Feeling accomplished

Today was a very good day. I feel like I accomplished a lot and that always makes me feel great :-) Chris and I were out and about most of the day, towing Elijah along as well. He is still not 100%, but he's doing a lot better which is a huge relief. So we went out and got a new title for my car and Iowa plates (lame) and then we went and got our Iowa drivers licenses (I know, I am not really proud of that fact...). But the cool thing is that in Iowa you get your license on the spot, they make it right there. You don't have to wait 6 weeks for it to come in the mail like in MN. Plus I have to say my picture was pretty good, so I'm excited about that :-P The things that amuse me, I tell ya... Later in the day we also ran over to Toys R Us because we needed some new stuff for Elijah and I wasn't sure if they had baby stuff in there too, and they sure did! So we got what we needed and we also looked through the clearance clothes and got him a little outfit and some little slippers that velcro on the top so we'll actually be able to get them on his fat feet :-)

Then this evening we left the kiddo with grandma and went over to Shawn and Rachel's house for dinner. It was delicious! Rachel is a Pampered Chef consultant so she has lots of their stuff which I am really jealous about. I was just considering doing the Pampered Chef thing a couple months ago, but I don't see that happening any time soon... A girl can dream... Anyway we had a delicious dinner and then some cake and ice cream in honor of my up-coming birthday :-) Then we played some Texas Hold'em, which is always great. Unfortunately we didn't use real money, which isn't quite as fun. However it was fortunate this time since Rachel wiped everybody out...

So it is the weekend which is great, I'm looking forward to not having to do anything tomorrow. Although if it is nice enough out I would like to get out and do something since we've been sick in here all week. Tyler's fiance Stephanie is coming to visit for the weekend tomorrow so that will be fun to have some more company. Then of course Sunday is my birthday which is always exciting. We are going to go bowling Sunday night - Quarter Mania at Westdale - woop, woop!

So I was yawning all night starting at like 8 and now it is nearly midnight and I am WIDE awake and not interested in going to bed at all. But I'm sure I won't get very much sleep since I never do since my baby wakes up several times a night, so I really should go to bed. I tell ya... OK now I think I am tired again... :-P

Well, sorry for the boring post, oh readers of mine... I'll try to make something more interesting happen to me so I can tell more entertaining stories. Toodles!
