Ah, the pool debacle. It seems to finally be coming to an end. I ended up having to call the contractor back out to do what he was supposed to do in the first place.
He was really quite nice about it and also added an extra space for the filter equipment to sit. I *really* like the way it turned out. They offset the addition by just a fraction of an inch which made it much more interesting to look at and almost looks like a decorative thing. 
The only bad thing is that I had to drain ...

Woooo! That trip to Austin was BRUTAL!!! I love to travel, but I don't think I want to do it while pregnant, again. That was no fun. At.All.I came home and our little(ish) concrete slab was done. I paid the guy 1/2 up front and told him that I would pay the rest when I got home. He was supposed to build a 5" think, 18' round slab. I got about 3 - 4" and 16'. WTF?!?!?!

I never really had an appreciation for how many foods had sugar in them until recently. I have found ONE type of food that I can deal with sugar being in it: bread. Seems as though almost all bread has a little. I cannot taste the sugar in bread!!! But don't expect me to eat anything else that has even a little bit of sugar in it! Yes, that includes you, you sly muffin, you...I also had an epiphany about the fruit bars I was hoping to find that did...

This morning at 4:15 am, I was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed...ready to take on the world. When I woke up, I was actually able to breathe, for a change. So, I got up and got my two-mile walk in, listened to the birdies and watched the sunrise. I
my early morning walks and my date with the sun. Prince Charming made me some berry medley tea (which I really think I don't like) and I was actually hungry for the first time in weeks by about 7 am! So I ate and then was hungry AGAIN at 11, so I a...
