Loving life

Life is like a bicycle,
In order to keep your balance
you must always keep moving...

I have had the best 2 days! Thanksgiving as I posted was awesome! Then today I went with my friend Kristie & we took our friend Michelle's dog to the vet since Michelle & her family are out of town in Phili until Monday. Onyx was really sick, when we first saw her, we thought maybe she had a stroke. But when we took her to the vet, they think it may be something like people get which is called vertigo. It's called something else in dogs. Onyx is 14 years old & what a sweet dog she is. She hates car rides, but sat on a blanket on my lap both ways to & from the vet & she just gave me tons of kisses & curled up in my arms. She got home & the young girl that is taking care of her came out of her house to see Onyx. Onyx was so excited to see her, she started wagging her tail. She took her pill and even ate. I was so glad she was doing so much better. She was like a different dog, it was amazing.

Then tonight my friend Kris came over. I had made pulled pork in the crock pot with pork chops. We had a nice spinach salad too! It was so good.  Lexi & her friend even ended up having some & really enjoyed it. Which is really surprising because Lexi will not eat pork willingly. So I was glad she tried it & loved it.

Then we watched Magic Mike, which I had seen already! It was good to watch it again & Kris had fallen asleep in my chaise chair. She was joking that she always falls asleep in that chair. Whenever she comes over, she always falls asleep in it & NEVER watches the movie that we have rented! LOL It reminded me of when both she & I were unemployed at the same time and I had, had foot surgery and she used to come over & Hang out with me while I Recuperated & she would fall asleep if I feel asleep from my pain meds & she was always in that chair! Kris is one of my closest friends. We can talk about anything, with no judgment. She gets me & I get her. We tell each other things that we would never think of sharing with anyone else. Those types of friends are far & few between & I have only a select few like that. But Kris, she knows my heart. I can share with her my deepest & darkest secrets. I have 2 other friends that I can share such things with too. Like I said just a select few.

I did really well with my food today. Had all 3 meals. Had coffee & a small piece of the butter braid from yesterday for breakfast this morning. Then for lunch, I had a turkey sandwich with some sweet potatoes for lunch. And then a pulled pork sandwich & the spinach salad. We had some nacho's & salsa, but I didn't have a lot. It was just a nice relaxing evening.

Now, I'm heading to bed. I am so tired since I didn't nap today & had slept terrible last night.
Larry Hagman who played JR Ewing on the tv show Dallas died today. So sad, he was a great actor. He was the guy you loved to hate! He also played on I Dream of Jeanine! God Bless him, he was 81 years old and died of cancer.
He is definitely going to be missed on that show. I kind of like the new Dallas show they have on now. I don't watch it all the time, but I do like it.

Well that's it here. Lexi has a friend sleeping over, they are hanging out upstairs & my house is quiet. Looking forward to hopefully sleeping in. Going to shut the ringer on my new phone & hopefully sleep past 8:30. I'm hoping more like 10. Boy would that be nice. One can only hope.

I never put up my Christmas decorations today. Going to wait until next week. I am going to buy a real tree. This will be a first for Lexi & I. Her Dad & I had a real tree once, but this will be nice. I threw my old tree away last year after Christmas. It was 10 years old and it was time. I am definitely going to decorate more than I did last year because I had my friend Joe & Lexi decorate so I didn't put up more than my tree because the tree was so beautiful, I didn't want to take away from that. But this year it's on!!!! Can't wait!!!

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend & if some of you have gone out shopping, more power to you! I hate the crowds & you will not see me out there on Black Friday or anytime over the weekend after Thanksgiving shopping! HATE IT! It kills the Christmas spirit for me because people are so rude! I remember back in the day when I worked in retail, actually I did for almost 10 years and I hated how people lost the Christmas spirit in the malls during this time.

Thanks for stopping by & I'll be back tomorrow!!!

Godspeed!
