A Birthday

So yesterday was Sis2's birthday. I took the day off work to spend it with her as has become the tradition. I do this because A) she's my best friend and B) if I didn't make a big deal out of her big day ON her big day, no one would. Goofus is kinda slack in the whole "making a girl feel special" area.



We started the day off at Chick-fil-A for breakfast. She had to have her driver's license renewed and wanted to do it early so we ate breakfast and Efan and I played in the play area while she went and got her license taken care of.

He's such a fun kid with a big imagination.



The rest of the morning we sort of vegged at the house until lunch. We did do "school" pics. It was picture day at Lyssa's school so we had to do them with the boy, too. His are probably way more silly than Lyssa's. 



Then it was off to lunch with the parental unit. We met at a local deli type place that has amazing bread and the best sammies. 





As luck would wave it, I had a doctor's  after lunch where I got not so happy news. *sigh* I'll just let my twitter feed tell that story. 


Yeah. So a bit of a wake up call. I stopped at the shoe outlet place after I picked up my prescription and got some new walking shoes. Because walking during break is going to happen whether my friends like it or not. I'm just going to hafta suck it up and be tough. 

Also must learn to say no when they want to go out lunch. No giving in and going when I know I shouldn't. My life depends on it. Not depressed about that at all. :/

So. Happy birthday to Sis2! :-) I hope I'm still around next year to celebrate!

Glad your sister had a good birthday, but sorry to hear your health news. You need to say NO to the junk food and take care of yourself! (((hugs)))

I've walked two days this week and have let my friends know that regular lunches out are no longer an option for me. Lots of green things in my fridge and I'm cutting out regular Coke and coffee drinking. I even bought almond milk to have with my Cheerios. So I'm making an effort to find a healthier lifestyle. Praying it sticks.

I'm Lost

Boy.  Last night was the most intense 2.5 hours of my LIFE. Well, the part of my life that I relegate to television viewing, anyway. Last night, as you may have heard, was THE END for LOST. If you haven't been watching it for the past six years, what were you doing with your life? LOL No, I know. It was one of those things you were either fully emersed in or you didn't want to expend the energy it took to follow it. Because it did take a lot of energy to follow it. And as much as I was held captivated by it, I am really too stupid to really full grasp it. No, seriously. I've read the discussion boards. I've followed other blogs about it. And I'd always be like, "Why didn't I catch that?" or "I completly missed that." My brain is merely too simple to comprehend all the little mysteries and tie-ins and connections that were hidden throughout six seasons of this show. It was no different last night. Honestly, the finale was gripping an...

Me and the boob tube

Ever met someone who is passionate about her TV shows? Well, if not, you have now. Yeah, I'm probably fairly sad with how involved I become with some shows but believe me...I know some folks who are a LOT worse than me. Just trust me on this. I have maybe a handful of shows that I watch without fail whenever they're on and set my VCR to tape if I'm out. (Yeah, I still have a VCR...and I will until they no longer make 'em) Monday night is Medium night. Tuesday night is BB6 in the summer Charmed on TNT in fall. Wednesday is Lost and Alias (in regular season anyway) Thursday night is BB6 in summer and Will and Grace in fall. Friday night sucks since they cancelled Joan of Arcadia. Saturday night is BB6 in summer and Trading Spaces. Sunday night is Desperate Housewives and The 4400 in summer. Everyday things are Gilmore Girls on ABC Family, 30 Minute Meals on Food Network and Bold and the Beautiful. Last night, of course, was BB6. Now, I'm not one to enjoy many reality ...

Ten Things That Make Me Happy Today

Image
1.) Chuck . Chuck makes me very happy. I'm still flying high from the time I spent with him last night. Seriously, it's like the second Zachary Levi walks on screen and gives that trademark smile my heart goes all gooey in my chest and my lips curve up all dreamy smile-ish and for that one hour each Monday night I'm on cloud nine. Pitiful, no? 2.) Her. 'Nuff said. 3.) My friends. All of 'em. Ms. B who I only get to see once a month and chat on the phone every few weeks. E who talks me into field trips to Starbucks so that we can blame each other for being bad. Trix who hated the way Medium ended, too. (And always sends me the awesomest handmade cards.) BFF who calls once a month to update me on the ever shifting drama of her life. (She's doing much better, by the way. Goes back to work next week.) Jen who  once--in a round about way--compared me to the awesome Pioneer Woman. (And who's love story to her fireman still gives me hope that true love real...
