Today’s the Big Day!!
The town I work in is finally getting an Old Navy. I’m so thrilled. No longer will I have to make the 2 hour drive to buy cute Old Navy clothes. So, tonight they will be opening from 6-9 pm for people with an invitation. Well, it just so happens that I got my hands on one of those invites! So, Hooker, LittleMan, and myself are shopping this afternoon. The invitation gets us 20 % off our purchases, so hopefully I can snag a good bargain. I want some cute track pants or some really casual khaki cargo-type pants.
The Diet
Well, as part of the diet, I have started trying to drink more water. I knew I had really started drinking a lot (I seem to be so thirsty lately) and yesterday I decided to start keeping up with just how much I was drinking. I was shocked. Turns out I drank around 192 ounces of water yesterday. That’s a gallon and a half of water. WOW!! No wonder I’ve been making the trip to the little girl’s room every 30 minutes! I wonder how many times a day I make that trip….hmmmm….
Space Shuttle
I saw where the space shuttle lifted off. Good for them. I was slightly disturbed by a comment on the news where someone stated that some small safety glitches were probably overlooked due to the big push to get the space shuttle lifted off. That’s kinda scary. When they start selling space shuttle trips to the public, rest assured that I won’t be standing in line!
Hope everyone has a great day!!

Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
