Day 88

Well, today is pretty much over.  This week has flown by and tomorrow is Friday already!  I am really looking forward to a couple of things tomorrow, I will keep you posted IF they make it into my happy blog!

Today was a day full of Christmas shopping.  In just one week, I find out if I have to have my fifth, and hopefully FINAL, surgery of the year.  If I do have to have surgery, all of my Christmas shopping had better be done and over with because I don't think I am going to be doing much WALKING after getting bone removed from my hip.  I have had that done once before and I remember being in bed for a lot of weeks after that...although the bone graft was to my knee so that had something to do with the not walking around as well. 

I headed to the mall and got a lot of people presents, hope they all like them!  It is funny how I am still so picky about presents.  Even if I get someone a gift card, you can be sure a good amount of time went in to the thought BEHIND said gift card.  Will they like it, and what are the chances they will use this?  Is it too impersonal, it is too personal?  I go through a lot to find presents for people because it makes me really really happy to give people presents!  I love the opportunity to gift someone with something that is going to make them smile.  So lots of fun times today shopping at the mall for special someones and special gifts!

In between shopping today, and while both boys were with their favorite babysitter of all time, I had the chance to get a lunch in with one of my favorite lunch buddies.  My friend Jinkee is truly a gifted woman when it comes to finding good food!  As we were driving to lunch today, to this restaurant in Dana Point to get Brisket Nachos...oh my GOSH were they good....we discussed about 5 OTHER places we needed to go in the near future for fun lunches.  Every eating experience is an adventure with her!  She has a food blog, but she should seriously do her own food blog of "The Best Thing I Ever Ate."  She has amazing taste buds, and I am one lucky gal to get to go along for the ride and seek out places where delicious morsels are just waiting to be discovered!  Oh, and here is a picture that I took of said Nachos today, and yes, they absolutely look as good as they tasted!


So back to shopping I went after lunch.  I was able to get David a couple of Christmas gifts (that man is impossible to get gifts but I really hit the jackpot on presents for him this year!)  After that, I stopped by my favorite pet store and got to go in and play one on one with a new Golden Retriever they had there.  SUCH a sweetheart!  He is a little out of our price range, and something inside me always tells me that the right dog isn't here yet, so for now, it is sure fun to play with fluffy puppies, but our puppy buying days aren't here yet.
Well, my precious little guys are snuggled down in bed and I am off to watch a bit of TV in my NEW pajamas I bought today that actually are long enough for my legs!  They don't make many PJs for us tall girls...most "pant PJs" come just below my calf lol.  Hope you all found some joy in your day and started shopping for your loved ones...not TOO many days till Christmas!  Happy Happy Thursday all!
