Home Theater

Thankfully, the home theater room is almost done. Last week I went and picked up the carpet. A couple days later I went back for the movie risers. Funny story about the movie risers. When I built them, I made sure to take careful measurements so they would fit the width of the room exactly when they were side by side. After I got them carpeted, I was proud to see that they looked like a professional had built them. However, when I got them home, it became apparent they wouldn’t fit down the stairs! I felt like such a bonehead. We ended up peeling some of the carpet back, partially disassembling the risers, moving them downstairs, putting them back together, and tacking the carpet back down.
 
Over the weekend Rendara worked on the curtains and got them all done. Almost all our furniture we ordered came in yesterday. We have two rows of seating. The first row is made up of three chase lounges that sit side by side and the second row is home theater seating. One of the pieces didn’t come in for the home theater seating and it will be at least another week before it comes in. All in all, the room looks pretty sweet. We ordered most of our movie posters over the weekend, but we still need to do the floor lighting. Probably take care of that this weekend.
 
Also last night, like most of the known world, I played some Halo 3. Rendara and I just played some of the campaign. Haven’t tried the multiplayer yet. I’m reserving any strong opinions about the game until I’ve played it more. So far, I don’t think it’s any better or worse then Halo 2 was when it came out, which isn’t a bad thing. The graphics are certainly better. 
 
The “diet” is still going pretty well. I’ve been on it for three weeks and have lost 22lbs, which brings me down to 278. I still have a long way to go before I see 225, but I’m getting there.

What kind of diet is this? I might need to try it.

Congrats on the diet. I started one a week ago and I have been busting my butt. I don't know how much I have lost because we don't have a scale but I have lost because I can tell in my pants. I will tell you what helped me. I was talking to our gym teacher and I told her I was going to get a pedometer. She said she had a bunch that nobody used. She gave me one. There is also some sort of contest going on this week where they are trying to get people motivated. She said that you are suppose to take at least 10,000 steps a day to be active. Three of us decided to make a contest out of it. The other two are skinny women and then there is me and my fat butt. I have worked my but off every day trying to beat them. Just the goal of trying to reach 10,000 steps a day has got me going. I have been walking and riding my bike like never before. It has really given me the motivation to diet also. Best of luck with your diet and give that pedometer a try. It has really helped me out a bunch.

Your home theater sounds sweet ... are you going to post pics. Congrats on the weight loss ... as someone who recently lost 35 lbs I know how tough it can be ... but trust me, when you get the weight off. It feels so good. Keep up the good work

That fairy tale brought a tear to my eye. If only life could be so simple.
