Up-Down Challenge Weigh-in #24 and the laziest Wednesday ever

Yesterday was my day off but the Beau was at a sales conference all day and out for dinner with his coworkers, so I didn't have to worry about making dinner.  In fact, I didn't have to worry about anything at all.  I got out of bed at 11:30 (after going to bed at 3 am) and proceeded to sit on the couch and watch Midsomer Murders all day.  We had a backlog of eight episodes recorded on the PVR, so I just watched them all.  And it was glorious.

I did also find time to hop on the scale.  The results?

Last week:  192.4
This week:  191.8

It's only 0.6 lb, but it's a loss.  Woot! 

And it's been a super long week at work so I'm really looking forward to the weekend.  Oh Friday, you are so welcome!

Have a happy Monday with...Midsomer Murders

I have a soft spot for British detective fare.  I love my Brit-cop books and I've recently discovered Peter Robinson who, though not as good as my main man Reginald Hill, is pretty decent.

Well, hello Sergeant.
But I've also got a deep love of Midsomer Murders, a great small-town British copper show that's as quaint as it is deadly, although it's (refreshingly) not graphic.  It focuses more on the characters and each episode always has its share of quirky elder folk. 

The show follows DCI Tom Barnaby and his young Sergeant as they solve the cases and it doesn't hurt that the Sergeant tends to be rather adorable.  My favourite is Ben Jones.

I'm not a huge fan of Mondays, so it's nice to have my lovely little show to enjoy each week.
