Happy Birthday Kellie

Today was Kellie's birthday. It was a long day that ended with the building of Legos. I don't have a lot of time so I will tell you more tomorrow. Love ya guy!

Some Updates

The heater for the pool works nicely. The water went from 73 to 82 which was much more enjoyable than the 73. We tried to get the rest of leaves out and I discovered one of the problem was the catch skimmer on the pump was half full of sand. I cleaned that out and it ran a whole lot better. Kellie is going to try and vacuum out the rest of the leaves today. I did 2 new things on the grill last night one was okay the other was a lot better. The first thing was the romaine lettuce which turned out OK, it was a decent flavor but needed something more. The second thing was peaches. i took white peaches and scooped out the pits. I placed them face down on the grill so they could soften some and pick up a grill mark. I then flipped them over and put some brown sugar laced with cinnamon on top. The mixture melted and the peach softened some more, Kellie told me they were great and should would like me to do them again. love ya guy!

Grilling Time

I am going to char some flesh tonight. Kellie has requested pork chops and a grilled romaine salad. I am going to do a chicken breast for me and probably green peppers. I am leaning toward doing mine as a shish kabob. We are going to swim some today, as I got the heater installed yesterday. Part of the swimming will be to vacuum out the last of the leaves. Sunday night is game night so I think we are going to play Hero's Quest. Kellie has to go to school Monday, all she has left is to finish the year book. Love ya guy!

Pool News

Today I tried to install the solar heater for our pool. I had done all of the steps and had even disconnected the hose to the pump and then I found out one of the joint was broken. So I had to hook everything back up and take the broken part to the store. They replaced it so when I get home I can try to finish it. It is supposed to raise the temperature 10 degrees. Tanis went to a casting call to be an extra in a movie, he is definitely going to be an extra and may get a part as a stand in. Love ya guy!

Last Days

Today was Tanis and Kellie's last day of school. Actually Kellie has to work on Monday, but no students. The celebrated by going to Vargos for ice cream. I had a long day at one of the stores interrupted by a meeting with my boss. I know tomorrow will be a good day, I need one. Love ya guy!

Thursday Is Chore Day

Thursday are my have to do it chore day. It is trash day so I have to empty all of the trash cans and take the trash out, I also change the kitty litter. Today I broke down some boxes in the garage as well so I can get them recycled. I have been working on the pool for the past month and hope to install the heater Friday morning. It is a solar heater that claims to be able to raise the temperature by 10 degrees. The cat fell out of the window on Tuesday. She has never been outside before but spent the day doing who knows what. We found her around ten o'clock. I locked down the screen she fell out of as she loves to lay in the window sill when it is open. Love ya guy!

So What Is New?

Like I said before I had an appointment to see a weight loss counselor on May 4th. I met with them and they told me about a new diet called HCG. HCG is a pregnancy hormone that helps the body burn fat and curb appetite. They told me that an average loss of a pound a day was normal on this diet. I decided to try it. For the first 28 days you do the HCG as an injection. The next 30 to 60 days you can do as a spray. Initially you start at 500 calories a day and then move up. I am currently at 600 a day and am doing fine with it. I ended the month of May down 41.8 pounds. I will continue to do this diet and am excited to lose the weight for me and my family. I made a solemn vow to my son to go to Cedar Point opening day next year to ride all the roller coasters. I want to live and i want to truly live not just exist. Love ya guy!
