I've been busy!

Had a very active, family filled weekend.  Spent Saturday at Depot Days festival (in the rain) and Sunday checking out flea markets.  I didn't buy much (DH did) and didn't count calories but think that I did okay.  Took small fry to Chuck E Cheese's yesterday to ward off rainy day boredom and ate a little pizza and made a salad.  Had no low fat/fat free dressing but think I stayed under calories.  Only had that and a bowl of cereal all day so....I am back to logging today IF I can keep my connection.  I really do have to find my book that has calorie count of almost every thing in it.  I haven't seen it since we moved so it didn't get in the book box...

Am trying to multitask today, will see how far I actually get.  I want to finish one of the cross stitch projects that I have going for Christmas and start another, plus I have to find a new one for DH.  Jonathon told him, in great detail, what I was making for him so it's no longer a surprise.  The surprise will be when he opens his package and DOESN'T have the Harley clock!!!  On top of that I need to do some major laundry, swap some clothes out, and work in the kitchen.  I am going to make some pickled okra if I can find any dill seed.

Tonight is just as planned.  I want to watch both Biggest Loser and the Braves game.  What I usually do is set the programmer for TBL and then flip to the game during commercials.  Works unless the game is really good!  I have thought of asking DH for a split screen TV but figure he would go ballistic if he knew that I wanted it for baseball!  I also plan to stitch through all the TV watching, too. 

Found a tiny little kitten yesterday when we came in.  I pulled up, in the rain of course, and all the outside cats came running to the car door.  They don't usually greet me that way but I didn't pay too much attention.  When they kept at it I told them that they had food and looked over at their feeder.  There, sitting in the food bowl portion of the feeder, was a tiny tortishell kitten.  She's very fluffy so I think that she will be long haired.  Took her to aunties next door and she guessed that kitty is about 4 weeks old but no more.  I have had to wrap her in baby blankets this morning because she got too cold and was getting stiff.  It was scary but now that she's wrapped up and warm she's back to being flexible.  Go figure.  Hope that she makes it longer than the last one did.
