SS different week

Friday was family night at the baseball game. I was really not looking forward to that at all. My sister took my parents out to eat before the game and since Dennis doesn't get off work until later it gave us an excuse to be late. We got to the game about 45 minutes after it started and missed nothing. My sister talked my ear off the entire game. If I had wanted to watch the game I couldn't have - I think she is kind of lonely since her husband travels so much for work. Just when I thought I couldn't take anymore we hit a home run and the game was over. The last 15 minutes of the game was really good and I am glad we stayed. They had a huge fireworks display afterward but we left before they started. I hate fireworks, like have a serious it is going to fall and burn me and my house down fear. All the huge accidents where the fireworks fall over every year and kill people doesn't do a lot to ease my fears either. Anyway, my goal was to be safely in the car before the big booms started. Of course my Mom was all over me for not staying for the fireworks. She knows I am scared of them but I guess she just loves to find opportunities to pick at me for it, so not cool. The weather turned out to be perfect. It was chilly but sitting down in the stands with the body heat made it comfortable with a hoodie on. I would go back if for no other reason then the food. OMG I didn't realize there was so much food at a baseball game.

Saturday was supposed to be a run day but it was pouring. I ended up sleeping until 8:30, unheard of in my house. I got up and sat in the recliner. Foster and Sidney crawled up and snuggled and I fell back asleep until 10!! My kind of day! After I got up I went to have my nails done and do some grocery shopping, stopped and got lunch for Dennis and I and took it to him at work and ate with him. Nothing serious but I didn't get home until almost 4. The day just kind of flew by. I finally found a cardigan at Target that I love. It was way more then I had planned on spending but it is a basic black sweater and I can wear it with all my black short sleeve dresses and dress shirts, and I have a lot. Now I need to find a grey or taupe one.

So remember the nail lady I have been going to? The crazy conspiracy theory black helicopter UN government taking of the world radical give christians a bad name lady? Well I didn't stop going to her even though I think she is nuts, she does a good job and is cheaper than the asian salons. Honestly, she hasn't been bad and her daughter brings their puppy Lily with her to work on Saturday's and I get to play with the puppy, you know I am a sucker for that. However, when I was there Saturday she had her laptop pulled up to recent earthquakes and was telling me that Northern Turkey must be doing some nuclear testing because they were having a lot of earthquake activity. I told her that maybe they were just having earthquakes. Then she starts talking about how N. Korea has two "missing" subs that no American news organization has reported because they don't want us to know about it and if you really want to know what Obama is doing you have to look at overseas news. I told her that was probably true in some respects but what makes you think they are telling the truth in the news from other country's when most of the news organizations are ran by that countries government. Then she tells me she is homeschooling her kids, that I think may have sealed the deal on my bi-weekly trip to the nail salon. That is just a whole lot of crazy. She also made some comments that makes me think her husband is very controlling and possibly mean to the kids. Nothing really obvious, just that her two teenaged kids would rather be at the nail salon then at home and that the dad "makes" them come home. That and something about the way they talk about him. Just seems fishy. So bye-bye pretty nails, they were nice while they lasted.

Saturday night we watched the new series Bates Motel. I love that series!!! It is just the right amount of creepy. Dennis and I were cuddled up watching it and I kept having to wake myself up because I didn't want to miss any of it. Thank goodness for on demand. It is on tonight and I think they are playing all the episodes. This is one of those shows that you see something different every time you watch so we will probably either tape them all or try to watch all of them through. I love shows like that!! Hannibal is another we have started to watch. That one is just strange!!

Wow that was random

My older sister had sent me a text on Saturday night and asked me if I wanted to meet her for brunch on Sunday because they were moving into their new house and hadn't gone to the lake (we hate the lake). I told her sure, I wanted to see her new house and it is close enough that we could walk to the trendy part of town to eat. I think we ended up walking 3 miles or more. I would love to live in that part of town, a block from the river trail!!!

In the meantime I went to the consignment sale. I took $150 and had just enough for everything I found and brunch I can't remember what all I got but I know I bought some Joe's jeans, CoH jeans, a true religion jacket, a couple Lululemon tank tops, an Anthropology tank, a couple of cute summer flowy dresses that will require yet another cardigan if I wear it to work. There were some random slacks and shirts and a pair of shoes. I really think I got a lot for the money. I could have done a lot worse but I decided that I was going to stay under a budget and not go crazy like I did last time. Of course the coat I bought that put me over the edge last time was so worth it. There was a grey cardigan that I really wanted but it was still $85. I just couldn't do it. They donate the clothes that don't sell to DVIS. I need to find out where the thrift store is and go find that sweater, it was perfect.

So, on to brunch with my sister. We walked from her house, about a mile away. It was a nice day and it was good to get out and do some kind of activity. My sister is kind of out of control but nothing out of the ordinary. We ordered mimosas which come in a champagne flute and she downed that and got a 16 oz glass. She said that moving was just so stressful she just wanted to get drunk and pass out. That is her solution to everything. Then she said that her husband was at the lake and he was going to be drunk when he got home and it is just better to deal with him on his own level. I really don't know how people live like that.

Food was ok this weekend. I ate small portions and tried to keep it somewhat healthy. My problem was that I drank a lot of water this weekend and it is almost like I have to make a decision on eating or drinking but I can't do it both.

Today is already looking bad on the food front. They are doing interviews for our chiefs job so we have big wigs here. We are having lunch and a short meeting. We catered in BBQ and of course there are all kinds of horrible things that go with it. I have my eye on the no-bake cookies. Breakfast was the most amazing spinach artichoke bagel I have ever eaten. Okay it is the only spinach artichoke bagel I have had but it was so good. I could only eat half of it and I hope the other half is still around tomorrow.

Tomorrow I finally go in to the oral surgeon and have the real post put in for my implant. It is going to feel so strange!! I go to the dentist on Wednesday and I hope to finally have my lost baby tooth replaced!! It is going to feel so strange having a tooth there after 6 months. I had no clue it would take this long!!

OK, got to head to lunch with the bosses.
