooo...there was WAY TOO MUCH FOOD, and there still would have been too much even if we hadn't spent all that time shopping, setting up and fixing it all. So, overall, we weren't even really needed.

But we had fun, nonetheless.

For those of you who read Lost a Sock, you will know she has been doing extremely well on her diet. Me, not so much. Even though I have tried to be more conscious of what I've been eating, it hasn't worked that well. Sometimes I keep track of points, sometimes not. I have not lost any more than like 3 pounds in a month and a half. I really have no one to blame but myself, but I still don't like it. I can't seem to put my finger on what I did so right last time and what I am not doing, or can't bring myself to do, this time.

In a little bit of other news, in less than a month from now, my good friend and former boss will be installed as provincial of the Augustinians of the midwest province. I am looking forward to going to the celebration. I wonder where we'll go afterwards! ;)
