sipping on chamomile

Throat still hurts. Not fun. Need to add on my "to-do" list to pick up some herbs MIL used last week.

Bug stayed home with me today - anyone surprised? I did not think so. We had a great and lazy day. I felt sick and I think Bug was fighting it. We slept A LOT. Sweetie came home for lunch. After he left, Bug and I took a nap for over three hours. Wow. But it did feel good. I woke to Bug at my side and Alley (our very big kitty) at Bug's feet. I always sleep the best when this kitty joins in. This is the first time the three of us have snuggled. I guess Alley has realized that Bug is staying.

Tomorrow is going to be very busy. Most likely, Bug will be home again - I need her. However, we have errands to run. We need to shop for 1st day of work, ADDYs, and Carnaval. Man, I am a busy girl.

So, this morning I was sleeping so nicely with Bug. We received goodbye kisses from Sweetie and did not wake up again for another two hours. When Sweetie got home tonight I asked him a question.

Me : Did you take pictures of me and Bug this morning?
Sweetie : Yes
Me : Why?
Sweetie : Because you two looked too sweet not to



Not the most flattering photo, but Bug looks cute and that is all that matters. Of course with the amount of napping we did today, I am sure she will be up very late. As it is now 10:15 and she is still wide awake.

Here is my to-do list for tomorrow:
1) Buy shoes for Carnaval
2) Find Dress for Addys
3) Pick out outfits for first three days of work, including red shirt for Friday
4) Find new purse
5) Fill out paperwork
6) Develop film for pictures of bug and Sweetie to take to work
7) Relaxing bubble bath to help prepare
8) oh and buy pills that MIL used, almost forgot already

And, of course, lunch with Sweetie, but that is never a "to do".

In other good news, I was able to stick to my Weight Watcher Points. With my weight loss, I have just eaten less if I go over board, while not really counting - hope that makes sense. I know that to lose these last 15-20 pounds I am going to have to count and be healthy. Today I did it. I was able to eat only 20 points. Sweetie and I are motivated with Carnaval this weekend. We ate healthy all day and then Sweetie was munchy and I suggest baking cookies. How funny is that? We are showing our bottoms off in less than a week and I suggest cookies. I did not bake them - I am strong - and plan to give the recipe a try for a Valentine's Day Present. Sweetie loves sugar cookies. However, he is very particular about them. Hopefully the recipe I found will be close to the massively produced version he loves.

Oh and one more thing, Sweetie and I have our "training plan" figured out for the marathons. Motive (half) is in November and Freescale (full) is in Feb. We are going to, sadly the first time ever, participate in the Capitol 10k on Apr 2. It is just under the half marathon mileage, and a good training event. Sweetie is running and I am walking. We begin our training on the 6th, also when my Buddy comes to visit me. I am very excited and already contacted the organizers to find out the course time. As you may not know, I have had two half marathons close early on me. However, I am much lighter now and will have a more consistent training program under my belt.

I also received my "come on you know you want to do it" package for the Breast Cancer three-day walk today. I need to talk to my boss about it. Not sure the etiquette for this kind of thing. I work for one charity, is it ok to support another. Know what I mean? I would expect her to say, do ours instead. But maybe not.

I ordered Sweetie's thong for Carnaval. He asked that I not post the photo that they provide on the website. Drat. Well, I have to admit the photo does look pretty porn- starish. Hopefully, I can convince him that his costume is very cool and tasteful photos will make the blogger world very happy.
