Lazy Sunday

Yesterday, my best friend Katherine came and picked me up and we went shopping and got a milkshake at Steak and Shake. Mine was strawberry/banana yogurt. We went to Michael's and I bought a picture frame, some ribbon and an archival-quality pen to start with my new journal. I haven't written in a journal in a couple of years and it is good therapy. I bought some beautiful dresses at Walmart for my neices with matching hair bows. I got me some bobby pins for my hair. Everybody is wearing them and I had to have me some. I do love to make purchases. I enjoyed my day off from sitting with my grandpa. I found out about hulu.com where you can watch tv and movies online. I went bike riding this morning and plan to go see 2 lighthouses later this week. My grandpa should be discharged this week and I will go stay at his house until he can get settled in and around better. I have been working on the Christmas stockings I started for my neices and nephew 2 years ago. I have enjoyed working on that. I am having a good time. I shop at Publix often and I love it. I walk everyday and get plenty of exercise.

Well, I spent the day with my Grandpa at the rehabilitation center where he is recovering from surgery. We had a pleasant day. I went to church for the first time in almost 2 years. Wearing high heels was uncomfortable, but atleast I looked good! It was ward conference and the lunch was delicious. I took my laptop and introduced Grandma and Grandpa to Facebook. Neither one of them could see their picture on my page. We watched Legacy on my laptop. We took a stroll and saw a great blue heron. I ate most of Grandpa's dinner. We missed the spelling bee. We are trying diligently to get rid of Grandma's toenail fungus and Grandpa's gout. I am going to walk in the morining with my Grandma. I have my sewing bag and will work on the Christmas stockings for my nehpew and neices that I bought almost two years ago. I have my personal trainer course I ordered and will finally have time to study for that. I have watched 3 episodes of The Guardian tonight and am on my fourth. I never watch TV. I am looking forward to spending time with my grandparents. They are gettin old and I am glad to help them. I can't figure out why my Grandpa's roommate sits with a blanket over his head all day. We are getting a private room tomorrow. I want to post some pictures and nice things on my blog and make it look nice. I have got to get some help to figure out how to do this.

First of the Super Stories

I am new to this, so I guess I'll figure it out along the way. I just saw Cheryl Geiger's blog and it motivated me to get started. Yesterday, I went and got a root canal. Aside from costing me over $500, it wasn't that bad. Not a lot of pain- the worst part was the numbing of my mouth. It feels so weird and uncomfortable, but it wore off after a couple of hours. Now I can't even tell anything has been done to the tooth. I went to Wal-mart and bought lots of new clothes that were on clearance. So I have some comfortable new things to wear that look nice. I love the Danskin line and the Faded Glory section and I got a few Just My Size shirts. (yes I am still fat, but doing good on my diet, so maybe not for much longer!) I picked up my antibiotic that I have to take until my abscess heals. I bought some pink tulips for the twins for Valentine's Day. I went for a nice walk last night and enjoyed the cool air and the stars that were so bright in the clear sky. I bought a new journal from Deseret book and I am waiting to get my archival-save pen to start that. I haven't kept a journal regularly and I want to get back to that because I used to enjoy it so much. I want to learn more about this blogspot thing because I know I will love it if I can figure it out. I visited with my neices this week. I went to see them Sunday and they came to see me Wednesday. Before I left their house on Sunday, they wanted to make sure I would come back and see them. I am having a big pedicure party at my house tonight. I have so much product and love having people over and making their feet pretty. We will have a good time.
