I'm carving out a little time here to check in.  Life has gotten unbelievably busy in the past few days.  DH and I saw a house for sale nearby that we loved and made an offer.  On its first day on the market it got three offers and our offer was a definite lowball offer.  Surprisingly, they are negotiating with us rather than either of the other two and so my day involves routine trips in to our realtor to sign the latest offer.  We're on the fifth counter now and have said this is our final offer.  Fingers crossed.

I'm doing well on my diet.  Still going to WW.  I had an 8 pound gain over Christmas and have almost got it all gone now.  I still find it totally agravating that one week of off plan eating, and that's just what it was, takes nearly two months to recoup.  Anyway.  I'm a faithful fitbit wearer and meet my daily goal of 12,000 steps with gratifying regularity.  I decided to give up sugar for Lent and have found it surprisingly easy to stick with that plan.  My exercise is a tad iffy now.  I get in my steps, still go to the gym to lift twice a week and play a lot of Wii tennis.  We have the Wii grand slam and I like beating the likes of Venus and Martina and Maria and even Chrissy on a regular basis.  Oh, if you didn't see it, go find Tami's recipe for pork tenderloin medallions with cranberry sauce on her Nutmeg Notebook blog.  A big winner in our house.

With a very quick closing, one of our negotiating chips, we face a big clean up in this house, so I'm off to the garage for an hour or so of sorting through the 3 full size file cabinets from my Dad to see if I need to keep anything . . .Fun.

Sorry for the absence of links and proofreading.  cutting corners on time here.  Stay tuned . . .
