I am the first one up and I think that this could quite possibly be my favorite part of the day. It’s quiet and clean and the day is full of possibilities…

I didn’t keep track of my food yesterday after lunch. I know, I am an idiot. I ate chips and salsa, too. But man, was it good! I didn’t really have dinner though, because I wasn’t hungry, so I think it balanced out. Either way, I am down a little this morning from yesterday morning. I am obnoxious in how much I weigh myself. Really. I probably do it 5 times a day. BUT, to keep me sane I only count my official weigh in on Wednesday’s at work. Wow, how’s that for alliteration.

Today I am going to get back to the basics and start with some meal planning, a trip to the commissary, and some good ole fashioned apron wearin! :) I need to get some cardio in sometime this morning, too, because we are taking the boys to see a movie this afternoon. They absolutely LOVE going to the theater, and Sundays on base they replay old movies that they have. Today is Wall-E, which we have already seen, but again… it’s the theater experience they are wanting. How fun! Oh, also we got a flier from the boys school about the theatre, as in the Nutcracker Ballet will be in San Diego ON my BIRTHDAY! It is one of my favorite ballets, and I was the sugar plum fairy in… um, I think 2nd grade, maybe 1st. Anyhow, the hubbs and the older two boys are taking me for my birthday. We’re going to get ALL dressed up and go to dinner first. How fun is that?! Come on December 19th!!! And, I have the PERFECT formal dress (yes, I realize there may be people there who are not dressed formal, and no, I do not care. If anyone gives me any shit about, I may whip out a tiara, so there!), BUT it is a little snug still, so how’s that for motivation?! I am so excited!

Oh, and I forgot to mention… my Aunt emailed me back!!! She asked for my number in the email, but hasn’t called yet. I was stressed when I wrote he back, saying “a good time to call? what is that?!” so hopefully she takes a chance and picks a time soon! I am so ready to have her back in my life!

Okay, that’s all I got. I’m going to try to have one of Sistah Pat’s “perfect days” today, so I’ll letcha know how it works out. :)
