soulfood & cancellations

Yesterday I had a great day with my granddaughter Penelope.  We snuggled, wrestled, and giggled.  She is good for my soul!

taking a 2 hr nap on the fake couch

She had a really long nap on my fake couch.  Two whole hours!  I was amazed since I was sitting nearby in my recliner watching TV and it didn't phase her.  She has been a light sleeper in recent months.


Grandpa Greg told me she'd been walking all over in the morning...he was quite impressed with her mad walking skills!  I was looking forward to seeing that also but it didn't pan out that way.  She acted like it hurt to walk or stand and would cry.  Maybe she over did it?  I told her Mommy and she is going to talk to the doctor about it.  They'll get her all fixed up!


We played with my son's mardi gras beads again.  Penelope LOVES those things!!  She heads straight to them every time she comes over!  She worked out with me.  I did leg lifts so she came over and did leg lifts also.  I did push ups so she came over and crawled under me, giggling as I landed on top of her repeatedly.  I did pelvic thrusts and she did too...for about a minute and then decided it would be more fun to climb on top of Grandma for a ride.  I got my work out!  And we both giggled like fools!  Since it was that much fun I kept it up longer than I would have otherwise, most likely.

I ordered pizza and we ate like kings.  She loves pizza!  Me too!  Soooooo good!  Sooooo fattening!  Oh well.

The cake baking event for today has been cancelled.  I'm super bummed!!  My BIL Jesus has been sick and isn't getting better.  My sister had to finally call it.  She was also super bummed!  We are going to reschedule for next weekend.  At least I have that to look forward to! 

My birthday is actually tomorrow and I'm going out with Kim for a drink or a caramel apple thingy at Caribou or Starbucks.  She has foot surgery the next day so doesn't know if she can have a drink or not.  When I mentioned appletini's she started thinking she needed one!  I don't care.  I love those caramel apple thingies too and I'm more interested in the social aspect.

Gosh!  I have no idea what to do with myself today now!  A whole day off and no pressure to accomplish anything.  No sugar at the end of it either.  Probably a good thing.  Kinda of sad tho too.
