Day 98

Rate this Entry
Has it really been almost 100 days? Wow, that is crazy!

This weekend I've had a few cravings. It wasn't anything random, just when I was feeding DH and DS9. They had pizza and mozzarella sticks Friday night, then last night DS9 had nachos at his ball game. It all smelled SO good. I decided to make some spinach dip though and stuff some tomatoes with it. It was after dark and I normally don't eat then but I really wanted something.

I'm really irritated that my food processor seems to be on the fritz. I just got it for Christmas, used it a lot in the beginning but am only using sporadically now that I've gotten my BlendTec. I like the consistency of the spinach dip better in the food processor though but when I went to use it last night it just wouldn't come on. I went to the website and found that a lot of other people seemed to have the same problem with that model. Uggh. I have the Kenmore Elite.

So, today after church I think I'll come home and jump on the trampoline. I want to try out the little one (though I think I've already made up my mind that I want him to exchange it) but then I want to get out on the big one again too. I had SO much fun jumping outside.

Last night was DS9's first baseball game of the season. It was SO cold and windy out. I was FREEZING. The amazing thing though was that my dad and step-mom actually came to his game. He's been playing for 5 yrs. now and, while they live only 2 miles down the road from us, they haven't come to a single game until last night. I was disappointed in the way DS9 acted though. He just didn't seem thrilled that they were there and hardly said a word to them. He was cold, tired and hungry after the game; I know that, but he didn't really make any effort at all. I talked to him afterward and he said that he thought he was okay. I think I just thought he would be kind of over the top happy with them to make them want to come back again. Honestly, I can see why he'd be kind of ambivalent though, they just don't make an effort to be a part of his life and when they do, they're just not responsible people. :::shrugs:::

Wednesday I'm going on a field trip with DS's class. It's an hour away on a bumpy yellow school bus so I'll dry fast for most of that day. So not looking forward to it at all. I'm hoping I get to sit with Nick though, we just have SO much fun together. Then Thursday is a work day. My MIL is coming up to have lunch with DS9 and I at school. She'll take him home afterward and bring him back on Tuesday. At first I was miffed that he would miss Easter at home but then I figured, it's really no big deal. I've got a few Netflix lined up to get and watch for the weekend he'll be gone. Anyone have any good movie suggestions?

    Hi Tessa
    I love Lent, and the movies inspired by it. CHOCOLAT was very good, with Johnnie Depp. I love this movie called, "CORNDOG MAN". It's about a guy who did some dirty deeds under the influence of alcohol, and they come back to haunt him. Also, another good one is "THE CROSSING GUARD" with Jack Nicholson.

    Those are three of my favorites. I don't think any of them are very popular or ever won any awards.

    ((((Tessa)))) I will try to be here on Easter to say hello to you.

    My daughter takes my grandkids to her in laws every holiday, but EASTER is MINE. We are taking them out to church and a brunch. I see them all the time, but the inlaws live far away so I try not to cry over it.

    I can't believe either that it's 24 days for me.

    I may try a liquid day or two before my 30 days is over.
