Another 23 days...

I started HCG again on Monday.  Three days later...down 5 lbs.  I can only hope to lose about 15 in 23 days unless there is a miracle.  Thank goodness for Phentermine (app. suppresant), otherwise, I would be craving everything - instead, I have no desire for food but I am ripping everyone's head off -
So...If I happen to snap at you don't take it personally. 
No social life for me until the first of May.  Baseball games sure make it hard.  There is nothing better than a hotdog and chips while watching a double-header.  I am having an occasional Diet Coke which I did not have lost time.  Everyone with HCG experience say they drank Diet Coke and the weight loss didn't seem to be effected....we'll see. 
My size is looking good but my skin is a problem.  Nothing better than mid-life elasticity or the lack of it.  At the end of this, I could try to fill my skin with muscle but the best solution is going to be a scalpel.  I am now a brunette...in case you hadn't noticed.  Brunette is my natural color, or at least it used to be.  Gray is what you would see if I didn't color - no, I am not kidding.  Thanks to my dad and Aunt Pam for my genetics.
I'll check back soon and give you my latest report.

Hippity Hoppity

Easter's Come and Gone.
Most easter egg hunts were on Saturday morning.  We decided to go to the Lindon Easter Egg Hunt that started at 9:00.  We pulled into the parking lot at 9:02 and it was OVER!  I'm not kidding.  It wasn't the end of the world because we knew that Aunt Pam had her annual
Easter Eggstravaganza
at her house at noon.  She told the kids that hidden throughout her property were 17 easter nests with prizes in them.  She also had Easter Bingo for the kids and we made bird treats from bagels, peanut butter and bird seed and hung them from her tree.  Uncle Jim roasted up some mean hot dogs and we enjoyed our day.  We missed mom and dads big easter egg hunt on Sunday because they were in St. George - maybe next year.

  
 
This will be a classic picture someday. 
All the the Dain and Jacobson grandkids. 
Awesome!

  
 
 
Shaun has always reminded me so much of Uncle Jim,
this picture is proof!

Our Staycation

We didn't go far but St. George seemed like a vacation after a long winter. Savannah had a dance competition on Friday and Saturday but we had plenty of leisure time to enjoy ourselves. Shaun stayed home to work and save his vacation time for the RV.

Our weekend consisted of. . .
swimming, fishing, dancing, trophies, shopping, eating, ice-cream, dinosaur tracks, chocolate, hiking, movies in bed and sand dunes.
