8.25.03

i just got off the phone with emily's daycare center and i'm a tad bit nervous that their infant room (6 weeks to 1 year) won't be ready by next tuesday. it was supposed to be ready a week ago, but they're waiting for the carpenter to install some partitions. uh, what's our backup plan again? [note to self: develop backup plan.] i'm going to visit them on wednesday to drop off the ream of application paperwork i owe them; hopefully they'll be up and running by then!

mike update: yesterday mike suggested i read covey's book, the seven habits of highly effective people. for some reason i took offense to this suggestion, but i'm not sure why. i guess i would like to think of myself as already being an effective person, but honestly, who couldn't benefit from examining their habits and possibly [probably] making changes. actually, i'm not sure i even understand what effective means. anyway, i'm no longer mad and the book is in my amazon shopping cart.

emily update: tomorrow is her two month birthday. she's so amazing! she can really hold her head up now and she smiles in recognition and during play time. also, she takes 2-hour long naps during the day in her basinet, which is great for me. i'm not sure how much she weighs, but she's about to move into the next size of clothing, the 3-6 month size. my baby's growing up!

laundry update: all clean clothes put away. one load in dryer, one load in washer, and one load in hamper.

fitness update: 35.5 pounds down, 17.5 pounds to go. i'm only 3.5 pounds away from weighing what mike weighs. wow! as soon as my oatmeal digests, i'm going to do 20 minutes on the stairmaster. i've been doing 20 minutes a day and it seems to be working.

house update: mike did the dishes this morning and i took out the garbage and made the bed. i'm satisfied.

journal update: 2 entries in 2 days!

thank you card update: wrote 6 thank you cards yesterday. now current with thank you's.
