Quiet Week
109 Days.
I had a lovely Girls' Night Out last night. My friend Beth and I went to dinner and then we saw "Pan's Labyrinth." I didn't expect the movie to be subtitled. How that escaped my attention, I don't know. But it was very good. Not the kind of movie I would normally see, but I enjoyed it.
Other than that, it's been a quiet week around here. I took David to the ENT yesterday and for a CT scan. It's looking more and more like he's getting his tonsils out. I broke it to him yesterday while we were in the ENT's office. He sat patiently as the doctor and I discussed "tonsillectomy" and "anenoidectomy", blissfully ignorant of what all that meant. So when they left us alone for a minute, I said, "Buddy, the doctor thinks you might need to have your tonsils taken out."
No reaction.
Then I notice his face getting all red. Eventually his little lip quivers. So I hold my arms out and he comes over, hops in my lap, then bursts into tears.
"It's going to hurt!" he accurately observed. I tried to point out that he would get all the ice cream and popcicles he wants. I told him how jealous I was when my sister Susan got to have her tonsils out. Smart boy that he is, he was not consoled.
Let's see, other news: I'm using some of that "Natural Glow" moisturizer on my legs. It has some self-tanner in it that supposedly works gradually. So I've used it one time and I've got a tan. Gradual? Not exactly.
There was a big chemical explosion near my office yesterday. I could see the smoke plume from my house. If I had been working, I probably could have seen the fire itself. I always miss the downtown excitement.
KC remains in the deep freeze. What did we do to deserve this? What????
I've lost at least 12 pounds so far on my New Year's Diet, and still going strong. Go ME!
I bought one of those exercise ball thingees. I have no idea how to use it, but it's fun to roll around on. My husband wants to see a demo, but I don't think he's got strength training on his mind, if you know what I mean. I'm sure it'll be collecting dust soon enough. If I never use it, at least the kids can have a good time with it.

Oh, and the trial is in 109 days.

WOW 12 lbs. that's super ... you go girl!
does that lotion with a slight tanner work? ... even though I live in the sun I could always use a "little glow"!
12 lbs sweet and I am proud of you. That explosion was scary as hell. Glad you were home and did miss it!
ok, so how do I lose 12 lbs too? What do you do specifically to lose the weight? are you going to tell me that it takes willpower and I can't devour wine, cheese, and chocolate? that'll be a problem...hmmm. Still, inquiring minds want to know!
I'm impressed with your weight loss.
Poor David. That's gonna suck.
And the fire yesterday was impressive. I could swear it made my eyes and throat burn.
