Monday Off Edition

So I have the day off today. Justin has the day off today. What kind of mischief can we get into? Well to begin with, we slept until like 10:00 a.m. That's like 4 extra hours in our world. As I was laying there enjoying the nothing-to-do ambiance that had invaded my room, I realized that if we had children this would not be possible. It's good to be an Aunt.
There's nothing on television because Time Warner Cable is replacing all the cable lines in our neighborhood. We haven't had cable television or phone service in days. At first I was annoyed because I was missing my shows. But, after more than a week I could care less if it is ever turned back on. I think we are going to give up cable t.v. Shocking, I know! But, it would save us over $100 a month to rid ourselves of the t.v. and we have come up with so many more fun things to do instead. Between work, gym, doggie play time and designing healthy meals for us- I haven't much use for the t.v. anymore. Not to mention our t.v. is located in the living room and these days we live upstairs because that is where the air conditioning is. This is not to say we haven't been frequenting the local BlockBuster for an evening chill-out flick. It's still way cheaper than cable.
So, I am miffed at everyone who saw the movie "Juno" and didn't tell me it was AWESOME!!!! The music to that movie was incredibly cool and the dialogue had me cracking up! I can't believe it has taken me this long to see it. I also can't believe we rented the new "Rambo". If you're a chick, that one name can make the blood in your veins run cold. I have been forced by every man in my life to watch Sly Stallone "shoot 'em up" and this husband of mine is no different. Boooo. On the other hand, I really liked "Semi-Pro" with Will Ferrell and "Strange Wilderness". Both movies were hysterical (if you like crude humor).
On another happy note, I can report weight loss of over 40 pounds at this point in time. On my last visit to the Dr., she informed me that I am down 40 pounds since February. Rockin'! My latest blood work revealed that I am in astoundingly good health and that my blood sugar was P-E-R-F-E-C-T. I don't have to return to the doc for any more tests until September. At that time, I may be able to reduce/discontinue my diabetes medication. Cross your fingers for me!

Speaking of September, we are calling all family members attention regarding our annual trip to Myrtle Beach. We are trying to get enough people together to rent a GIGANTIC beach house in September. It's beach front with 8 bedrooms, a game room, three big screen t.v.s, a private hot tub and pool. So if you're family, distant family, sorta family, or just like family let's hitch up the wagons and go to S. Carolina for some beach fun!

I am going to see Jack Johnson at Blossum with my friend Jessica. We are totally stoked since we are both big Jack fans. I am trying to remember the last time I used the word "stoked". I might be dating myself by using that word. Oh well, "ya better hope" I see you there!
