READY FOR A HOLIDAY!

SHE WAS READY TO RUN THE RACE.

SUNDAY WILL BE A DAY OF REST FOR ME AS I NEED TO GET REFRESHED.  THANKFUL FOR THAT.  We spent Friday driving to HAYS, KANSAS to spend the night at a Motel as we attended the Saturday STATE CROSS COUNTRY MEET at VICTORIA.

We stopped by HOBBY LOBBY buying our GRANDchildren Christmas ornaments.  Each year I give them one.  I have only one more to get as a new GRANDbaby will come in November and I want to get a Baby's First Christmas ornament.  Will have to do some more looking for this one.  I like giving these to the kids around THANKSGIVING TIME each year.  Shopped at Dollar Tree.   

We ate SUPPER at a Steakhouse then went back to the Motel to watch TV.  We ended up watching a creepy movie which we didn't finish because it was just plain awful.  Not much for creepy movies.  Never have been.  Next came the 2010 Comedy movie DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS.  Knowing I had seen it before, I wanted something lighter to watch than Creepy Features, green haired women wrestlers with fish net stockings, sports, or crime shows.  So DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS it was. 

Slept in comfort.  GOT UP EARLY, had a light breakfast then drove to Victoria for the Meet.  Found parking then walked a ways to the START LINE.  Always saying hello to our GRANDdaughter before a race.  She did so well.  We were very excited for her.  She placed!  

Her season is over for now.  It goes down in the books as a super good season.  SO very proud of her and the team she is a part of. 

AFTERWARDS, we watched the awards ceremony and got back on the road.  LUNCH at Salina's Olive Garden.  I was a good girl and only ate half of my pasta.  I doubled up on the salad and when I asked the waitress for olives as we had none in our wonderful salad, she told me that they didn't have any.  Must be one of those shortages happening from the suppliers.  No black olives for me. 

We went to SAMs next to pick up a few supplies including black olives.  Hubby said that if he were the manager of OG and ran out of olives, he'd go across the street buying some from SAMs.  I survived no olives in my salad, but didn't like it as this is one of their ingredients in their famous salads.

NO OLIVES AT A RESTAURANT KNOWN BY THE NAME Olive Garden.  No olives.  This was a first for me.  No olives.  Oh well...

WHEN at SAMs I noticed a robot floor sweeper.  

Another first for me.  Struck me kind of strange.  When at SAMs, you can check yourself out, which we usually do and now there's a new sweeper in town.  No one is driving this.  Will it ever malfunction and hurt someone?  It might.

 

WE GOT HOME LATE.  Ate a toasted bagel with garlic butter and pimento cheese spread on it.  This hit the spot.  Tomorrow I'll be using the slow cooker for a Pot Roast with root vegetables.  I'm prepping for another round of the DANIEL FAST/DIET starting on Monday.  Quick eat some ice cream.

I am aiming to lose ten more pounds and lowering my A1c before December 1st.  Wish me luck.  No dairy or meat for 21 days.  

I hope I can do this again. 

Halloween has snuck up on me.  Tomorrow is that day that many ignore, but to me I look forward to the little ones who are wearing costumes ringing our door bell for a treat.  We didn't participate last year due to co vid.  I have candy on hand this year and will share.

ANOTHER WONDERFUL DAY,
