AWOL!

It's Sunday night, just before The Apprentice, and I need to explain my absence.

Friday was BUSY! At work, I had to get ready for Grinding of the Greens, and I had three meetings. After work, I went to the Y to help with the Shrinkdown weigh-in and then worked out. By the time we got home and ate, it was nearly bedtime!

Saturday was the big Grinding of the Greens! We ground Christmas trees and distributed the mulch at three of our seven sites. It was a great day. We had GREAT volunteers - as usual - and gave away most of the mulch. We also raised some $$$. I got about 10 bags of mulch for our house, too. Afterwards, I had lunch and took a little nap - all that mulch shoveling wore me out. Then we went out to dinner and bought groceries, and you guessed it, the day was gone.

Today, we mostly relaxed and worked around the house. I got the mulch out in our herb garden and the garden beside the house. Every time we walk out the back door, it smells like Christmas trees! It's FABU!

Besides all of that, no big news except that at the Shrinkdown weigh in, I'd lost SEVEN lbs. My scales only showed five lbs., and I think that is the most accurate, but if they want to record seven, I'll take it! I think I was the biggest loser on the United Way team.

Don't forget American Idol starts on Tuesday! The first shows are tedious, but funny. And Roxanne, even YOU can get American Idol!

More after The Apprentice!
