Saturday!!!

I love being off on Saturday's. I seem to work them about 90% of the time so getting two days off in a row is a real treat.

I envy you guys that are at the Clemson game today. The weather looks gorgeous on TV. Plus we are winning!!!

I have been trying to use this day to catch up on things around the house. I don't know how we manage to make things so messy so fast but its unbelievable. I haven't been doing very well keeping up with my FlyLady cleaning this week. Between the slightly cooler weather, getting dark before I get home from work and my new BP meds I feel zonked out by 6 pm. One area I want to work on this week is menu planning. Over at the Organized Junkie she has something called "Menu Plan Monday" so I am going to do my best to participate this week and play my meals ahead of time.

As for the knee..
Well I got my MRI results. No tears at all however I do have arthritis in my knee (what?!?) and a Ganglion Cyst. I googled it and it doesn't sound too bad but they want me to go to an orthopedist to see. Ugh.

BLOG!

As much as I enjoy reading everyone else's blog you would think I would do a better job of posting in mine!

Andrea - I really enjoyed seeing all the pics from homecoming!

Mat and I have already planned to go next year. We are tired of missing out!

Sara - We hope you and Danny can make it down next year too! (Yes I do realize this is a year into the future. ha!)

We are doing well. We both have fairly new promotions at work keeping us really busy it seems. Plus we both have jobs that involve working on the weekends so that pretty much just sucks all the way around. However I try to remember I need to be thankful for what we do have.

All is well on the "Operation Baby" front. So far I am half way through my down dosing of the "unsafe" blood pressure meds and will soon start on the pregnancy safe one. I have been checking it daily and it does not seem to be any higher despite the lower meds which I find very interesting! Kristi and I were on a good roll of exercising daily however rain every day for the last 3 days has put a little damper on that this week. I have also been faithful taking my daily multi vitamin as well.

I have my 32nd (AHH!) birthday next week and I had a little taste of "getting older" this week. Wow it sucks. I mean you know you are getting older it is just hard to hear from someone else. I have been having a little bit of trouble seeing lately. I have been to the eye doctor and went though several contact changes but my vision was still not as clear as I was used to. Then my doctor told me that apparently my eyes are not willing to overcorrect for the slight astigmatism I have anymore and I will need a special contact for it. Then that's when she said "It can happen when you get a little older" ACK. Old plus more expensive contacts! Thankfully however the new lenses corrected the vision issue. Damn aging.

I miss....

I miss going to Clemson football games. This time of year it really hits me. I miss seeing everyone, tailgating, walking to the stadium, cheering...the whole thing. Memphis has been very good to us. I have a good job, we bought our first house, Mat has a job (he isn't as crazy about his as I am) I just hate being so far away from Clemson! It would be about an 10 or so hour trip each way. It just isn't feasible.

When we moved here we thought we could still get the same game experience by converting to Memphis Tiger fans. HA. Well apparently once you are a Clemson fan you don't convert to anything else. It's just not the same.

Ok I'm done ranting now.
