Goodbye to Michael Scott

Wow,

What a poignant and fitting end to Michael Scott's reign at Dunder Mifflin - I was an absolute mess watching it. I can't imagine the series continuing much longer without him. We've seen Michael grow immensely over the past few years and to see him move to Colorado to be with Holly seemed to mark his arrival to maturity.

Michael (Steve) you'll be sorely missed.

The other love of my life

Here he is, my little boy Cian. Handsome or what?


Points update

Well,

Week two of Weight Watchers, I didn't hit it out of the ballpark like last week but I did manage to lose 2lbs. So that's just about 10lbs in two weeks...... 30 more to go!

Points Points Points...

Well folks, after the birth of our baby boy last June our schedule has been upside-down, therefore there's been a LOT of take-out food and a lot of beer ;-) add that to Christmas and a three week trip to Ireland in Jan and you've got one BFF (big fat fcuker) so I'm back on the Weight Watchers wagon. The last time I did it I lost 54lbs. So after week one of it here in Canada (WITHOUT cutting out beer mind you) I have lost 7.8lbs, my second weigh in is tomorrow morning. Watch this space..
