Since I’m riding on a wave of giddiness at the realization that I’ve lost a total of 14 pounds so far (Beloved has lost 20; go figure) and rolling my eyes at my darling husband who is trying to convince me the secret to rapid weight loss is frequent sex, I couldn’t help but post this.

We’re puttin’ the “toddle” in “toddler”!

Have a lovely day, y’all.

There’s no Spin Cycle this week.  I feel so…bereft.

I suppose I could post a recipe (White Girl Stir Fry, anyone?), but since I’m all out of stories about obtaining Chuck, I’m saving that for tomorrow while I worry and obsess about my Fight Back Friday post.  So, you all know what that means, right?

That’s right – pictures of The World’s Cutest G Man.

The work week is half over, so have a lovely Wednesday, y’all.

The lovely and benevolent Jen of Sprite’s Keeper assigned us each a unique Spin Cycle topic this week.  Mine was “children” or, she suggested, “grandchildren” – with a not-so-subtle hint that photographs would be welcome.

Well, twist my arm.

So, dear interwebz, I give you last Sunday.

The day began with a yummy breakfast at Bob Evans (Owens to you folks south of the Mason-Dixon Line).

Mmmmmm...Apple Juice

Menu - check. Spoon - check. Okay, so what now?

Um, Grandpa - not exactly what I had in mind...

Now, THIS is more like it!

That was tasty, Grandpa!

After we finished wearing eating our breakfast, we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa’s hotel, where there was – yay! – an indoor pool.

Take that, rain.

Chillin' with Carl the Starfish

We loved our new friend, Carl the Starfish (and lots of Grandma’s Sushi Bar points to anyone who can tell me why we named him Carl), but he was a little too…tame.  So we ditched him.

I Can Swim!

Look At Me Go!

I'm Just A Natural!

Would you believe they made me get out after just an hour?!?

Dryin' Off

So, then we went back to the hotel room and I decided I should indulge the Grands, ’cause they were really tired.
