Had kind of a crazy day yesterday. Had to catch a flight at 6 am, so was up at 3:30. Had total resolve to have a good eating day, but resolve faded fast.... Had a mocha frappucino at airport (not a big deal), cranberry juice and a breakfast bar on plane. Got into Oakland 1/2 hour early (!) and had over 2 hours to fill before I could go to the store I had to be at, so went 'window shopping' at Mervyn's where I tried on a really cute dress which actually fit! Didn't buy, though... still not totally happy with the midsection and felt it was a little too tight in that area. Anyway, still had some time to kill, so what did I do?... Went to Taco Bell and had a cheesy double beef burrito and a soft taco ;( Later, I had to make a drive to another store, so stopped by a 7-11 and picked up a water (good), diet green tea (still good), a WW 1 point cake (fine) and a bag of trail mix (BADDDD!!!). At 140 calories per serving and 5 servings in the bag, when I ate the WHOLE bag, I figured it was about 15 points! Plus, I know better, because eating nuts like that really does a number on my stomach, so I really wasn't feeling well afterwards. Then, to top it all off, my boss happens to be here, too, so after we both got done with our day, she called and invited me to go to dinner with her-- which, believe me, I totally appreciated since I hate to eat alone, but we went to Mexican, where I had a chicken tamale, cheese enchilada, and lots of rice (don't eat beans) AND we shared a brownie/ice cream dessert. So, all in all, a probably not very good eating day, but I'm not going to try to put it all in to find out exactly-- just going to continue on today like it never happened!
Had something interesting happen last night-- the hotel that I'm in doesn't have good cell phone reception, so when I called my husband, I went outside to walk around while we talked. As I was walking, I saw something moving in the bushes-- it turned out to be a SKUNK! I have never seen one in 'real life'! Then, of course, I'm watching it 'cuz I don't want it to come near me, and what do I see?? ANOTHER ONE!! So I went and got into my rental car to continue my call with hubby, not wanting to wander into one on accident as hubby said I had BETTER not get sprayed, and as I'm sitting there, I watch THREE more cross the street in front of me!! When I finished talking to hubby and came in the hotel, I mentioned it to the front desk and they said that skunks are all over here! Maybe it's because we're right next to the bay?? I don't know what a skunks habitat is....
This was a short trip this week. I have another store to visit today, but get to go home tonight and work in town tomorrow and Saturday. Didn't make it to the Rose Festival last weekend, but plan to make it a date with hubby on Saturday night, then take kids for rides, etc, on Sunday. My brother and his wife and kids are coming down this weekend, so that should be fun.
Have a SUPER FANTASTIC Thursday everyone!! Hugs and positive thoughts to you all!! :)
