Last Night= Bliss

So, I didn't work out yesterday. *gasp*. We had respite care for the first time. A great young college student named Brittany came and engaged Tad for a few hours while Dan and I went out. It was great... and quiet! We went to the Dollar Tree, Target, Gamestop and Panda for a snack. Target is a watch vacuum- time gets sucked away. We had a good time of pointing out things we want to get Tad for Christmas, things we want for Christmas, things we think people will be killing themselves clawing over on Black Friday...

We realized when we were walking out of one store it was past our curfew! We called Brittany and told her we were on the way home. When we got there, she had been watching the Steelers game, so Dan instantly thinks she rocks, and she asked him if he wanted her to fill him in, or was he going to watch it from the beginning. Smart move. Very smart. I like her. She is funny and did great with Tad. After next week, she will come every Tuesday and Thursday night from 6:30-8:30 (or we can adjust the times) and sit with Tad while we go out together, or separately, or just stay home and clean the house. She can play with Tad while we do things around the house too. Great program. Another girl, once she finishes her training, will be available if we ever want to do something on Saturdays. That will be nice when it is time to Christmas shop. I usually have to do it all by myself and just show Dan what "he" bought someone. I will enjoy having him with me... I think.

I found out my sister, Bonnie, had a baby shower at the dentist office where she works last night. My mom said they went all out, and really went overboard on the gifts. My mom was sad she couldn't be there, but enjoyed getting the report from Bonnie. I found myself kindof sad that I couldn't be there too. It is hard with her up in Virginia. It has been such a struggle for her to make it to delivery with her babies. Alivia is staying put and we can't wait to meet her. The other babies are with mine waiting on us in heaven. We'll see them soon, but first, we'll spoil Alivia rotten. I found some shoes at Target last night I want to buy her, but it looks like she is going to have really big feet, so I'm not sure what size to buy.

So, back on the exercise front: I am going back to the gym after work today. I decided the sore muscles in the back of my neck and shoulder are from sleeping wrong, because this morning they are on fire, and when I woke up I was positioned funny on my arm. Maybe I'll check out that massage therapist at the gym! Never had a real massage.

Thanks to those who have sent the words of support. I enjoy blogging and spewing out my odd thoughts.

Here's hoping the nekkid old lady stays out of the locker room today. ewwwww
