Where is June going?

The summer has been pretty busy so far, ANY days I'm not working, I usually am going home to WI. Hopefully I will attend at least ONE June Dairy Breakfast this year. I've been spending lots of my free time cooking lately as well. The best way to stick with a nutrition plan is to prepare all your own food. My good friend Abbey, my unofficial dietitian, and myself figured out that I have lowered my BMI almost a full 7% in four months! (6.9% was the figure). I am glad I am doing this, I know it is a lot healthier for my body, and there is very little sacrifice food wise. The biggest restriction was sugar, but by getting rid of it, I've expanded my horizons to so many good foods. I have been relishing fresh cherry/grape tomatoes. Good thing I have 3 planted in my garden. Hopefully they will start pushing lots of blossoms and fruit. There are a few blossoms already. The garden looks like a Ma & Pa Kettle thing, it's a bit shabby, but as long as the zucchini, tomatoes and onions do well, I'll be satisfied. I want my Mom's Zucchini stew, now.

Other agendas: my car is in the shop for the transmission. The repair was estimated to be about $600-700, so I decided to take the hit and use was I was saving from my tax return to repair it. I hope that this will make it good for a long time now, I would love to get at least two more years out of it, however if it will last longer, I will use it until it dies. I want to be financially free by the time I would want to go car shopping for something really nice and reliable. The plan is, hopefully, GOD willing, that I will be on my way to having children by the time I need my next car, and I wouldn't mind spending good money on something nice, safe and reliable for
their sake. Problem with my plan: I think I work too much to find Mr. Mostly Right (I DO not believe in Mr. Right, because no one is perfect, especially not me.) : )
