FUN DAYS ARE COMIN' !!!!!!

Yep, that is what I said. More fun days are on their way. Made reservations today for another week in The Crescent City!!!! I am going to my first Frenchquarterfest in April. YEAAAA!!!!
I always feel better about everything once I have secure reservations to another trip to my favorite city. Anna is going with me again. And as long as I stay about 3 ft away in the mornings, she is great fun to travel with. She's just not a morning person. Perks up after noon or so. So really no big deal!

Doug, the loan guy, says my 're-finance' will close soon. Probably Friday, but no later than Tuesday. So that is, literally, money in the bank. Once I actually have the money, I will start shoppin for new wall-to-wall carpet. That will be a HUGE undertaking for sure! I have to clean all my closets so they, too, can be re-carpeted. Haven't really cleaned them thru and thru since I've lived here (15 years!). Yikes. I mean I've cleaned them occasionally but never have I pulled everything out at the same time. Should be interesting. Then to stack everything in the garage or in areas (bathroom maybe?) where there is no carpet. Also have to empty all hutches and wall units so movers can move them without breaking anything. Almost everything will be stored in the garage, I guess. And I am having alot of trouble deciding what color of carpet I want. I would love to do the ballzy thing and go with color but will probably, like almost everyone else on the planet, go with a neutral color. Thinking about a short kinda shaggy type of carpet. That, at least, will be a little bit different. So sort of a short shaggy-ness in boring beige or tan with little specks of color? hmmmmm.......well, I'm getting a little ahead of myself since I don't even have a penny yet!

Starting Weight-watchers on Monday (after SuperBowl - - party, party!). I bought the books today. I'll be doing it on my own, no meetings. I've really never caught the concept of having to go to meetings in order to lose weight. Always, when I put my mind to it, have never had a problem with dieting. Going the slow route....hope to lose 20 lbs by my vacation in April.

Smoking? Still working on it.....the good news is that I'm smoking half of what I used to smoke....the bad news is that I'm still smoking.
