Oh Solo Mio

Oscar and I headed off to the airport on Friday after having breakfast with Holder and dropping him off at school. It was a fairly casual drop off, but as soon as I got back into the car missing him set in.

I set out on a mission to distract myself and whip "me" into the epitomy of health. I was off to Barnes and Nobles for some sound diet advice. I thought I might add to my misery by trying to fast. However, once at B and N I realized I was in way over my head. So I decided I'd just try to eat fruits, veggies, and nuts this weekend. The thought of it was daunting. So much so in fact, that I got physically sick through my first salad at lunch. Actually, I just had a 12 hour stomach bug and was back ready to have at it the following day. I did cheat twice though (and there are only two days in the weekend!) I ate some chicken on my salad and ate sushi on Sunday.

But I did cut out caffeine. Imagine me crawling around the floor going through withdrawals from the lack of Starbucks. Crying out, willing to do anything to get that black mud coarsing through my veins again. Kidding, kidding. I just had some major headaches, but by Sunday night I was fine and I think I even slept better. I know my bank account did!

Or did it? I went out and found a killer sale at JC Penney's on Saturday with Mom. I bought a bedding set and curtains, but immediately had buyer's remorse. The great thing was that when I got it all home, it didn't match anyway. So I waited eagerly for the mall to open and trekked back on Sunday to make a serious return. Only to find that I could get an additionaly 30% off on Sunday. That meant 70% off. Yeah for me! So I found what I was looking for, certain my hubby would approve and now I feel like I'm in a luxury suite just waiting for someone besides Harry Potter (ie. my husband Oscar) to share it with me.
