It's Official


- Yesterday I received my first ever royalty check for my book--so I can now officially claim to be a paid author. Yay for me!

- My spring veggie garden is also officially under way. The weather here is just gorgeous and I am enjoying having the doors and windows open during the days. I have planted some zucchini and cucumber and another bell pepper plant in the garden. And my lettuce and tomatoes are loving the springy temperatures. Today I will plant some green beans and maybe some other seeds I have on hand.

- My husband has officially found the grossest way to get Kitty (daughter #1's nickname) to take her amoxicillin pill: he dumps the powder on top of a Reese's Peanut Butter cup and feeds it to her. I don't know if I will ever be able to eat a Reese's again without thinking of this grossness.

- Speaking of not eating Reese's anymore, I am officially less than five pounds away from reaching goal at WW. 4.2 left to go. I am trying to get there by mid-April.

  1. Hooray for you! Congratulations on the vegetable garden, on your husband finding a way to give the cat medicine, (however gross --but creative--that might be) but ESPECIALLY CONGRATS for the royalty check! That is certainly exciting. What are your plans of the money?

    -So jealous! I can't wait for Spring, but we've got awhile left to go. I've been dreaming of gardening almost every night!

  3. Those are all officially awesome announcements! (well, maybe not the meds on the candy thing) But I am so excited for you for your royalties, your garden and your weight loss.

  4. Oh, I forgot to tell you congratulatons on the weight as well. I probably just blocked that one out as it made me feel guilty for eating the chocolate kisses my husband gave me for Valentines while I was reading your blog. I am happy for you though. That is a great accomplishment!
