I have been really cutting back on my food portions and trying to eat a lot healthier. I am also increasing my amount of exercise and I am already seeing results. I have been feeling pretty good about it. Until this afternoon. I feel like I am starving. To make it even worse my boss and a few of the guys are in the office right now eating McDonald’s. One even has a sundae. I am so jealous!

I was up way too late watching TV shows off of my DVR last night. I think I fell asleep some where around 2:00am. Then my sweet little granddaughter Rebecca woke me up at 6:00am ! It’s so not like her to wake up that early. She is a real sleeper and usually sleeps in at least till 8 or 9:00am. That is why SHE is back to sleep already and I am sitting here with Allison sipping my Diet Coke and pushing myself in to the shower. I have to drive Rebecca home by noon and then this afternoon Allison and I have plans with my sister and nephew to check out a Webkinz Extravaganza party at our local Hallmark shop. I swear these Webkinz are like crack! Allison is so excited she is beside her self with anticipation.

I LOVE to shop online! I have been spending a lot of time “dream” shopping lately. There is some thing really fun and relaxing to me about being able to shop a dozen or more stores yet never leaving my desk. It’s kind of stress reliving for me. I started by updating my wish list the first of the month, because you all know it’s my birthday next week. Ya that’s right, 38 only two more of those bad boys and I am the big 4 0 ! Yesterday when things were quiet here at work I spent far too much time picking out and falling in love with a new dinning room set and living room furniture for our house that we so can not afford right now. I am such the dreamer.

I was up first with my husbands alarm and then up with mine. Both times walking around the room trying to decided if I feel any better. I finally called off for the day and went back to bed. I slept until almost 10:00am. That is so not like me. I am not a sleeper. Now that I am up and showered I think I am feeling a little better. My head and all of my joints still ache pretty bad but I just ate and kept it down for the first time in over 24 hours. So, I think thats a good sign. I sure hope I am on my way back to normal because it’s pissing me off. The weather is beautiful outside again today and I am trapped here on the couch.

I woke up this morning with a bad head ache then with in an hour I was throwing up. I hate to throw up ! I am one of those people who will do any thing to NOT do it and wine like a little baby about it. It’s just about 5:30pm and this is my first attempt to focus my eyes and get down a few saltines.
This was not the Sunday I had in mind. We even had dinner plans I had to cancel with my parents who just returned from three months in Florida. I am so not happy about being sick.

There was some shaking going on in my bedroom this morning! And my husband was still at work so it wasn’t any thing fun.. he he he. It was a freaking earth quake! It was the strangest thing.
Just after 4:30 am some thing woke me and I felt my bed shake. It was kind of like a small vibration coming from under my bed. Being asleep I thought it was Roxy, even though she sleeps down stairs. I started to fall back asleep and it happened again. I got up looked around and went to the bathroom. Must have been a dream. Or a really big truck going down our street or some thing? Not even 5:00am yet I laid back down for a while. When I got up for the day I forgot all about it until I heard on the radio that around 4:30 am we had a small earth quake rattle us here in Michigan. Freaky !  We don’t have earth quakes around here. It’s been some thing like 20 years. 

Well, I came home from work and signed the tax papers, the checks and stuffed the envelopes, stood in line at the post office and handed them over.
Now, as I lay here in bed all I can think of is how fast I stuffed them. OH GOD DID I ADDRESS THEM RIGHT?  I HOPE I DIDN’T MIX UP THE ENVELOPES?
Okay, I am just being crazy and stressing myself out for no reason and if I did stuff them wrong, it’s too late now anyway.

It’s been a pretty nice weekend so far.

I had the best visit with Rebecca Friday night and Saturday morning. She is such a happy and sweet baby, just a joy to be around. I even had the chance to dress her up all pretty for a party before she left. Of course I took way too may pictures and posted them on my Flickr page.

Yesterday I saw my husband for more then ten minutes for the first time all week. I am so not a fan of him working 6:00pm to 6:00am ! I’ll be glad when he’s back on days but not as glad as he will be I am sure. Poor guy looks so tired.

Today I plan to finish up all of our laundry and do some house work. Exciting I know but our bedroom is in serious need of some cleaning. It’s been way too easy to just close the door and forget about it lately.

I am going to try and fit in some movie watching this afternoon. I have this one on my DVR from last night.  If I do, I’ll be posting about it here.
