Today started out with a headache that keep me in the bed longer than I wanted to. Once it finally eased up some and I realized it wasn't going to go away I took some meds to make it go away. I'm not big into taking stuff for my headaches cause I had to take so many pills for the problems with my back in the past, and still do sometimes.

Thanks all for the suggestions on the ready packaged rice. I'll give the Uncle Ben's a try. I would do the Trader's Joe too if we had one. And as far as the suggestion for freezing some soup. I have done that but it had been bigger servings. I'll have to do some small ones that I can take. Any suggestions on what is the best freezing package...maybe the Glad wear? I been wanting some taco soup for a while...it would be a good one for me to try.

Now more about yesterday. I ended up not getting enough sleep the night before and had a very hard time getting out of bed. Due to this I got to the meeting well after the starting time so I just did a weigh and go. I peeked in and saw that the room was packed this week. Will be interesting to see what all new faces there are. Next week I am making sure I get to bed early. I have also explained to my DH that I don't sleep in like he does on Saturday mornings and therefore Friday nights are not a good time for us to talk till midnight or later.

Teresa, my best friend (we went to high school together), came over and we made a trip to the next city over about 30 minutes from us. They have a Michael's and she had got a gift card for there at Christmas. First we stopped at Barnes & Noble to have lunch and get a skinny latte. I grabbed a book by an author I like that just came out and then we hit the DVD area. We both got work out DVDs. She was wanting to tone up and I gave her a few suggestions. She got a pilates DVD and I grabbed Walk Away the Pounds. I already have this but it is on VHS and I never use it anymore because it's not on DVD. Purchases made we headed out and on to Michael's. She looked around for cross stitch stuff. I found a few things I was needing. And even found a cute little green beaded bracelet to match my sweater I got for Christmas.

Then it was on to Old Navy. This is the first time I had gone in since they originally built the store. Back then I was at least a 3x in stuff and they had nothing I could wear. I wear 2x right now, some 1x stuff fits but not much. We checked out a few of the cute sweaters there. I found a couple I liked but didn't pick them up till later today. I was so pleased to know that I can wear stuff from there. Mark and I had gone back today and he even got himself a couple of shirts too. They look really nice on him.

After getting out of Old Navy Teresa and I went to the health food store. They didn't have the brand of salmon burgers I was looking for, however they did have salmon burgers called Yukon burgers. I got a pack of them to try. I've never made salmon burgers before. I am trying to decide on how to do it. Maybe with one I will try a dill sauce and whole wheat pita. Anyway...once I do I'll write about it.

Also at the health food store I once again looked at the salt lamps. I have been thinking about getting one for a couple years now. They are suppose to do a lot to help clean the air. So today we had gone back and got one and I have it hooked up in my living room. I would have put it in here in the office but I have a fountain and didn't think the salt would do so good near the water. Plus I am looking into getting their nebulizer and putting it in my office. It isn't like the ones I have seen that you use to breathe in...it's more of a cool mister that you can use to put essential oils into the air. After as much as I have been sick the last couple of years I am ALL for trying out some things to help have a much healthier and happier home....one that keeps the bad buggies away.
