11/4: wiped out at Panera bread November 4, 2009

I mean completely ate it.  There was some water on the floor and I thudded to the ground.  hahaha  Mortifying.  Even more mortifying was that like 3 employees came over to make sure I was okay (I am- just a bruised ego and probably a big old bruise on my knee as of tomorrow morning) and they offered me cookies so I wouldn’t sue.  Don’t even get me started on this nonsense- it was a freaking accident, but I know that a million people would be ready to cash the heck in.   So thank you to the lovely Panera people who helped me up and thank you to everyone else for giggling quietly and not in my face.  haha

10/31: Happy Halloween November 1, 2009

We went to a Chinese restaurant lounge with my sister and Tina.   It was really fun!

10/26 BONUS: went to a Monday party October 27, 2009

My friends Jess and Kevin had a neighborhood/friends party last night so we trekked over.  There were a ton of people there and we had a blast.  So fun!

 

10/4: the Big E October 6, 2009

If you live in MA, you probably know what this is.  If not, it is basically (exactly) a big fair.  I don’t understand the mass appeal- it was just like any other fair I’ve ever been to (sans the elephant at the Topsfield Fair.)  It was fun.  I was on a field trip with the Special Olympics (hooray for letting Special Olympics in free, boo to $13  chicken nugget meals.)  I had a bunch of kids from my class last year, who are just terrific, and a fantastic mom and sister of one of my previous students as my co-chaperones.  We had a blast.

We did not get these, but we did watch people who did- gross (a cheeseburger with bacon contained between two donuts.)

10/1: WW Pizza Pretzels October 2, 2009

Absolutely revolting.  One of the grossest things I have ever eaten.

PS- Happy Rocktober!  hahaha  Awful.

9/23: ate a blondie with M&Ms September 23, 2009

Thank you, Starbucks!  AND it was the corner!  I love corners and hate things that are round.  Hooray!

9/22 bonus: drank Fruit 2 Day September 22, 2009

Absolutely disgusting.  Now I like fruit, but I strongly believe that drinks should not be chunky.

7/14: ate light hot dogs July 14, 2009

It seems like this would be an oxymoron, but it is not.  I got the ones made of turkey and low fat beef.  They were surprisingly delicious (as most hotdogs are known to be.)

*Happy birthday, Bridget!*

7/4: happy fourth of July July 4, 2009

Today is my favorite holiday.  I love America and am pleased to celebrate with fireworks and a cookout.  We are so blessed to live in this country.  Many thanks to all who have served/are serving in the military.

7/1: put Oscar on a diet July 1, 2009

So Oscar (the long haired fluffy white one) has gained some weight recently.  When we first adopted him, he weighed 8 lbs. He currently weighs 13 lbs.  Clearly this is a problem.  We were free feeding him because it has been so long since I have had young pets that it didn’t occur to me to give him mealtimes.Barney just ate when he felt like it and he was always slim.

Clara (they gray one) has been able to free feed appropriately, but we have to switch both to the meal schedule because of logistics.  So they eat in the morning for 15 mins.  Then they eat again at night for 15 mins.  So far so good- they have caught on to the food being out for only a certain amount of time.

We want Oscar and Clara to live long and healthy lives so it is good to make the change now.  Although they live indoors, we play with them to give them exercise and they run around together.

*Happy 2nd birthday, Clara!*
