Ha!

On my quest for exercise and to lose my gut, I went running on Monday and did OK. Tuesday I did this class I have done in the past that is offered at lunch time. Still OK. Wednesday, my friend Nicole came and I sat down on the couch and my back went out when I went to stand up. What luck! I was so irritated. When my back goes "out" it basically locks up. It is almost a paralysis of my lower back. A couple of days of ibuprofen and I can move around.

I took Friday off and hung out with one of my very best friends Nicole. It was so nice to hang out and do non-work related things. I sewed and she played around on the computer but it was nice. I made three bags. Dave made me a sewing center (have I already blogged about this?) and I got to utilize it. I have a three sewing machines and I was able to bounce between all three.

Dave has been catering to all my requests. He built new shelves to make Ava's closet more user friendly. I love it and Ava could probably care less. However, she can reach all of her dresses now so she picks out a dress to wear each day and it has helped facilitating getting dressed. She has to wear a dress everyday and yells at you if you suggest pants or shorts. She has also been into hairbows lately so I have picking them up here and there for her. I can tell it makes her feel fancy. We also went out shoe shopping in honor of the tax free weekend and Ava picked out a pair of black patent leather shoes with heels and a pair of pink dress shoes. She calls the higher heels on them "high hips." I correct her and she still changes it back and says that is how she says it. She also calls Cocoa Puffs "Huffy Puffs" and that is "her" name for them.

I got a haircut and I am on the fence about it. I got ALOT cut off and and I got it put in layers and if I am not careful, I think it all sticks straight up and out in cowlicks and curls.

In the lab our two undergrads read the Twilight trilogy and I picked on them when they told me what it was about. They made such a stink about it that I had to borrow them and now I am hooked!

I guess that is all for now.
