Gettin' OLD

I keep thinking that I need to sit down and write on here but like so many others, time escapes me. I had a running list in my head of all the things I wanted to talk about and now I am at a loss. I guess my first mistake was thinking I could remember it all. So I am going to try and dust off the cob webs in my brain and give it a try.

For starters I am another year older. Yep, the last year of my twenties. If you would have asked me on the exact day how my birthday was going I would have said awful. I have issues when it comes to my birthday, because my parents forgot and or didn't care half the time. So when I found out Josh wanted to take back my present I broke down. A couple weeks back when we were at the mall Josh had us go into a jewelery store and look at chains since I needed a new one. One thing after another and we bought a new necklace - one with a diamond charm - because I liked it and it was a better deal than a chain alone. The night before my birthday I found out that he didn't like it and he even felt like he didn't have a say in picking out my birthday present. So he wanted to take it back and my real present wasn't ready so I had nothing to open on the actual day. Lame, I know but its my birthday. I at least need a little something to open. We did end up (on my suggestion) going to the fair and boy was that a dud. We got some cute pictures of Isabelle but other than that it was a waste of time and money. Josh made dinner but forgot about the cookies I wanted so that was out too. So all in all it wasn't a good day. The next day, Josh called from work to say that we were going to get my present that evening and to be ready to leave around 5:30. I was and we left. I love surprises but it is really hard to get anything past me; especially for Josh. So when we pulled up to this lux day spa I was floored. He had set up everything and all I had to do was go on in. I had the best massage ever!! She used hot stones and her fingers were like magic. I can not wait to go back. Things might not have happened like I'd envisioned but that was the best birthday present to date!

While we were at this oh so lame fair we stopped and looked at the animals. As you can guess, Isabelle was excited. She fell in love with this white donkey. There were so many other things (including a camel of all things) but all she cared about was this white donkey. I think it was because he (or maybe she) was upset and was stomping all around. Who knows though with this girl. While walking around we found a rock wall. There was a sign that said if you can climb the hard side all the way to the top you win $50. Josh wanted to give it a try. He is a pretty fit guy so he was fairly confident in himself. I was to for that matter. Needless to say, he didn't make it. They had removed some of the hand and foot grips so it was really really hard. At least he tried and he made it farther than some.

So we finally bought another car. It is so nice to finally be able to leave the house and do what I want to when I want to. Plus, we flat out paid for it so we don't have a second car payment which is really nice. So far I have been able to take Isabelle to the park and meet a few other moms. Hopefully, I can start to make some friends here. I also found a step workout class that meets 3 times a week. I am going to start going so that I can lose the rest of this baby weight. I refuse to be big again. I have been having this really bad heel pain and from what I just researched doing the step class might not be such a good idea. I am going to try and get a heel cup and see if that helps but if it doesn't the next step is cortisone shots and after that surgery. I don't want either one so I hope the cup helps because ... I don't like needles!!!
