It is 1 degree here right now, when I got up this morning it was -7. Ugh. Just ugh. I hate when the cold seems never-ending in the dredges of January. Needless to say I did not do a lot this past weekend. Brooke and I went to Sam's Club on Saturday, and this definitely is a first for me, I did not find a lot that i needed to buy! I got out of there for under $50. Another first, well, not first but I haven't done it in a long time is an hour on the treadmill, usually I talk myself off after 40 minutes at the most. Brooke's friend Ryan from the campground came up Saturday night to see her. They had a good time playing Guitar Hero and watching a movie. We did not go anywhere yesterday. I actually cooked breakfast, french toast and sausage. Then I cleaned out my bathroom cabinets and my makeup drawer. i am a product junkie and it really needed to be culled. Brooke was thrilled to go through what i was getting rid of though. We watched some movies, and played Sorry. I seriously suck at that game and we had to play 5 times before I could win. For dinner we had appetizers. I was supposed to make them for next Sunday but we are going out to eat with friends so we decided to have them yesterday. Coconut shrimp, pizza rolls and potato rounds and sushi. Brooke spit out her first bite of sushi, Gary refused to try it, and I spit my first bite out, but only because I dipped it into this avocado stuff that ominously looked like green baby poo. It was SPICY hot and I was not having any of that! I dipped it into the ginger-plum dip that went with the shrimp and it was okay. I can't say that I will rush to eat it again. We went in the hot tub after eating, it was probably about 7 to 10 degrees out, and it felt wonderful. The stars were all out and i love looking at them from the warm cocoon of water. THEN, i had to get out. BRRRRR.
Brooke was not feeling well this morning, very nauseous. She has a head cold, but also was feeling achy over the weekend and her forehead was cool and clammy this morning. She took my car to school because Gary too her car in for an oil change. I just prayed that she wouldn't barf all over the interior of my car. I could just picture trying to get that out of all the little crevices. She must have felt better once she got going because she hasn't returned from school. Not much going on this week at all. God, I hate winter!
