I went down to Mom’s today (for the first time this year). On my way down, I took this picture. This is pretty much exactly where hubby found Stanley when the car in front of him started to go when the light changed. There was the itty bitty kitty sitting in the middle of the highway! As you can see, it’s a very busy intersection!

I had a good visit with Mom. Went out to East Side Mario’s for a salad, went downtown so I could buy 2 new pairs of crocs for work. I IKNOW crocs are as fugly as shoes can nearly humanly be, but they are comfortable, and with my bad knees and back, and the amount of craziness I have to do at work, they do the job. Plus! They can just be hosed off if I get paint, glue, or gawd forbid something worse on them! They will be my winter shoes. I’ll be in my flip flops until the snow gets too deep! Today it was rainy and blustery and cold! Mom was in her slacks, and long sleeved top, and a jacket. I was in capris and flip-flops, without a jacket. I was comfortable for the first time in 10 months, I don’t think a shed a drop of sweat!

Sarah and Miles were here for dinner when I arrived. We had pork kabobs, with brown rice and spinach salad. YUMMY! Sarah streaked my hair tonight too, so that I’m all ready to Go back to work tomorrow! Wahhhhhh! I bought the crocs, and that’s all I’m buying in “back to school clothes”. Normally I go fairly wild, but this year, since I’m dieting, I’m going to wait. So far, I’ve lost 7 pounds, so that’s a good thing! I don’t care if it’s all water, or what it is, as it’s still 7 less pounds for ME to carry around! Exercise has been a no-go for the past few days because of the fact that my head still feels like it’s got forks being jabbed into it continually!
