This and That

March already! The good thing about that is we are one month closer to spring!

The weekend is over and once again I did not even get close to getting done what I had on my list. Oh well it is not going anywhere, no little elves are waiting under my bed to work their magic while I sleep, but I think they make messes instead.

Lora, the little brat, left for Hawaii last Monday. She called a couple of times and she and her friends are having a great time. Yesterday the girls went on a shark adventure. They went into the sea in cages with sharks swimming all around them. She said it was amazing. What I thought was funny is that not one the guys had the guts to go. Truth be told she amazes me with her sense of adventure. When she does find the right man and settle down she will truly be ready.

Monday was also I little hard for me. It would have been our 30th Anniversary, but I made it through it and I am still alive. Last year at this time I had begun my journey into a very dark and difficult place and it feels like I have moved mountains since then. That and gained about 20lbs.

The rest of the week went fast and I had the day off on Friday because I had two doctors appt so I just took a vacation day, it just made more sense. Went to have my reading eye checked out in the morning. Having the lasik surgery on my eyes is one of the best investments I have made and I am soooooooo glad I had it done and by the best in the country no less! I have 20/20 in my reading eye and 20/20 in my distance eye and together they work really well. Just wish I could thread a needle and read the back of a pill bottle but that is just another part of middle age! It is just frustrating.

I did do something really stupid on Monday night. I had quite a few things I wanted to get done so when I got home from work I drank a Red Bull. BIG MISTAKE! HUGE! I can drink cups of coffee at 10:00 at night and it does not keep me up but no Red Bull for me at 4pm. I watched about 6 episodes of Jon and Kate Plus 8 and still no sleep would come. I think I finally fell asleep about 3am and my alarm went off at 5am. Never again!!

Tomorrow I have to get my rear in gear. Shelby and I are leaving for Texas on Wed afternoon so I really only have tomorrow to get my house in order, laundry done, bills paid and packing done. Group on Tues night so won't really have much time for anything that night. I am really looking forward to getting out of town and warmer weather. I hope it is sunny and 65 the whole time we are there!

Got my shopping sort of done today. I bought new tennis shoes, that was way past due. I think the pair I have been wearing were 10 years old! I also bought a new digital camera. I have a nice Cannon but it is a little bigger. This new one is much smaller,easier to take along. I also bought red sweater for 5.99. Sheby's daughter is in Dakota Spirit and they have two days of competition in Fort Worth. Their colors are red, white and blue so to avoid sticking out like a sore thumb with the group of parents I need to blend in. This is serious competition. Shelby said she heard they are really serious down there. I told her that is what I would expect since we will be in the heart of serious cheerleader and pageant moms. It should be fun and we will be there early and are not leaving until Monday so we are planning on getting a few things in that have nothing to do with cheer.

Well it is getting late and my 20/20 eyes are getting plenty heavy so I will go for now. I have got to get my bed moved to the outside wall! Whoever lives in the apartment behind me snores so bad! I usually try to beat him to sleep but that doesn't happen too often!
