The anniversary/The Fourth Day
Mar. 28th, 2002 11:45 pmWe had a fun date today. It's been so long since we've been "out" like that. Gosh, I miss being able to afford a nice night out more than once a year. We really couldn't afford this, to be honest, but it worked out fairly well, overall.
First we went to JC's Guns & Tackle so +Kyle could look at some case he wants for the Taurus. We looked at some other stuff there, too. There was Taurus revolver that was SO long - it was kinda reminiscent of Vash's gun. ^_^ Too funny! I saw another small really boxy looking Beretta semiauto that was too too cute & cool. I would love that gun.
Then we went to Hobby Lobby so I could pick up new spotter brushes and some paint. Some was on sale 3 for $1, so I went with that brand this time. Hope it works out alright.
Then on to Barnes & Noble...just to look - we don't buy from there if we can help it. I found several REALLY useful books on Kanji, but didn't have anything to write the titles down. One had an especially helpful section on radicals (which I still don't fully understand). We went back after the movie and dinner, and OF COURSE I couldn't find the book that had that info. (when I *had* something to write with.) There was lots of other useful information, though, and I got some other good titles to look for. Time to make my birthday list. LOL!
After that, we went to the movies. Saw "Fellowship of the Ring" again. We probably should have seen something new, but I'm glad we saw this a second time. I can't wait for the Director's Cut DVD this November!!!
Maybe we can go see Ice Age for my birthday. *crosses her fingers that she'll be able to get more hours at her dad's shop*
Then we went to TGI Friday's for dinner. =) Our waiter's name was Bree, and I know we've had him before...but not at Friday's. Probably Ruby Tuesday or maybe Outback. Of course, that would have been over a year ago, but I totally remember him. The other cool thing? I saw my old co-worker Annette!!! We got along SO well, and I was actually wondering about her the other day. We actually got seated beside her! She's been married a year, and they already have a kid. (I knew they were going to GET married when I last saw her, but had NO idea they had already gotten together!!) We exchanged phone numbers, and I am DYING to get together with her. She's such a love, and her hubby is pretty cool too, although I don't know him that well.
So now, I guess we're down to the stuff about the 4th day... I was so good today that it's 10:30 and I still have to have one point in order to make my minimum!
I took my own movie goodies (bad me, I know ^_~) and my 20 oz. water bottle. 1 cup of Marshmallow Alpha Bits & 1 serving of mini pretzels got me through almost the whole movie - and only 3 points between it all!! The marshmallows are stale. LOL! Ah well, you still can't look at free groceries in a bad way, IMO.
I allowed for 10 points with dinner tonight. I ate half their grilled chicken salad (no dressing, just spritzed with lemon). (Our waiter, Bree, said that was the strangest order for a salad he'd ever heard. LOL!) The salad was romaine lettuce and tomatoes, with the chicken on top. I had sweet tea instead of water because, frankly, I was sick of water for today. LOL! Had at least 40 oz. of it (probably still not enough, but definitely more than I'm used to.). I may have actually been a little overly generous with the points, but I'm still new at this, so I don't know. If I get myself up to 25 points for today, I should be fine...I think. ^_^'>
I must have had some serious water weight or something. I've been drinking lots of water since starting on the plan, and my rings are already loose after 4 days. I haven't worn my engagement ring in a long time, and it's always been a *little* big, but even my wedding band is a tiny bit looser. +Kyle actually noticed it first, because he kept straightening the ring on my finger. (It would slide over and the setting would rest on my middle or pinky.) It's cool that he already noticed. I didn't realize he paid THAT much attention to me. LOL!
Well, I need to finish out my points and iron out some hair for making plugs tomorrow...
