Good morning gals. Boy, I am tired of Fortune's antics so I am going to start picking up his food and water around 3 pm and try and get him on a schedule so he doesn't need to go out at night. I have been noticing he is drinking a lot and eating around 4 pm so no wonder he wants to go out in the middle of the night.
I finished a project. I am being mysterious because it is for a friend who lurks here and doesn't post so I don't want them to know what I made them. As soon as I give it to them, I will post a pic. It turned out really well I think, but I am glad I am done with it and can go on to more stuff.
I am getting the pillow forms and yarn today for the wedding present as well as get my hair cut, get color for it and get some lunch. We are going out to eat, but I have it figured into my points so no problem there.
I got my book club stuff and thought this cookbook looked interesting. It got 5 out of 6 stars from the readers. All said the recipes tasted great.
Susan: Glad you got your install done. I look like a science experiment gone wrong. I have an incision from navel to you know where and on the left side a big puckered scar from where the ostomy bag was. On top of that, he took part of the staples out early to let it drain and so I have a deep crevice about halfway down on the scar when it caved in and heeled. Ahh well, a good swimsuit will cover it anyway. I think I just have to make sure I don't lose too much weight because I need to take into account the skin will weigh about 10-15 lbs probably so need to keep my weight including that. I want to be at about 145-150 so I think 160 would be a good goal weight for me. I am not short, 5'7" and am a big boned gal anyway so I can carry more weight.
Thomas is going to meet Jay and Alicia and Jackson in Washington DC soon, not sure of exactly when they are going. I know he has to be excited about riding on an airplane by himself and then touring the nation's capital. I think they are still going to China in July so he will have a busy busy summer vacation. He has scouting activities all summer too and usually has a piano recital but they may not have one until fall this year. His mom called me yesterday and asked me his birthday budget and I told her. She said everything he wants is expensive. I told her no surprise he is growing up. So it looks like we are going to buy him a Nintentdo DSI for his birthday. He has a DS and another handheld game system along with Wii, Playstation and something else at home. He is the video king, but considering he gets straight A's in school it is obviously never a problem. Besides, his parents make sure the schoolwork and instrument practicing are done first.
I bought Jackson the cutest electric riding toy. It is like a little atv and the "hood" opens up and he can put stuff in it besides he has a cup drink holder. The nice thing is no brakes etc to deal with. He pushes a button to go and releases it and it stops. He will drive his parents mad running around the back yard. He has a push style car that he loves so I am just upgrading him to a newer model. I just wish everyone's birthday's and anniversaries weren't over the next two months. I have Thomas, Jackson, Alicia, Tom and Tom and Kelly's anniversary between now and August and then my sister's anniversary is August 4. She may just get a card this year.
Well, I need to go shower and get dressed. I have had my banana nut cheerios and need to get out and about soon. Have a wonderful weekend all. We have commissary tomorrow...UGH!
