1. Husband watched Carolyn on Saturday so I could go to Harry Potter with Shannon, Marshall, and their friend, Nichole. It was weird to be at a movie with someone other than Husband - no hand to hold, and no popcorn to steal (because as he'll tell you, I never want popcorn until he has some). Either way, I really enjoyed the movie. I mean, other than the fact that some of the camera effects made me dizzy, reminding me that I'm getting old. And, I really, really missed Hogwarts. Oh, and I'm pretty sure I grabbed Shannon when the snake came out of the old woman. I'm sure Shannon enjoyed it.
2. I had a friend ask for a massage this weekend. It was almost like Christmas for me. I pulled out my table, sheets, heating pad, and best lotion. I love the feeling of knotted muscles under my fingers. It always amazes me how the body protects itself, how the body works. I'm the Stevie Wonder of massages, I like to close my eyes and feel how the muscles (especially those in the upper back and neck) come together. I know that all sounds really creepy, but I promise it's not. At least I don't think it is. Is it?? Crap.
3. It never ceases to amaze me how long some people will wait for a parking space. At the grocery store on Saturday, I had an entire cart of groceries to unload when a car stopped right behind me to wait. I swear, it must have taken me ten minutes to get everything in the trunk and the cart back to the cart rack. They waited the entire time, honking when I made the move to take the cart back. Seriously?? In that amount of time, they could have been half-way done with their shopping.
4. Husband made bacon wrapped shrimp and dirty rice for dinner last night. It was gorgeous.
5. I had the most luscious dream this weekend - me with a flat, non-stretch marked tummy. I was quite upset when I woke up and it wasn't true.
6. The Tummy Toucher told me the other day that if you have an account at a certain credit union, they are giving out $1,000 loans, no questions asked. When I asked it what the interest rate is and when she has to pay it back, she had no idea. And people wonder why there are so many defaulted loans and why America's in a financial crisis.
7. We didn't go to church yesterday. I woke up smack-dab in the middle of another panic attack regarding putting Carolyn in daycare. Chest pain, stomach cramps, etc. I need some peace of mind or else I'm going to go nuts.
8. And speaking of daycare, I went to visit another daycare center on Friday night. It made the first daycare look like a luxury hotel. This one looks like an insane asylum.
9. We bought our turkey on Saturday. It's thawing in the fridge. Husband looked up the recipe last night. Ugh. I can hardly wait. That turkey is the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet.
10. Carolyn will meet her Grandpa for the first time this week. He's so lucky to get to meet her now - she's really getting to be so much fun.

Let's just say you can massage my back anytime. It started hurting again Saturday evening.. but it's starting to feel better. How often should people with "messed up" backs get a massage? Just wondering.
Too bad we don't live closer. You could have Christmas every week!
Kari, I'd say once a week at first. Of course, you have to do some work, too. Like stretching...which I forgot to show you. I know. I'm totally a fountain of knowledge.
okay. You'll have to show me how to stretch. I'll do whatever it takes to get these knots out!!!! Then I'll just keep coming back for the actual relaxation factor. haha.
Erin, sweetie, have you thought about doing massage therapy from home? My husband and I added up all the $$ we spend on medical expenses (a family of seven normal check ups, plus shots, and the needs of two asthmatics) and decided to pay CASH instead of insurance because we would save money. I don't know your family's medical needs, so this is only a suggestion, but we live in a time where we are taught to be afraid so insurance and government can have more $$. Where fear and doubt, are faith is not... Keep your heart open to the possibilities.
You can give me a massage ANY TIME!!!!!!!! Oh my heck, my knots are the size of bowling balls! I blame it on my monstrous boobies, and the fact that my backpack weighs as much as 23 bowling balls. Calvin and I are going to start hanging out with you guys. That may not sound that exciting, but he's a wealth of funny movie quotes, and my back is a wealth of massaging needs. Win-win? Yes. And since I'm related to Shannon, you can just close your eyes and pretend I'm her. It'll be just like hanging out with Shannon and Marshall, I promise.
Kind of.
