Happy Valentine's Day....

It's Saturday night and I just got back from going out with a friend of mine. Last time we got together was before Halloween. I remember her telling me how one of her dogs was suffering with cancerous tumors. So she told me that she had to have her put down. I know how hard that is. And now her other dog is grieving and missing her buddy. She is the same friend who lost her son to cancer several years ago.

So anyway....we usually go to this one bar but it has since changed hands and she heard that it isn't any good now, so we first decided to go to this other place. But the last time we went there, I remember being blinded by these low bright lights that hang over the tables. I was hoping maybe we could sit somewhere else, but when we went to sit at this booth, I could see the damn light bulb blinding me and we decided not to stay. I admit that the place was packed and apparently nobody else was being bothered by these lights......I must have super sensitive eyes or something.....or maybe I need to wear sunglasses when I go there.

So we headed on down the road and went to this place that a cousin of hers use to own but he has since sold to someone else. There was a birthday party going on so there were alot of people and they were loud, so now my ears were throbbing....and then the band started and we were both getting headaches. We stayed, ordered dinner, had a couple of drinks and tried to talk, or rather shout, and have some conversation. I couldn't wait for the band to take a break, but then the bar music started playing and it was louder than the damn band! By 11:00 we decided to leave, drove to her house and talked in the car in her driveway. I must be getting old....can't stand the loud music anymore... Or maybe it's cause I'm still on my no-beer diet, cause beer and loud music seem to go together. My gin and tonic wasn't doing the trick, I guess. Plus, I only had two drinks and being sober in a bar with loud music doesn't go together either....

Earlier today I went to the gym and worked out. I've been getting back to the gym this week. I worked out Tuesday, after work Thursday, and again today. I do the treadmill and the leg and arm machines. I've been on this somewhat diet for over a month and I've only lost 4-5 pounds. Big deal....

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day!.....I got hubby a card, Godiva chocolate bar, and some more lottery tix. Maybe I'll go shopping and buy myself something. Oh, that's right...I already did. After I worked out at the gym, I went to Macy's cause they are having a great shoe clearance and I bought a pair of shoes. But that was today, or technically yesterday...Saturday anyway....and tomorrow, or technically now it's today is Valentine's Day so the shoes I bought yesterday doesn't count. Which means that tomorrow or actually today once I go to bed and wake up, it'll be Valentine's Day and then I'll go shopping again and buy something else which will then technically be my Valentine's Day present to myself....!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY...
