Angels and Demons

Last night we went out to dinner at PF Chang's and went to see Angels and Demons with Nick's family. I don't think I have ever eaten so much in my life. At Chang's they have a dinner for two so I had a cup of egg drop soup, three chicken lettuce wraps, honey shrimp (I ate over half of it) with brown rice, and one of their little desserts of strawberry short cake.

Then when we went to the movie I ate an entire small bag of popcorn (which wasn't very small), half a thing of nachos and started on the sour patch kids. Then the family decided we should go to Cold Stone where I had a small (again not very small) milk and cookies shake. I don't remember the last time I ate so much and I am just thankful I didn't wake up in the middle of the night with a massive stomach ache!
The movie was good and not too long. I read The DaVinci Code and never saw the movie but I didn't read Angels and Demons which was probably good becasue the movie didn't disappoint me.

Surgery Update

My mom is out of surgery and it went well. I am heading to the hospital to see her shortly.

Mom's surgery

My mom just went into surgery for a hysterectomy at 11:00 am today. The doctor's found pre-cancer cells so this will get rid of all of them. I know it's silly but I am nervous and could never tell her. She has to be in the hospital for a few days (we're not sure how many yet). I really just want the surgery part to be over, and it should be around 2:00.

I am bringing Jose with me this afternoon to see her. I could use every one's good thoughts and prayers today.

Perfect end to a productive weekend






Taking two days off was very needed and I feel like I actually got some things accomplished. My last day of vacation was spent cleaning my basement so I have a clean place to scrapbook and make cards, getting all the cushions out on my patio furniture and starting on the third Twighlight book.

I am supposed to be reading The Good Earth for book club but I needed something refreshing and mindless. I also started going through my old Cooking Light and Sunset magazines for all the recipes.

As you can see by the pics, Jose was glad to have cushions and I completed scrapbooking freshman year of college, I just need to add the journaling (assuming I can remember that long ago :-). I still have the other three years but hope to have my college scrapbooks done by the end of the year. Then I plan to go back and do high school. I still need to do my wedding album but I have so many pictures it frightens me so I thought I would go back in time a little.

Happy Mother's Day . . .








To all of you with kids or animals. I am having a wonderful mother's day weekend. I took Friday and Monday off so I could get all my planting done. Brunch was at my house this year, I made ham and brie crapes, strawberry crapes, monkey bread, eggs and bacon. It was very low key and very tasty.

My puppies got me some new Capri's for golfing, a rain/wind jacket and matching belt so I will be very stylish next time I play golf. I hope you all have had a wonderful day too!
