a day in the life of 29

Happy birthday to me! I’m off work today and here’s how I’ve spent my day:

I got up around 8 and opened my cards and presents after making a wish at this exact time:

Kris got me the Betty Crocker Low Fat, Low Cholesterol cookbook (don’t worry, I asked for it!). Jill got me some new perfume and a refill of some of my makeup. Look at all my pretty cards from the parents and grandparents!

Then I got ready to go to the cardiologist. Thank goodness for hair-blowing air conditioning!

My first stop was a long-awaited trip to Sonic for a vanilla Diet Coke. I haven’t had one in months because I’m not drinking caffeine and I heard that carbonation is bad for the gallbladder.

It was worth the wait.

After my appointment, I met Kris at Chili’s for a low-fat lunch of a black bean burger. YUM.

Kris was excited about his yummy hamburger too.

I even got a birthday card from my sweet Kaylee-bear. Right now, daddy signs them for her.

After that I decided to do a little shopping. I went to Bath and Body Works and got some awesome new lemon lip balm and a whole bag full of other goodies. All for $28! I love sales combined with coupons!!

Then I visited Hallmark and found a pretty baby book for Kaylee for 40% off and I went ahead and got her first Halloween card. I couldn’t resist. Plus, I’ll be busy around that time you know.

After that I did a little banking. Where the teller made a mistake and input that I deposited $80 MORE than I did. I caught his mistake and went and told him. He didn’t let me keep the $80. Boo. Perhaps it’s reasons such as this that Citibank is having a few financial troubles?

On my way home, I stopped for a vanilla snow cone since it’s 96 here today. It hit the spot and was almost as good as a big bowl of high fat ice cream!

When I got home I was cruising the Internet and found this awesome looking recipe for homemade blueberry muffins with struessel topping. I had some fresh blueberries, so I made these:

Boy are they tasty and worth all that effort! I was afraid I was going to go into labor from standing in the kitchen for so long.

So my low fat cake wasn’t all that great. I think I put too much glaze on it and it got soggy. O well. I’ll have double chocolate fudge goodness next year.

We ended the day with 2.5 hours of infant safety and CPR training. Meet Mini Baby. We got to bring Mini Baby and the instructional DVD home with us. Now anyone who cares for Kaylee will be subjected to the DVD. Always be prepared!

Now I’m off to bed. It’s back to work tomorrow … but at least it’s Wednesday!
