Another day in the heat.

I really wish it would cool down...now. I'm so tired of 90 degree weather, especially since it's the end of October! This is nutty! I hate having my air conditioner going...I swear every time it comes on it creaks the word "money". I long for the day when I can keep the screen door open all day long...and not feel like I'm dying in the afternoon!

Liberty and Sadie have been barky all day. Apparently something has disturbed them...every 30 minutes. They run to the front door, barking as if there is a stranger breaking into the house. Of course, there's no one ever there, especially since we don't have neighbors anymore. Now Liberty is crashed on the bed, tucked into a tiny little ball...maybe she's tired from all the barking!

I get to be in a parade! Hooray! The Adolphus Hotel in downtown Dallas and Neiman Marcus host the "Neiman Marcus Adolphus Children's Parade" each year. (Real original name, huh?) Anyways, it goes through downtown every 1st Saturday in December. All the proceeds go to my hospital. We had a thing go up on the intranet at work about volunteering. I volunteered for a couple of things and was chosen to be either a costume character or a character escort. Both are fun! I had to send in my height and weight today to see if it matches a costume...if not, I'll be an escort, which is also fine. Apparently out of all the people they chose, only 2 people had not been characters or escorts before. FANCY! SO, if anyone is interested in seeing a cool parade that's free, it's December 3 and you can get info on www.childrensparade.com.

I also weighed in today. I lost another 1.8 lbs! That makes the grand total 58.6. That's just craziness. I have 0.2lbs to lose to reach my next personal goal...and that's always nice! I still think it's absolutely amazing how the weight keeps coming off! I guess I just never thought that I could actually do it! I'm gathering another pile of clothes on my floor that don't fit anymore, which is good...but sad too. I really REALLY like some of these clothes, but there's no point keeping them around if they don't fit. I have to give away 3 pairs of jeans! Jeans are so hard to find..or were hard to find. It's nutty. I'm sad that I don't know anyone who can use these clothes..I'll just wait until the leukemia society needs donations again.

It's back to work tomorrow. It should be interesting, especially since we have nursing students there on Wednesdays....they are always fun. :) ANyways..behave yourself in whatever you do today...I know I won't!
