My Saturday

I am feeling a little better today.  My voice is slowly starting to come back.  I hopped out of bed today and immediately stripped down to my skin…Saturday morning is my weekly weigh-in.  I like to weigh on Saturday morning because my eating habits are usually good during the week, not so good on the weekend.  When I was on my diet I used to weigh-in on Monday morning because it didn’t matter…I was dieting all week long then.  This morning was a very woo-hoo, dance a little jig weigh-in.  I have lost a total of 28 1/2 lbs since July.  It actually looks like I might make it to 30 lbs.  The previous week I had gained 1 1/2 pounds.  Very bad eating that week.  I had a very large cherry shake one night…YUMMY though.  Sometimes I just have to splurge.

I proceeded to do my little jig, then I jumped in the shower.  After my shower it was breakfast and then I washed the dishes from the night before.  We have a dishwasher, but the door won’t open and I haven’t gotten the repairman in to look at it yet.  So I have to wash dishes the old fashioned way.  Bogey showered and then we were on our way.

Our first stop was the Vet’s office to give him a little more of our paycheck.  We figured we weren’t sharing enough of it with him, so we bought some new prescription dog food for our little Charlotte.  The Vet says it should help her avoid so many urinary tract infections.  Keep your fingers crossed.  We also bought the dogs heart worm pills.

Then we proceeded to 7-Eleven for our Saturday morning Big-Gulps, actually Super Big Gulps, but whose counting.  We hopped back in the car and went to a used book store in town.  They have a resident cat and the owner’s wife also came in while we were there with their dog.  A very large dog.  I am not sure what the breed is.

We didn’t get enough of books at the used store, so our next stop was Borders.  I didn’t look around much, I bought one of Sue Grafton’s novels…T is for Trespass, a large coffee and a caramel and sat down to read.  We spent about 45 minutes at Borders and then went to lunch at Applebee’s.

After Applebee’s we stopped at a local tea shop where Bogey buys his tea.  I don’t drink regular tea, just herbal once in a while, so I rarely go in the shop.  I wanted to buy a house warming gift for friends of ours and she drinks quite a bit of tea, so a tea shop seemed like a good place to look for a gift.  We bought a copper tea canister along with some tea to put inside.

We then headed for home.  We got home around 2:15.  I want to spend some quality time with the puppies and then I am off to get a massage and Bogey will come along to work out.  The massage is at the athletic center on the campus where I work.  The massage is actually one of three I get for a class I am taking at the University.  The class is three one-hour massages.  Can you believe it.  That’s it.

After the massage it’s home to the puppies and then this evening we are going out to dinner with some friends to an Ethiopian restaurant in town.

A very good Saturday all around.
