This week has been so hectic, trying to get ready for this trip. It started out with my plane tickets - I was booked on British Air, then they announced they were going on strike (of course on the dates of both my outbound AND inbound flights!), not to mention the risk of volcanic ash around London, so I had to switch last minute to American. It's kind of cool - a direct flight from Chicago to Delhi, going over the North Pole! But it stresses me out because it's outside of my British Air comfort zone! I'm sure it will be fine...
And now the trip might take longer than the planned 2 weeks!
We have to go on a site survey, and some of these places are hard to get to! One location is an 11 hr drive (to the foothills of the Himalayas). No closer airport. One-way, steep switchback roads... It'll take 1 day to get there, 1 day for the survey, 1 day to get back. The other location is about a 1 hour flight, then a 4 hour drive. Again - 1 day to get there, 1 day for the survey, 1 day to get back. The third location is only a 1 hour drive, so at least that can be done in a single day! It might spill over Memorial Day weekend, I am so bummed, but what can I do?
I better be back by DD's b-day on 6/4, though.
Our cabinets are in, they look great, but there are a couple things that still need to be fixed. They are coming back tomorrow to get those things taken care of. Countertops arrive on Monday! So hopefully when I get back, I will have new countertops!!! I am sad that I can't be there to enjoy them for 2 weeks - I swear they better be clean and perfect when I get back!
My weight has gone up EVERY day this week!
The effect of the jello shots and cheesecake from DD's soccer party last Sat never went away...
I only worked out 3x this week too, but like Amy said, 3x is better than 0x! It's about TOM time, I'm sure that is what is causing the gain. I know it's water retention, and I'm still under 140, but I was loving seeing 135 last week! I plan to take a couple videos with me, and work out while I'm on travel.

Tracy, thanks! I need to post my updated kitchen pix on Facebook. There's just not enough time in the day!
Amy, DD actually asked me to come talk to her about the video they watched at school. It was cute and I was glad she felt more comfortable about talking about it! I asked if she learned anything new, that I hadn't already told her, and she said the only new thing that was she wasn't supposed to flush pads. Ooops, I guess I forgot to mention that.
Then she said "Oh, so THAT'S why they always have those little trash cans in the restroom stalls!"
