Busy, busy, busy

I've been busy this week getting ready for the cruise and finishing up my Christmas shopping. I hit a few snags in the Christmas shopping but everything is worked out now. And for the cruise I just need to try on some outfits and pack. Looking forward to the cruise and to the holidays this year. Hopefully we will be able to visit with my sister over the holidays. I haven't seen her in a couple of months and I miss her. So things are looking good for now, except I'm so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open. Maybe a nap is in the cards today :)

Shopping for the cruise

Yesterday Melissa and I went shopping and had a nice lunch. I was shopping for some outfits to wear on the cruise we are taking in a couple of weeks. I found several nice shirts and a pair of pants that went with everything. Melissa found a nice outfit too. One of the shirts I didn't like after trying it on and the pants were a bit small. So today we are going back to exchange them and take the shirt back. She also found another sweater she liked so I'll probably get that for her when we exchange the pants. A very successful shopping trip. I just hope I can find the pants in the right size. She's sleeping until noon so we are not getting the early start like I wanted. I'll be calling her soon to wake her up, I'm just excited about the cruise and want everything to be perfect. I can't wait!

A new look

I finally got my hair colored and cut yesterday. Here are the results.

Peace

Catching up

Let's see, it's October 8th and I've already got my paperwork done for September. That's a good feeling. But I have plenty more to do, files to make up and go through all the stacks of paper that surround me. I always have good intentions of getting it done but have a hard time getting started. The motivation just isn't there, looks like I need a push to jump start me lol.

I went to the doctor today for my follow up visit. I wasn't looking forward to it but it wasn't so bad after I got there. My blood work looked pretty good and I didn't gain any weight. So I didn't get any bad news, my doctor said she was happy with my progress. Now I need to get back on my healthy diet and start walking and exercising again. I got off track when I was sick a couple of weeks ago. My legs, feet and hip are still sore from the walking tour we went on Saturday night. And my feet and ankles are still a little swollen. I'm hoping to be fully recovered soon. I'm anxious to start walking again. But my doctor said no stairs or walking up hill until my body recovers. I'm getting better every day so it won't be long. I just need to walk on level ground. That shouldn't be a problem. After the doctor I stopped at Ingram Mall to pick up a pair of pajamas I had ordered online. I love getting new pajamas lol.

That's all the news for today. I'm hoping to take some pictures to post soon.  But first I need to have my hair colored and cut :)

The ghosts and legends tour

Last night me and the family went down to the Alamo to go on the ghosts and legends walking tour. I must say that the tour guide was a very good story teller. He had a lot of stories and made it very entertaining. It was fun walking around downtown. There were a lot of people doing all kinds of things. And our little group of 26 people were set to go on the tour. It was an hour and a half walk so I was pretty tired by the end. I did have a problem with some stairs, my knees don't like stairs lol. Thank goodness there were only 3 flights. And they had ramps going back up so I didn't have to go up any stairs. That was a relief. I must say though it was a very enjoyable night out with the family :)

Pedicure update lol

I did get a pedicure on Sunday but I got hot pink instead of blue. Next time I'm going for the blue :)

October is breast cancer awareness month
