Last day of freedom

So how does one spend their last day of freedom before returning to work…

4:30 am woken up by storm (That was not how I pictured starting my day)

6:30 finally fall back asleep

8:30 wake-up for good/do my back exercises (my rehab doc would be proud!)

9:00 eat breakfast/watch Bringing Home Baby on TLC (The couple was bring home triplets!)

9:30 go for a walk before it gets to hot

10:45 return from walk and shower

11:30 go to TJ Maxx/Target (Man, decorative pillows are expensive! No purchases were made.)

12:30 Contemplate stopping for ice cream but decide against it and go home.

12:45 Lunch

2:00 Dentist

3:00 rehab

4:00 watch T.V. (nothing special)

5:00 make dinner (Spicy noodles with broccoli)

5:30 watch Nathan eat dinner; my mouth was still numb from the dentist

6:00 check email and blog about day

I suspect I will just putz around for the rest of the evening. I wished I had napped. Going to the dentist was a drag, but other than that I am pretty happy with my day.

Fruit Of The Loom

You know those annoying Fruit Of The Loom commercials? Well I have always wondered what the fourth guy in commercials were. It is obvious that one guy is dressed like an apple and you also have two different colors of grapes. The fourth guy however is sometimes green but usually a brownish color on the commercials. So what is he? After debating this with my husband, I went to the website and found out he is a leaf. That explains the two color variations but not really why he is in the Fruit Of The Loom commercials. A leaf is not a fruit. At least now when those annoying commercials come on I will no longer be asking myself what the fourth guy is supposed to be.

Strange Dream

This dream is so weird, it’s one for the record books. Garth Brooks started teaching at my school. I was talking with him and mentioned I was super busy and I could not get to the dry cleaners and pick up my wedding dress. (I have no idea why it was at the cleaners, it has been in my closet for three years.) The next day he tells me he picked it up for me but it is at his house. So I go with him after school to get it and we are talking and enjoying one another’s company. Once we get to his house he tried to kiss me and asks me out to dinner! I excuse myself to the bathroom, call Nathan and let him know where I am at, but I do not mention the mess I am in the middle of. I go back out into the main room and remind him I am married but if he would like to go to dinner as friends that would be fine. Then I see there are a million Christmas decorations up and the door bells starts ringing like crazy. The first people through the door are Nathan and my parents. I am relieved to see them although I feel silly and just want to leave. So, we grab my wedding dress and turn to leave but tons of Garth Brook’s family is in the room now and they are all singing me happy birthday. After that a ton of his aunts surround me and starting asking me to sign Christmas cards, which I do not want to do but I do anyway. Then all of a sudden I realize by signing their cards I am RSVPing yes to their holiday parties and I get very nervous and upset because I do not want to go. Also, while all this is going on one of the aunts tries to pull on the sweater I am wearing so I show more cleavage. She tells me I am young and I need too show more. I look over at Nathan overwhelmed and then I wake up. Have you ever heard of such a crazy dream? I am not even really a Garth Brooks fan. Why is he in my dream?!?! This is not the first weird dream I have had but I just felt like sharing.

crab rangoon

I had one of my favorite foods in the whole world for lunch today: Crab Rangoon. Normally they are an appetizer you share, but I ate a whole order by myself. Unfortunately I soon started to pay for eating that much greasy food at once. Over a year ago I started cutting way back on anything fried because of my liver. No big deal, I just have to eat healthy. Anyways every so often I will try and eat like I use to. My body has taken to reminding me just how terrible of an idea that is. So after my lunch time indulgence I was struck with a terrible tummy ache. The really sad part is I will probaby do this again to myself in three or four months after I have forgotten about this afternoon's troubles.
