Goodnight all Off to watch AI

I had a very nice surprise in one of our stores today. While I was shopping for a baby shower gift in one of our dept. stores here one of the cashiers walked up to me and asked me if i was 55 years old because they have a 55 and older club. You get an additional 10% off everything you buy on the first Tuesday of every month. I found an adorable 5 piece set for the new baby on the way and when I looked it was 50% off--Then I got an additional 10 % off that for being a senior. So I got the baby another gift --a chrome picture frame in the likeness of Noah's arc that she is decorating the baby's room with and got 10% off that too. But the other nice part of this was when i told the woman that i wasn't 55 but 65. She said--oh my--I was afraid i wouldinsult you by asking you if you were 55. You sure don't look that old. So that made my day!!!

No going to the gym this week. I think I am getting tired of pushing myself and need a break.

Breakfast:
1 cup coffee--half reg and half decaf.
1 T. half and half
1 slice LC toast
1 tsp butter
3 slices crisp bacon.

Lunch:
Had a fish filet at McDonalds minus bun
Small diet coke

Pm snack:
lc fudgesicle

Dinner:
Topping off a frozen pizza
24 ounces water

Working on another bottle of water and will have at least 50 ounces down before bedtime.

Good night all.
