Is it October yet?

I'm so ready to go to the Feast that I'm about to burst. This is the first year we've gotten our room so far in advance. There should be no worries or last-minute scares involving where we're going to stay. Of course, now that I've said it... The rest of the fam are eager to go as well. We know that some of our friends from OH and LA are going to Daytona, along with most of our local congregation, so there should be plenty of people there we already know. I'm looking forward to making as many new friends as possible while I'm there; I know it's gonna be tough devoting enough time to the friends we already have while making an avid attempt to incorporate new friends into our family circle. I think we'll have an event or two at our place, maybe a progressive dinner or something like that as well as a lunch. Maybe a fish fry, 'cuz I'm definitely going deep-sea fishing. We'll see.

As far as the exercise/diet, today I plan to wrap up week two of good ole couch-to-5k. I've lost maybe a pound this week (after splurging on lasagna to begin the week), and I'm currently wearing a pair of jeans that were uncomfortably tight a few weeks ago. Slow progress, but progress nonetheless. Tomorrow I'll probably wear a pair of black slacks that I haven't been able to button in months. They won't be as loose as they were when I bought them, but I tried them on today and at least now I can button them again. *Yay for small victories* Yep, I'm definitely gonna utilize the exercise room at Ocean Walk this Feast. Oooh, I get to have key-lime pie every day while I'm there. Yum.

Guess who just decided to look at the speaking schedule last night? Guess who's gonna be pulling a Manuel tonight?
