Out of the habit

This morning I realized that I had not written a blog for awhile, but I didn't remember how long.  When I opened up the program and saw that it was April 4, I was pretty surprised.  Today is April 22, so that was a long time!  Sorry about that.

We have been very busy during this time, but isn't that how it always is?

Passover ended and much Mah Jongg has been played.  We had a two day bus trip with the Solivita Travel Club to Sarasota and Fort Myers.  We enjoyed some shopping districts in those cities as well as the Mystery Train and the Ford/Edison homes complex.  Everything was a lot of fun, and we would go back to the home because we didn't feel we had enough time.  We also discovered a great seafood house there called Pinchers.  They have several locations, but they are all on the West Coast of Florida.  Mark and I won the Mystery Train because we solved the mystery and named the correct killer.  Only one other person in our car knew who the killer was, but we knew the bonus question, too.  We won a mug and a certificate signed by the cast.  We really did enjoy that little outing.

Today we are heading up to downtown Orlando to the Lake Eola bandstand area.  Not only is it Earth Day today, but the Rosen JCC is also celebrating Yom Ha'Atzmaut, Israeli Independence Day.  My little SOJC choir is performing three songs at 2:50 p.m.  Unfortunately, the weather forecast is for scattered rain and thunderstorms.  I was going to have them sing with keyboard and Jonathan's EWI, but because of the rain, we are doing everything a cappella.  There is no cover there anywhere, so we are going to get wet if it rains.  Mark and I plan to take rain ponchos in a backpack just in case.

My weight hasn't done anything good.  On April 4, I reported that I weighed 280 after Passover.  I got busy and went down to 274 in the first days after the holiday.  Then I got busy in the other direction for the last week so that this morning I weigh 281.  I am totally out of control in my snacking.  I have a doctor's appointment next week, and she is not going to be happy.

Today we are eating lunch at the food trucks at the celebration.  We are hoping one of the food trucks is going to be kosher!  Then we are having dinner out tonight with Susan and Jonathan.  We also have dinner out Wednesday night with Jonathan. On Tuesday we will have lunch and dinner out because we are going to be all day at Animal Kingdom with the Solivita Disney Fan Club.  So I doubt if I'm going to lose any weight this week.  Sad.

The last time I uploaded pictures from my cell phone, Picasa could not seem to find them to upload to the web.  If I don't upload them to the web, I can't post them on the blog.  I have a lot of pictures from the Mystery Train trip, so I'm going to try to upload them and see what happens.

Enjoy your Earth Day no matter what you are doing.

PS  Nothing will upload from Picasa to the web this time either.  I'm not sure why, but it seems Picasa has finally died.  I'll have to find a new program to use.

PPS  The performance was great this afternoon.  It rained quite a bit for awhile, but around 1 p.m. it was clear and stayed that way the rest of the time. Good job, choir!
