It's Monday!

It's Monday and I was up before 10. I loves my sleeping in, but I really do need to start getting up so it's not so hard when I do go back to work. It was hard having Dan leave. I mean on Thursday I slept the whole day, but on Friday he stayed home and was at my beck and call. Saturday and Sunday were the same, but today he wasn't there to get me fresh water or rub my back or anything. Bummer!

Plus I need a shower. I really should have taken it yesterday as.... well.... I STINK.  I'm supposed to wait 3 days to get my incision wet, and then I can shower and I have to wait 5 days before a bath.  But I was so weak yesterday that I just couldn't do it. However I have motivation today as I sprayed myself with some body splash until Dan can get home and help me in the shower.  Pear berry and BO. What a combo. LOL. I really hope no one plans on dropping by. I'll have to make them stand outside so I don't kill them.

We found a home for Blacky yesterday. I was really happy about this. He is such a sweet cat but he's disrupted our Clowder and we needed to get the Hierarchy back in order. Two Dominate Males is more than enough. Hahaha.  KSL is really an awesome place. I was pretty sure it would take forever to get both Angel and Blacky gone. I mean I couldn't imagine anyone wanting older cats. But sure enough. Stefanie is a genius. Bless her for helping us with this. I don't know that I would have done it myself.

This morning I have been playing Desktop Defender on Facebook. I have to admit I cheated and actually payed $15.00 for coins to upgrade my stuff. After I spent it, I hung my head in shame. Technically since I'm not working or going anywhere, I have it to spend. (buying lunch at $8 - $10 a pop saves alot when you aren't working).   But what a silly thing to spend it on. Then I got to thinking..... I would probably justify that amount if I was buying the game to play.... so now I'm OK with it.

I really should have saved that money though for Christmas. I have 28 people to buy for not including Dan. Plus I want to do something really cute for my co-workers. Something to say thanks for all their help. I've got 6 out of the 28 done. (whew). but there is still more to go. Lorie's parents are pretty easy. I always get them either Red Lobster or Texas Road House Gift Certs. Basically the Koford Grand Kids are done. Except for Jordan. I can't find a fire truck or construction trucks that are w/in my budget. So I will continue looking.  Destiny and Autumn are getting Pillow Pets. They are done. I average about $20.00 per person (except Koford Grand Kids, they are only $10.00 as we usually draw names for age groups. Since I don't have any kids, I really don't have to get them gifts so I keep it simple.)

I think I want a Kindle for Christmas. I have been checking them out, but we'll have to see. I'm trying to get Dan to throw me a bone and put together a list so I can pick stuff up now. I find it's easier to buy as I go rather then try to save and buy last minute. That's where I always over spend.

I've been trying to find a diet I can get behind. When Beth picked me up from the hospital on Wednesday, she looked really good.  She said she's lost about 25 pounds. I think that is fantastic. I'm seriously wondering if I can do it. I can't do the expense right now. $40.00 a month is just more than we really have to spare. But I need to find something. Brandy if you are reading this, be prepared. We are bringing lunch to work every day. We can't afford to eat out any more. Really.  You need your house money and I need my X-mas money. Just Think, if we can go 5 whole days w/out eating out, we will save an average of $40.00. That's two of my people off my X-mas list. 8D

I was looking up 1800 calorie ADA diets. I just need someone to plan my meals. If I have a goal meal planned and have all the ingredients in the house then Dan and I can get it together. It's the deciding and such that makes us eat out.  So if anyone has some suggestions for meal planners for the above diet, let me know.
