3 favorite inventions

It's been challenged to name your 3 favorite inventions right now...
well, besides the obvious running water, electricity, and the wheel I think I'll name my favorite 3 from the last 50 yrs.
1. Wireless internet access... how cool is it to sit in your favorite coffee shop or fav chair in your house/yard and browse the internet or chat w/ friends??? Seriously that's a good thing!
2. Cell phones!!! When I was w/out mine it felt as if my right arm was missing too. I love the secure feeling of being able to contact anyone from just about anywhere!
3. Automatic coffee makers. I love waking up and stumbling downstairs to freshly brewed coffee waiting for me. All I have to do is remember to set it up the night before! I don't know if I could handle having to make it on the stovetop. I know this, I probably wouldn't be as addicted if I did!

So, I haven't really done anything about getting a new job yet. I really need to get moving on that though. For a few reasons, one being that I don't want to take advantage of them saying we'll pay you till you get a job.

Seriously it is hot AND humid in Texas and I DON'T like it. I hate that I feel almost trapped in the house. Saturday night we went to a bbq, it was 95 degrees out but not humid so really it was ok, like you could sweat and get relief. We even played volleyball. 6 games of it I believe. It was really fun. I hadn't played volleyball in YEARS! and the last time I did I was probably 60 pounds lighter. We played in the sand and this was my first time doing that... totally hated it. It's really a different game in the sand. You can hardly move. I thought that on Sunday morning I would be soooo sore, but I was actually fine. No pains at all. So at least I'm not getting that old yet.

I've decided that when C and I get back from our vacation we are getting serious about losing weight. We keep talking about it but neither one of us is doing anything. Well, now we are. I'm getting rid of the junk in the house and we are going to use our ab lounger thing and do the walking videos and WATCH WHAT WE EAT!! We both do so much mindless eating it's crazy. oh and at restaurants we are so sharing. The portions are plenty for 2 people. Besides, we will save money that way too. I'm going to be realistic in my goal. I want to lose 10% of my body weight by Labor day. Totally doable if I stay on track. I'd love to be at my goal by January, but I know that will be hard w/ the holidays and plataeus. We will be going to a wedding in FL in Jan and celebrating our 10th anniversary (a month early) while we are there. I so wish there was a weight watchers meeting near me. I did pretty good on WW. Guess I'll keep you posted on this. Feel free to leave encouraging comments for me! ;)
