'sup?

Not much goin' on over here except the kid and I went and saw the Broadway version of The Phantom of the Opera here in Sac Town! I couldn't get over how brilliant the costumes were; so bright and colorful. And the sets were out of this world; the designs were so very lavish and clever. The cast was phenomenal!

Before we went to the opera, we went out to Zocalo's for dinner, which was delicious.

What a grand way to spend a Saturday night. I really enjoyed myself. The kid and I met up with my cuzzy and her family at the opera, which was a treat in itself :-)

Other than that, things have been pretty much steady and normal. I am still doing research on where I want to go on my sabbatical with mom. We're thinking Vegas now because of the what happens in Vegas stays there - ha. I'm kidding. But seriously...

Good news: The ulcer on my right eye is completely gone! Yay! I went to the eye doctor today. Next appointment is to the dermatologist to see about getting rid of this acne on my face - it's starting to really bother me!

I went to the health peeps where I work and will hear from them in five days to meet with a health consultant. The kid did the same thing and was blubbering about having her blood taken (she's a dweeb).

Hey Babycakes, I got your message, but when I try to visit your site, I get something really weird - can you re-send me the link to your site please? Thanks (I don't want you to think I'm ignorin' ya's).

Well that's it for now peeps.

Take it ease -xo

Tonight

My kid and her friend Brook were over tonight for dinner. I fixed fried chicken and some steaks, steamed rice and corn.

I finished reading A Field of Darkness by Cornelia Read. It is her first published novel; a mystery. I would recommend the book if you enjoy reading mystery. It was a little slow at first, but picks up.

I have to head into work this Sunday (yay).

Yeah right.

Even thought my sabbatical doesn't begin until Sep 15th, I'm already on it, but I have to act like I'm not by going through the motions of working really hard as is my normal way; however, I'm sure I'm failing as each day passes. I'm so la-dee-da about work it isn't even funny although I'm laughing hard inside.

Okay not that hard, it's more like snickering.

I went and bought the ingredients to make tabouleh - I am looking forward to it. Then after that, I want to try my hand at making gazpacho soup - I've always wanted to try it. And it doesn't hurt that these two dishes are healthy. After all we all know what a health nut I truly am.

Riggghhtt.

B Donka Donk or is it...?

If B Donka Donk means a female with a kickin' booty, mine would be called a B Donka BOnK! Ha.

Yeah I need to really start getting into healthy habits again. I've been away too long from that road and it's showin' big time. Although there are some things that I have accepted about my bod - like for instance when I take off my bra, I give my toes a thrill (if ya know what I mean). But I must admit I do like my boobies.

Things that promote health: Regular exercise, the partaking of rabbit food (sprinkled lightly with reduced dressing), less salt because I retain so much water that I swear I can be one of those balloons in the Macy Christmas Parade (I'm kidding...but seriously...). And drink lots of water!

Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
