Final Blog - Still More to Say

Hello All,

Let me start off by saying Happy Veterans Day!  I take pride everyday in the 20 years I served my country, but I am also truly grateful to those who put their lives on the line everyday to protect our country. 

I did not make it to the fair as planned.  The weather at the time we were able to go was unreliable.  Cold and cloudy one minute, warm and breezy the next.  I don't do cold well, so needless to say, I stayed in my nice warm house.  We have next year to look forward to.

Took my husband to have a procedure done on his back.  Shots, ugh!!!  Afterwards we went to eat at Chili's which was one of the many restaurants that provided free meals to veterans.  Per doctors orders, he needed to walk around and loosen up from the shots.  Where else but to the mall.  Decided to go watch window shopping at the mall.  Our 15th anniversary will be coming up later this month and the contemporary gift is a watch.  The traditional gift is crystal, but what would we do with crystal.  Watches it is.    Window shopping for watches went well.

We will be getting our house blessed this weekend.  We have never had this done so not sure what to expect.  Other than that, this will be a very ordinary weekend.  Will get stocking stuffers started for grand kids Christmas stockings.

This is my last blog, but I still have so much to say.  Will start to use the journal I have had for years, pages still empty.  I hope everyone has a great rest of the semester, a happy Thanksgiving and a merry Christmas!  May you all have a blessed 2012!

   

 

Busy Day!

Today started off with a little nudge from my hubby.  We had decided earlier in the week that we would get back to the gym on Saturdays.  Well, needless to say when this morning came around, I did not want to get up from under the warm covers into a not-so-warm room.  My husband kept reminding me that in the end, I will be happy that I went.  As usual he was right.  I'm not saying that I was not a happy camper all the way to the gym, but once I was done, I felt great!  I was expecting to do a fusion class, but to my surprise, zumba was on the schedule.  This was my second time doing zumba and it is wonderful and exhilarating.  I had exercised twice this week at home.  I walked/ran on the treadmill, so I am slowly but surely making progress.

After recuperating from our workouts, we went out and about to treat ourselves.  Initially there was a feeling of guilt, but we came to realize that we hardly treat ourselves.  We are usually saving, paying bills or helping out others.  We figured before we start Christmas shopping it wouldn't hurt to get a little something.

Once we could shop no more, we decided to go to one of our favorite restaurants for our date night dinner.  We have not been to this restaurant for a while, and was saddened to see that it closed.  Not sure if any of you have heard of "Hannah's".  The food was awesome.  We ended up going to one of our back ups, "Wings and Rice."  The food was great.  No Complaints here.

Putting date night on hold for the LSU game.  I figured if my hubby can have the patience that it takes to go shopping with me, I can have the patience to watch a football game.

I hope I didn't bore everyone with my day.  Have a blessed weekend!
