I'm a liar....

I didn't workout, but I definitely thought about it. Yesterday I posted I was going to workout but the timing didn't so I didn't. Today I'm going to do something. I swear! Stop saying, sure Sarah, whatever.... I'm really going to do something. It might not be the gym, but it will be something.

Brian and I went to the MD Home and Garden show. It was very nice. I got lots of contacts for putting in a new deck. They all offer free design and estimates so I told him I'm going to be like that show on HGTV where they pick from design 1, 2, and 3. Ha, if I could just get someone else to pay for it. I don't need anything fancy, just something practical and that will add to the resale value whenever we decide to move out.

We (at least I think) decided on a motif (well, Brian might not be calling it motif) for the bedroom. I need something relaxing but don't want to spend lots. So, I think we're keeping the cherry bed and nightstands I already had and the walls are going to be a shade of sage green. The carpet is getting pulled up (thank God) and laminate is going down. The linens will probably end up khaki/tan or something. I just pray it relaxing. I honestly get so stressed walking in that room now. We also decided to give in and get a flat screen for the wall. I have a big tube TV now and its so cumbersome. This will allow me to get rid of the big piece of useless furniture holding it up, and hopefully add to the comfort of the room. I have no idea when this project is starting. One part of me wants to put it off since we've just got done (almost done) doing all the other projects. The other part wants to just get it over. Once the basement is all done and the bedroom...oh and the deck, then there are no more projects. Which also means more money in my pocket, finally! :)

WW: been good today. Cheerios & skim for breakfast, lean cuisine for lunch and gnocchi w/ turkey sausage and spinach for supper. And I'm going to the grocery store for a big shopping day. I haven't had one of those in months, I swear. Its my stock up day. No excuses. I told myself I was going to be good for Lent. Easters almost here...I have to be good on my word. Plus the cruise is only a month away!!

I'm sure you're "really going to do something" is different than mine. I always "do something," but it typically doesn't count as exercise. For instance, I can hang out in front of the computer for hours at a time. Too bad that doesn't burn more calories.

A cruise sure sounds nice. Where are you headed?

Ummm, well its almost 830p and I still didn't workout. I guess i could go downstairs and do my DVD....except Food Network (how ironic) is much more interesting right now.

We are going to Cozumel and Grand Cayman. My first cruise...
