Last night's Girl Scout ceremony went very well if I do say so myself. But dude, I do not like being the center of attention (in real life that is, here I'm good with it). And yeah I was really not expecting a gift or recognition at all. (I'm just humble like that, lol.) I'd rather be helping the girls with their Try-Its or sorting a thousand boxes of cookies than be praised and given gifts in front of a bunch of people. (Also? I may just be weird.) But it's all over and done and hopefully I'll be able to sneak into a more "behind the scenes" roll in the twin's next Girl Scout troop. Although there is that little matter of Kelly starting as a Daisy in the fall...
Today I plan to do a lot of sewing and visit the school twice. Once for some crazy PTA volunteer thing I accidentally signed up for last fall and the second for some "enrichment presentation" thing in the evening. All I know is my kids would be devastated if we don't all go. I vaguely remember it from the last two years, the classrooms and halls are plastered with all the papers and art projects that haven't come home yet for me to throw away. (I jest! I don't throw them away, I recycle.)
We are walking both times even though we'll have to cross the "busy road" between us and the school. Because that whole 2.5 mile round trip twice would cost me like $1.80 in gas. (Did I ever mention the van gets crappy 12 miles to the gallon if I'm lucky?) And also I'm not even close to my lose 14 pounds in 5 weeks goal. More like 2 pounds in 3 weeks. (Probably not a good idea to shoot for 12 pounds in 2 weeks, huh?) Weight loss would be so much easier if broccoli tasted like chocolate and sewing burned as many calories per minute as running.
