lazy day...

i got a fill yesterday.  1 cc of the 2 they took out back in.  not sure if i have full restriction.  if i don't, i will go back in on the 13th for another half.   i definitely know i was too tight before regardless of the popcorn.  i also made my one year band anniversary appointment for november 9th.   i will see the actual surgeon for that appointment and not the PA who i have grown very close with. 

so the other night i decided to go to barnes and noble and whole foods.   BUT until i pulled into the parking lot i totally forgot that a new Nordstrom Rack (Nordstrom outlet) had opened up in the same shopping center.   needless to say...an hour and half later you would not have known i just paid my american express bill the day before....actually i only spent $84 dollars on a dress, spanx tights and a pair of shoes.   not bad considering the cost at Nordstrom for these three items would have been close to $300.    but the retail therapy was great.

funny thing is that gen's comment about voting for starbucks came in on my phone while i was in the dressing room and i thought "oh, gen, you of all people would agree that i made a wise choice to go to nordsrtoms!".  lol.  

i did run into whole foods and got my soup for yesterday.   i heart their lobster bisque (yadda, yadda, yadda). 

i tried on some bras when i was there.  nice bras.   for the first time probably since 5th grade i was wearing a bra with only two clasps in the back!  how cool is that?  i chose not to buy the bras though because i am putting my positive energy out there for the breast reduction SOON.   speaking of which i called the surgeon on wednesday to see what was going on with the insurance approval.   the woman who knew was not in until thursday.  forgot to call thursday.  so friday i called the insurance pre-certification line and they had no submittal.  WHAT?!?!?!  i hoping i remember to call the surgeon's office next week in between all my work craziness to find out what is really going on.  i am not above finding another surgeon.

so speaking of work...i think i have all my childcare coverages in order for the next two weeks.  there is only one night where i have no one so i am going to take the princess with me.  i have a friend in this particular community and i may just drop the princess off at her house because she wouldn't even notice one more (she has TEN kids....all foster/adoptees) or just take the princess with me to the meeting and put her in the back of the meeting with a dvd and headphones.   i will never ever ever ever regret my chosen life as a solo parent nor do i think right now i am the type to go all domestic with someone else....but it is times like this it would be nice to have another person around the house in a co-parent role.   but then again....lol...

i have a lot of narcissistic expectations about the next two weeks.  i will be seeing community members that i don't see often and i am hoping for a lot of positive feedback.

it is a beautiful day in south florida.   i am actually sitting outside on the patio right now.  there are 13 places one's ass could sit on this patio.   this includes chairs, ottomans, a kid's picnic table and a lounge chair.   right now there are four tushies on the lounge chair....me with my laptop, the cocker spaniel, the chihuahua and the princess.  seriously?  lol.   i'd get up and get my camera to take a picture but they all look so comfy and cute so i don't want to disturb them.
