I am a size 8

We are definitely settled in.  It has been a while since I posted.  At first I did not think that there was anything to write about.  But things have been happening.  My sis was here for a week.  She is in some great pain and tried not to show it.  But I could tell that almost everything that we did was hard for her.  We did do some fun stuff.  We went to an local art show on the streets of Scottsdale.  We went to an olive oil mill.  We went to shopping a lot.  We also sat here.  We watched dvds.  We started a jigsaw puzzle.  We sat by the pool.  I did go and exercise every day almost.  she went the first two days and then they told her that the free pass did not work if she did not have an Arizona driver's license.  Bob was angry, but I understood.  So sis used the bike here one day.  We ate out a lot.  that was a problem because she is trying to lose weight for the biggest loser set up at her office.  (she did lose a few pounds here, but not much.)

After she left I went for a walk with a neighbor here in the park.  We walked to the shopping center a mike away because they advertised a Farmers Market.  Not like any farmers market I had ever seen.  No fruits or vegetable.  It was all salsa, olive oil, etc.  I did get a free massage.  We then walked through the shopping center and stopped in one of my favorite stores - Coldwater Creek.  I told the clerk that I had lost some weight and was looking for some casual pants.  She found some and asked my size.  I told her that I did not have a clue so I took in size 10 and 8.  I tried on the 10 and thought that they looked good.  The clerk suggested that I was really an 8.  So, to make her happy (we are fuuny making clerks happy aren't we?), I tried on the 8.  It looked great.  Wow.  It feels really good.  I am still trying to lose a little more so I will not buy much more, but it is nice to have some pants that do not hang on me.


Yesterday I walked with the neighbor again and just had a great time talking and walking. I do miss that when I am here. 

Tonight we are going to meet nephew and niece for a nice dinner for niece's birthday.  It will be a nice day.  and a nice week.
