And next week the hubby and I are gonna PURGE the house to get rid of stuff. He also has some incentive to clean out the garage and I will be MORE than happy to help him b/c it hasn't been clean for years. My goal is to clean out the porch. I love the fall and like to sit out their to read and drink tea. I'm thinking it would also be a good exercise room, it's so cool in the fall and winter, it'd be comfortable!

How do I feel about my day? Awesome day! My softball team won the championship!! It was a great! I'm gonna miss my team though, it's my Monday night routine. We're just a bunch of misfits that happened to play really well together. We don't have any "power hitters" or anyone that is spectacular, we just work well together as a TEAM. It'll be fun to play with them again next year. Went out to the bar we play for after the game and the bar bought us pizzas and one of the guys bought a round of beer. Haven't done that for a long time (momma duties keep me home most of the time). Great day!! But not that softball is over I'm going to have to get on the stationary bike as a replacement and buckle down and do the challenges more diligently.
Thanks for posting everyone!! KEEP IT UP!!0 -
