Energy!!!

So yeah I have had crazy amounts of energy the last week. I had another crazy busy weekend that did not involve any morning sickness.

Friday I took Steven and Alexis out for dinner at Olive Garden, which is one of our favorite places to go. We had pretty decent meal, and good time just being a family. After dinner we ran up to Walmart to pick up a few things. One thing in particular was an electric massager for my neck to loosen up the muscles in it. I don't know if I'm seriously stressing out or what, but my neck and head muscles are so tight and tense that I've had an on again and off again headache for two weeks. The doctor said to try Tylenol, heat, and massages to help, but none are working. I may go to a professional massage therapist if the pain persists much longer. When we got home we caught the end of Flashpoint, and then Numbers. I think I may now have two days a week that I have to watch TV programs.

Okay, so who knew the nerdy guy from "10 Things I hate about You" was going to turn out to be cute and have an awesome TV show? He's number guy in Numbers, in case you didn't know.

Saturday started off great! I got up and took Alexis and Steven to church at 9:00. I then had the whole morning to myself. I went crazy and went to several stores pricing stuff for Becky's wedding. I started with Hobby Lobby. I literally walked in their door at 8 past 9:00 and didn't leave until 10:00. I walked through the store at least twice, but at least I made a killing while I was there. I bought a $60.00 beverage dispenser for $30.00 and some material to make a baby blanket. Then I drove across the highway over to Office Depot to look for invitations and I found some I like, but they were a little pricey. While I was there Becky called and we talked for probably 45 minutes total. Put it this way when we finally hung up and had already left Office Depot, and had gone to Garden Ridge and had been walking through there for at least 20-30 minutes. Which at Garden Ridge I found three or four more styles of beverage dispensers that I really liked, but I had already bought one so I had to say "no".

After Garden Ridge I ran over to Target and Party City and priced the supplies for the shower and then more invitations. I didn't really find any invitations at Target that I liked and they were also too pricey, but there were some at Party City that might just work.

By this point it was nearly 12:00 and me and the baby were starving after having walked for 3 hours straight. We stopped at Long Silver's and ate real quick before driving across another highway and going to Macy's. I have a gift card for Macy's and I thought I might b able to find a beverage dispenser there that I could use it on. However after wandering around for 20 minutes the only one that I could find was made of acrylic, and looked very plasticky and was priced at $100. Sorry it wasn't worth $100 in my book, let alone to use my gift card on and then have to pay more, so I left it right where I found it.

Well my time was running out because I had to pick Alexis and Steve up at 1:00, so I only got to make one more stop and it was at Costco. I got to price some cakes, and flowers, and couple of other things while I was there. OMG!!! Costco on a Saturday is crazy! I can't believe I managed to ever get a parking spot and actually make it inside to look around. Once I did though I had to power walk through the entire place because my time was slipping away quickly.

I managed to leave Costco and get back to the church by 12:53. Of course once I got there I ended up waiting another 20-30 minutes because Steven wasn't done helping the stage crew yet. Once we got in the car I began talking about my morning in super fast girl talk. Steven said "You must have had a enjoyed yourself because you haven't talked this much in I don't know how." He's not as impressed with my beverage dispenser, but he's a guy.....it's to be expected.

All in all I had an excellent Saturday morning.
