Just Another Thursday

I went to weigh in this morning and I'm down another .8 lbs. This brings my grand total to 25.8 lbs so far. I went to Opry Mills with Emma and my niece Pressley. The High School Musical bear came out this morning at Build A Bear Workshop and Emma just had to have it. We were afraid it would sell out and we would have another Rudolph on our hands. The first year they made Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, they sold out before we could go get one. Bill had to find one unstuffed online so we could take it to the store to stuff it. Of course, this ended up costing us more and made all the people in Build a Bear angry at us that day because our child had a Rudolph and their child did not. Believe it or not, people can be quite nasty over a stuffed animal. To avoid situations like this, we usually try to get the bear she wants when it is first released. Emma is slightly obsessed with Build a Bear and we, her parents, are slightly obsessed with making her happy. We're suckers, but she's such a good kid that we don't mind.

We then rode the train that goes around the mall. I felt guilty because Carson was at my mom's and he would have loved it. We'll have to go back and do it with him. Anyway, Pressley rode it with us. She's fourteen and was really hoping she didn't see anyone from school. It was 10:30 so she was pretty confident that nobody she knew would be out shopping that early! We got to the train late, so she had to sit in the caboose which is open for everyone to see her. I kept saying, "I hope no one sees PRESSLEY LACOURSIERE riding the train." I love giving her a hard time!

On our way home we stopped by Krystal and got lunch for everyone. It was weigh in day, so it is always a splurge day for me. Some days you just need a Krystal and today was that day for me. I enjoyed every bite!

Now I'm home waiting for Bill. He is stopping by the grocery store for a couple of things. After the fattening lunch I will be eating a salad for dinner. Big Brother is on tonight, so I will be trying to get the kids to bed early!
