day off

yesterday i talked about how excited i was about my brother calling me from daytona super speedway during nascar testing. i had to laugh at knit 'n nascar because she nearly go chills just reading about me hearing the roar of the motor. lol...i gotta love her b/c she sounds like a true fan.

she did pose the question of whether elliott would be clean-shaven or scruffy. i know he was growing his beard for hunting season towards the end of the 2007 nascar schedule. here's some fan pics on the sadler fan club site. there's some scruffy and clean-shaven pics of him. he's a cutie pie any way you look at it....lol. the lucky girl in the picture with elliott and blake shelton is a friend of mine here locally. she has this knack for being in the right place at the right time to see elliott. she said she always looks for him at blake shelton concerts because they are such good friends. elliott has been in a couple of blake's videos too.

i went to see dr. b today. he said my knee was continuing to improve. he still encouraged me to hurry up and get on a exercise routine. i told him about the chair lift at the aquatic center and he said i needed to pester them...lol. he was happy to hear i had lost 20 pounds so far. he said to keep up the good work. :)

after i left his office i went over to borders to check out the latest knitting magazines and look at some of the knitting books. it was nice and relaxing. i have missed going to the bookstore and hanging out. i need to do that more often. for some reason i feel refreshed and inspired afterwards.

i'm doing good today on my ww points. i avoided the pitfall of the goodies at borders cafe. i almost got the apple dumpling to eat just half of it and take the rest home. the lady who waited on me pulled out the nutritional guide to give me the breakdown of calories, fat, and fiber. when i saw 21 g of fat, i said no way. i opted for a biscotti and a sugar free vanilla latte with fat free milk. when i calculated the points on the ww website, i came up with 4 points for the snack. i did pretty good if i do say so myself. i didn't plan properly and bring snacks, but i did manage to avoid a sabotage. i've got enough points left for a good dinner and a nice snack this evening.

i'm a little sleepy right now due to having to take some allery/sinus pills. i was sneezing and congested earlier today and needed some relief. i think i'm going to take a little 30 minute nap to recharge some. i want to try and get more done on dad's wwi balaclava. after a nice nap, i'll be ready to go. :)
