TGIF!!

Wooo Hooo it's Friday!! Now if 4:30 will just hurry up & get here I'll be a happy girl. I have a confession. See this


For all my non-Louisiana friends, that is a slice of King Cake. See this


That is cream cheese & strawberry filled goodness covered in sugar. Yes, I ate it. Every second I spent in Yogalates this week probably went down the drain with that one little slice. I'm not sure what's more disturbing, that or the fact that I'm not all that concerned that I ate it. It was soooo good!!! I'm not even a huge fan of strawberry. I like it but if I buy a King Cake it's just going to be filled with the greatness that is cream cheese. The good news is I didn't buy it so I won't be tempted. Someone brought it to work.

I was sitting here emailing with my friend Wendy & I'm telling her how incredibly sleepy I am & how I could just lay my head on my desk & go to sleep. Then it hit me. THE SUGAR!!! It's the culprit, I just know it! I haven't felt like this in awhile. Well, now that I think about it, I felt like this Sunday night at the Super Bowl Party. Guess what? I ate bread pudding & a brownie. That was before I decided to try & diet/eat healthier. Interesting coinky dink?? I doubt it. So, next time I have a sugar craving I need to remember this feeling & maybe I won't succumb to it.

So, yesterday I had a dentist appt. Everything went fine & all is well. I've had a fear of the Dentist for like umpteen years because of all the crap I've had done to my teeth. I'm getting over it. Thank goodness. Mainly, it's thanks to our friend, Paul, who is the dentist that I go to now. He has a great Hygienist. Anyway, Dean & I had a conversation last night. Ever since I was a little kid I've brushed my teeth before going to the Dentist. Something was mentioned yesterday & Dean said "I don't brush before I go to the Dentist". REALLY?? He said why would he, they brush them there? Hmmmm. My response to that was "you wouldn't go get all sweaty & then go to the gyno without bathing right??". Dean's response to this was "Well, when you put it like that it makes a lot of sense.". So, do you brush your teeth before going to the dentist???

Toodles!

Bad Looking Out

This morning I went to Babies R Us to by a Wii. They were advertising in their sale paper that when you buy the Wii you get either a case or a charger thing free. A $40 value. Being that everywhere I looked has been sold out I called them before I went over there. They told me they had 2 & would hold one if I was coming today. Off I went. The girls at the service desk gave me a look when I told them why I was there. Then they asked me "we have some?" Um yeh. I don't work there or anything but yes you have 2. Off she goes to wherever & after a few minutes she came back with it. Of course when I ask about the free accessory she acts like she has no clue what I'm talking about. I had my sale paper though. Off she goes again only to come back & tell me that they don't sell the accessories & that I can go to Toys R Us when they get some in & return it & re-buy it to get the free thing. Fine whatever. Off I go to Toys R Us. I know this is a lot of work but it's $40 & it's right across the street. Lucky for me they had the accessory & didn't give me any problems & now I have my charger.

Back to Babies R Us, when I was paying the cashier asked if I wanted to join their reward program, "it's free". Isn't that nice? In the last 4 yrs. I've spent a small fortune at this store because everyone I know has had a baby & this is the FIRST time anyone ever mentioned the rewards program. Apparently, they send you coupons & for every $150 you spend you get a coupon. So sign up if you haven't.

After I left Toys R Us I went to Baum's Bakery. There was an article in this mornings paper about their black & gold fleur de lis king cakes. I thought that would be the perfect thing to bring to the Super Bowl Party we're going to. I get there & they don't have any. They have about a million regular king cakes all over the place. It seems like it would've been a better idea to have a bunch of Saints king cakes made up being that it is Super Bowl weekend & you're going to have an article in the paper. Did I mention that the sign outside said "We have Saints king cakes!"?? However, if I want to come back after 3:00 they'll have some. Sorry, no thanks. Bad looking out I tell ya.

I went to Mass this afternoon. The closing hymn was "When The Saints Go Marching In". I've NEVER heard so much singing. As our Priest left the altar he threw in a "Who Dat"!!! It was pretty awesome!

Speaking of the Saints, it's been more than 24 hours since I've heard "Get Crunk". What's up with that???

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!
