feeling sorry for myself again

and today is one of them. *ok now i feel better. i cried, took a shower. all is good!*

what's up friday?

1. kaylee and i playing around with iphoto. she was trying to cover up my face but i ended up getting her instead.

2. ears, nose, throat doctor went well. told me i have some swelling and polyps and he gave me some antibiotics and nose spray which could help some.

3. yesterday i decided that i am going to lose between 8-10 pounds before my day of birth. its about 2lbs a week. i think i can... i think i can...

4. mike and kaylee are off to her field trip to cici's pizzeria.

5. ham is thinking about going out for golf club at his school.

6. from my girls weekend, i bought some mac makeup and really love them! they actually stay on my very oily face especially my eye shadows and eyeliner. no smudges!

7. decided to get mike home beer making stuff so he can brew his own beer for his birthday present. he's going shopping for the stuff today.

8. tomorrow night we are going to hani yori's for their birthday dinner. we go every year for the past 9 years. i introduced his family to the place. {their being mike and his mom and its a japanese teppan place where they cook the food right in front of you}

9. i'm working on the motivation to trim + sew/bond my curtains from ikea. i've had them for at least a month now.

10. it looks like eeni, meeny, miney + moe are back swimming in our pond again. {baby ducks from last year except they are fully grown now. i think its them from their blue feathers. will need to investigate}

wishing

1. taken when we had a 2 hour delay last week (?)

2. kaylee did awesome at her dentist appointment and said it was fun. we definitely need to brush her teeth better though.

3. i had a 10oz garbage burger, 1 krispy kreme donut and half of a footlong sandwich yesterday. i was in a food coma by bedtime. {i ate the whole burger!}

4. i wish my bills could be paid by the year and the same with stocking up on cleaning supplies, toilet paper etc... all done by the year.

5. i still feel enlightened after my girls weekend though its causing some conflicts in my brain.

6. i cry because this should be me! {dream job living in dream location}

7. i have an ears, nose, throat appointment tomorrow. fingers crossed they find something or nothing and that it is my diet causing all my problems.

toledo zoo

saturday when mike failed me and came home empty handed from running in the morning he decided to make up for it by taking us on a road trip. {he was suppose to have come home with some chocolate croissants} if you check out the toledo zoo website you can print out a coupon for 50% off. i think its good till march 19th? the drive was a quick 2 hours. {we quickly packed snacks and video game for kaylee}

it was pretty chilly so we didn't get to see all the animals or all the sites but it was

still neat. we got to see the seals swim by.

and mr. polar bear be all cute. later he started playing in the water with his barrel. they even had a train ride and merry go round for the kids.

we even got to see the penguins, cheetahs and a very large hippo. we chose not to check out the reptile building. we are not fans of snakes.

the zoo was larger than we though and it was very well done. they had play areas for the kids, a theatre area and an aquarium besides many places to eat. we would love to go back once the weathers warmer to see the animals outside and with all its pretty trees and greenery. it reminded me of a cedar point but without the rides.

after a few hours at the zoo we decided to eat an early dinner at pf changs. it turned out to be a regular dinner since we got lost and there was an hour wait. we went shopping while waiting. the place was called the shops at fallen timbers. it was a beautiful shopping plaza and i wish i had gotten some pictures. they had a pond with a sitting area and most of the shops where outside. we would of stayed the night but we have a certain teenage boy who we do not feel comfortable leaving home by himself over night. we ended up getting home by 9:30 so the old man still got plenty of rest.

addicted

1. hello. my name is kristi and i am a pf changs addict.

2. this was taken saturday. the people around us got a kick seeing kaylee with this gigantor piece of chocolate cake. and i have to be "r" rated here but it was the most delicious, almost orgasmic, most decadent, choc-o-riffic cake i have ever had and worth every penny.

3. we did a spur of the moment road trip to the toledo zoo on saturday. more on the zoo later but must say it was awesome!

4. this week is a busy one for me, besides my regular schedule kaylee and i have a dentist appointment on tuesday and i have an ears,nose, throat appointment on thursday. friday is kaylee's field trip but i'm hoping to get mike to go instead.

5. i think all retailers on-line should offer free shipping no matter what when your order is over $100.

6. the warmer weather is making me happy yet feeling more cabin feverish. still not warm enough for me to go and hang outside.

7. book 3 out of 4 is finished. today i go and get the 4th twilight book.

8. found an old college acquaintance on facebook. it was great to see that he has he same sense of humor as he did back in the day. {no i did not friends request him}

9. i love funny people. i love being around happy, funny people. it makes me want to be happy too.

10. so last friday i ending up coloring my hair a blackish/brown color. looks so much better and now i can quit tweezing all the white ones out.
