9/7

I must start off today wishing a very Happy Anniversary to my son and daughter-in-law on this, their 13th anniversary!  They got married in '01, so it's very easy to figure out their years:  this year minus one!
Nothing much happening today.  Getting up to the alarm at 9.  Shower, dress, off to church.  Out to eat - we went to Country Inn in Georgetown this week, to get the big breakfast that we both like so much.
Home for the big goings-on for the day:  FOOTBALL!!  Today starts the football season, and I am so ready!  I park my big (but smaller) butt in my recliner, and there I stayed for most of the afternoon.  During the afternoon games, of which there were only 2, I did get on the pute to help relieve a bit of the boredom that happens when commercials - the same commercials over and over - happen.  I'm so glad I don't have that problem during the early games, and as the season goes on, I won't during the late games, either.  There are usually 4 late games.  I usually don't get on the pute til the night game - the only game on at that time.
I was a happy girl today, my Bengals won and the Patriots lost!  WhooHoo!  And, I am in the running for the football pool!  Yay, me.  I just have to win both games Monday night and get the points right.  (Yeah, right...)

For my supper, Ron chunked me up 2 of the orange tomatoes that Corgan had given me for Grandparent's Day, and we did have some ice cream and finished off that carton.
Back to the good diet tomorrow!


9/8

I woke up this morning just after 10, and I read a little before getting up.  When I got up, I went uptown and picked up the birthday present that Ron bought for me (the one he has no idea what it is, until I show him!), then went down to Walgreens for a prescription, Kroger for his tonic water and bananas, then I stopped at Bob Evans and had some lunch.  I wanted their chicken salad, but since it's after Labor Day, they don't have it any more - boo! - so I finally settled on a Sunshine Skillet, with, of course, banana nut bread.
I came back home and just played on the pute for the rest of the afternoon.  I figure I can play Happy Homemaker tomorrow, why start now?  There's nothing planned for tomorrow - only Wednesday and Thursday - so I can do my bit tomorrow.  That's good enough for me!

When Ron gets home, about quarter after 7, he asks me "Why aren't you watching the game?"  Oh, hell!  I didn't realize it was so late, and I didn't realize the game(s) were on already!  Yes, there are TWO Monday Night Football games on tonight, one starting at 7, one at 10 or so.  Wow!  So, for a change, I am the one who turns on the TV!
We make hamburgers for supper, which we have with a can of pinto beans and chunked tomatoes.  No carbs.  Trying to do this right...

Not a happy camper right now...I lost the first game.  Well, let me re-phrase.  The team I said would win, lost.  Yikes - I needed victories!  I did okay on points, though, so that's good.  We'll see how this second game goes...
