Randomness

I'm tired of talking about infertility... for a little bit at least. So this post won't be about it. Yay!

But it will be a very random type of post. Because that's how I roll. :)

First, we have apples up the wazoo. Our apple tree had a bumper crop this year, and for once, we're actually going to be using them. Usually we just let them go. But anyway, we got our first frost last night, so after my husband got home from work, we took a few hours and did some picking and some major pruning... the tree is so huge that we will be unable to get the apples near the top. The only problem is though, is that I have no idea what to do with them all. He's going to be taking 2-3 boxes to his workplace, but we'll be keeping the rest. I'm thinking I'll make some apple chips, apple leather and apple sauce. It might involve me going back to Walmart and buying more jars for canning though. That's okay I guess.

Second, figure skating Grand Prix season starts tomorrow, and I'm super excited! I'm an uber fan and watch all the competitions online, whenever they may be on... which is sometimes at ridiculous times since most of the competitions will be held in Europe or Asia. But this weekend, it'll be in the US (Skate America), so I won't have to rearrange my sleep schedule. Yay! I have yet to actually attend a competition, but it's on my to-do list.

Third, I think I've lost about 5 pounds since I've started swimming. Yay! It just amazes me how much weight I'd gained while I worked. I was at 115 when I started working in June 2003, and at my max in March 2010, I weighed 145 and I was just about ready to move up a dress size... not cool. But then I got laid off, and 2 days later, got all 4 wisdom teeth out and really couldn't eat much for 2 weeks, so I lost about 10 pounds right there. And ever since then, it's just been coming off so gradually that I really haven't noticed until recently. Now I'm skirting around the 122-125 range, and I wouldn't mind getting back to 115. But my clothes fit well now, so I'm not sure I wanna try to get to a smaller size. We'll see. With the holidays coming up, it might be a tough battle to stay at this weight, but I'll give it a go. Good thing I don't normally eat a lot of Christmas cookies!
