Weekend

I've had a busy weekend, yesterday started with some house cleaning, then I left to go to the shower, home for some more cleaning, then off to meet Chris's parents for a Mother's Day dinner for his Mom.

Today, it's been laundry and some relaxing. We went and had a quick meal at the Chinese buffet here in town.

Just a few more hours before bed and starting the work week.

Baby shower

Yesterday, I went to a baby shower for Chris's cousin's wife. This was they cake they served, it was done by Chris's aunt, and it was wonderful! All of the food was great. It was easily the nicest baby shower I've ever been too. Company was great. She received many nice gifts. She's due June 10th, so soon, there'll be a new member in Chris's family.

Tinkering

Chris has been tinkering with the carburerator on his motorcycle since he got home from work. I got a lesson on carburerators.

I cooked burritos for supper, it was one of those "I hope we have something in the freezer" nights.

He came in long enough to eat, and now is taking a test drive.

May May

Today, lots of people are celebrating Cinco de Mayo, and I was treated to a Mexican meal at lunch. But today, my thoughts keep circling back to my grandmother, who we called May May. Today would have been her 85th birthday.

I miss May May.

$5600!!!

Well, the A/C unit is going to cost $5600!! It's a bigger, better, more efficient unit than we had priced at first. I'm still reeling from the sticker shock. It has a 10 year warranty, and there's a $1500 tax rebate because it is a 15 SEER unit. Thank goodness Chris did all of the research on it, and thank goodness for signature loans.

Milestone

Today I reached a small milestone. One week without Coca-Cola.

I'm tired of getting dehydrated and needing IV's, and I know I don't drink enough during the day. I tended to drink one Coke at lunch, and one at supper and maybe a little other fluid during the day, but usually not much. So, I decided that I needed to do something.

I bought some juice, (cranapple, etc), and I have made an effort to drink more at work. So, I'm drinking juice now, and I'm actually doing better. I've done better than I thought I would with giving up the Coke.

I finally understand...

As Mother's Day approaches, you naturally think about your mother. My Mother isn't a fan of Mother's Day, her philosophy is that you should love your mother every day, not just one day of the year because someone decided they could make money on a holiday.

Well, I do love my mother every day of the year. I was blessed with the best mother ever.

So, you're probably wondering about the photo of the shoes. Growing up, my mother would wear what I thought were ugly shoes. She'd say, "but they're comfortable". Well, as you can tell by the photo, I finally understand. You can convince yourself that ugly shoes are cute shoes because "they are so comfortable." How do you like my new cute shoes?
