THE DAY HAS COME!

I am ashamed to say that I have not done one ounce of excercise since the Race for the Cure and I have pretty much eaten anything and everything that I have desired. Can't really put into words what has been going on but today it changes!

Thanks to my friend Jen, who can be a real pain in the @$& sometimes (Jen, you know I mean that in the most loving affectionate way possible), I will finally be joining the hospital fitness center. This morning I have an eye appt to keep (aging sucks!) and then we are going to head up to the fitness center to work out and meet the trainers.

Nat has a very special person to meet w/ today. His dad called yesterday and said that he and his new wife had their baby--a boy. Right now I am having a hard time reading Nat's reaction. I think he wants to be excited about the baby but he may be a little jealous and sensitive to his former step mom's feelings. Poor guy--his life was never meant to be this complicated.

Last night Nat went to a birthday party. Originally they were supposed to go to Pumpkin Works (lots of straw mazes and haunted hayride); however, our weather here has been horrible and the little girl's parents decided to by pass all the mud that would be involved. The kids decided to go to a local haunted house which the Humane Society was putting on as a fundraiser.

Nat ended up being the "front" man b/c all the other kids were too skeered. He said it ended up being pretty lame b/c the birthday girl (15 yrs) freaked out and cried and screamed the whole way through. A monster came out of the shadows with a flash light to escort them out. He asked all the other monsters to please not jump out and scare the kids. Therefore, they got a lighted tour straight out the door. That was a $5 well spent.

Tonight Kim and I decided to go see the movie THE PRESTIGE with Hugh Jackman and Christian Bayle. It was AWESOME!!!!! I can't wait to get it when it comes out on video b/c I am sure there is a lot that I didn't catch onto. The story is about two rival magicians who attempt to figure out how the other does his tricks and tries to sabotage the other. Oh My Gosh, I can't say enough. Normally I try to only go to the show when the movies are part of the 5 Buck Club but this one I payed full price for ($8.50) and it was well worth it. I would love to have email discussions about it if anyone is interested.

Thanks for your loyalty to the blog and not giving up on me. I will try to not give up on myself again in the future--hopefully this "funk" I've been experiencing is going to be but a memory soon.
