Happy Hump Day!

It's Wednesday after Labor Day, and I thought I'd post about some of the things that have been going on here, and about some of the things that are really making it real that summer is over.

Maybe a list?  Yeah, I'm feeling a list coming on!

1. Tony, my wonderful husband had a bicycle accident on Monday.  He went mountain biking (we're in the Midwest, so more like hill biking) with my brother.  Apparently, as the story goes, he went over a hill and smack, into a tree.  He's ok.  He has some awesome bruising, and his muscles are pretty sore.  We're thinking he may have something broken in his foot (we are not doctors).  Also, due to this very odd softball size swelling on the inside of his knee, that is now wickedly bruised, we (again, not doctors) think he may have popped the knee out of joint, and it popped back in.  This is our opinion, again, we are not doctors.

The Neck Bruise (is it just me, or does my cats butt make him look like he has a wicked long goatee?  it's ok if it's just me.)

The Man Legs - wicked awesome bruise

 2.  I am working toward my 50 lbs weight loss.  Only a couple more pounds and I will be there!  Which is awesome.  Also, I'll get to pull out my new purse - my reward for getting this far!  AND, 'cause there's gotta be an and, I'll start thinking of how I will reward myself when I get to my goal.

3.  Have you noticed that it's getting dark earlier again?  Yeah, me too.  It's starting to feel like fall - except for the temperatures, that still feels like the seventh circle of hell.

4.  Dance class has started up again.  We'll be there twice a week every week while school is in session.

5.  Politics is in full swing.  The Republicans just had there convention, the Democrats are in the middle of theirs.  This has made me think that I really need to make sure that I am registered to vote and am knowledgeable about the issues and candidates.  It's been too long since I cast a vote.

6.  I am still baking more right now.  Next up, Pecan Turtle Bars in anticipation of my grand parents coming to visit.

7.  We are getting out house ready for a dog.  We are getting a fence, which is phase one of four phases.  Hopefully, we can get a dog this winter or spring.  Maybe even a puppy?

8.  Do you know why 8 is the most feared number?  Because seven eight (ate) nine.  LOL!  Had to put that in because I couldn't think of an 8.

I think that's about it - at least all that I can think of right now.  I hope you are having a great week.  Let's put this hump day to bed!!!
