Healthy Me

I came across an article today about the importance of being proactive about your own health to avoid life-threatening misdiagnosis.  Check out:

I've lost 20 pound!!  I have 11.3 pounds to go!  Once I get rid of those remaining 11.3 pounds, I'll take inventory of myself and see if I feel good at that weight or want to lose a little more.  I don't want to be stick skinny like I used to be.  I have mom curves now and I'd like to keep some of them. 

My son's birthday weekend was great.  I felt good until Sunday evening so it all went fine.  Today, I'm not feeling too hot.  I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever kick this bacteria.

Instead of going furniture shopping today, I went online window shopping since I don't feel good enough to walk around the furniture stores right now.  I am looking for a round coffee table.  I've had rectangular before but wanted to look at round coffee tables for a change. 

I found this Winsome Genoa Round Coffee Table with a Glass Top and a shelf underneath that looks like a good possibility.  The glass will prevent water stains when the kids leave their glasses on the table when I'm not around to march them back to the kitchen table.  Then again, there is a Winsome Timer Coffee Table that has both a shelf and a drawer in a rectangle shape.  I might go with a rectangular shape again but I really wanted to try something totally different.

Oh well, back to window shopping.

My son turns 11 today.  We are going to have a birthday dinner at the restaurant of his choice, movie of his choice and a party at home with a cake and ice cream (of course).  He's definitely maturing past the stage of Pokemon and stuff now because I thought he'd ask for something like a ps3 for his birthday but he asked for a Cajon instead. It's a box drum (look it up on YouTube...it's pretty cool).  Maybe he's saving the PS3 for his Christmas list.  He's probably going to hit us up for the big stuff when it comes from Santa.

We're planning a vacation this summer to visit family again.  I hope my transmission holds out for the trip because it would stink to be 300 miles away from home and have the car die.  I can't believe how expensive it is to have a transmission replaced on a vehicle.  It's not like I'm looking for Ferrari parts but still...$2000-$3000 to replace my transmission. I've never had to do it before and I'm hoping this one will hold out, rumbling and all, for a long time to come.  The mechanic said to drive it til it dies so that's what I'm doing. 

Like car problems and stress helps my health.  Geez.  It's neverending.
