Busy busy weekend but all pretty good stuff...quick update:
1)Went to my cousin's for the pay per view boxing/grilling evening. Picked the winning boxer, yay! The single guy there smoked and had a big old beard--not so yay! I didn't care I was there to see my cousin and we had a good time.
2)Today was Sydney's party. It went very well! Dan came with the kids, we had lunch and cake and ice cream. Sydney was happy to have us both there. Later Dan called (it was still his day but the kids had chosen to stay with me after lunch) to see if Nathan could come play baseball, he asked me to come too so I could watch as I hadn't before. Sydney wanted to go anyway...so I went and it was nice an almost normal, Dan pitched, Nathan batted, and Sydney and I chased balls.
3)R texted on and off again yesterday and today. I still don't want more than a friendship but hey it would be nice to have someone to golf or go to the movies with...
4)Bought my new running shoes today! New Balance 760s...New Balance is one of the few with wide women's widths, which I need! I wear a 7 which isn't that big but I need a wide...excited for them to come and for Boot Camp which starts up tomorrow. I lost 2 pounds this week just by cutting out some of the crap I was eating (NO Nachos/Queso!!)
5)Booked our vacay today...end of July, three nights Essex Inn Chicago, adjacent to Grant Park, with a free sthuttle to Navy Pier, the Museum Complex, and John Hancock. Not getting a car, going to take a shuttle van to the hotel and then use the hotel stuff for anything we don't walk to. Keeping a short (2 mile) radius of the hotel for all of our outings, intentionally. This is not a "go, go, go" vacation. Just me and the kids being able to go where we want, when we want. Or just chilling at the pool if we feel like it. That will be so nice! A no-eggshell vacation.......sigh.......
