I actually felt better mentally when I woke up today knowing I had made a definite step towards regaining control of my weight.  Of course, that was before Bill asked if I wanted to go out to eat this evening.  Hmmm….  What part of “dieting” does he not understand?  I told him this morning that I had rejoined Weight Watchers and he thought that was great.  And then he promptly asked me to go out to eat.  Hmmm….  At least he mentioned it early enough that I ate a lot of 0 point stuff today so I had only consumed 3.5 of my 22 points for the day when we went to dinner.  We went to Tony’s for Italian.  I tried to select the lesser of several evils and had penne and Italian sausage with roasted peppers, artichoke hearts and pesto sauce.  Bill had chicken parmigiana.  We both brought home half or more of our order.  After dinner we drove over to Allyn and took our walk out on the pier.  I started a hat at four when we left home.  By time he got home at eight I had 4 3/4 inches knit on it already.  
     I spent the day stitching out this little door hanger to send to Reign along with her mother’s birthday present.  I had to do it a second time when I flubbed the first attempt.   I know…..what else is new?

     Speaking of Dawn and Reign, here is a picture of them from our visit.  Dawn has started dying her hair to cover the gray.  I think she looked better with it dark, but what do I know.  Reign really takes after her Dad.

 

     Guess I’ll see if I can watch “Sense and Sensibility” tonight.  Actually, I’d like to go to bed but I would wake up after a couple of hours and be awake till all hours!

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;  To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.  O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. - Psalm 30:11-12, The King James Version
