Pancakes, beer koozies and lunar eclipses, oh my!!

Saturday morning, March 3rd, we went to our city's annual customer appreciation pancake breakfast. It's so cool how all the city employees are smiling and cheerful on a Saturday morning. I love to be served pancakes by firemen and police officers. There's just something so....... what's the word.... confusing, no, that's not it..... about it. We've been going to this thing for years and we love it. It's a great time to find out just what the people in engineering (and other who gives a crap departments) do, or to get those little toilet tablets that you can put in your tank to detect a leak, or to find out about local services you just didn't know were even available! I don't remember what the engineering lady told me she did and they weren't giving out the little toilet tablets and I really didn't find out about any new services this year but it was still fun and we signed up for all kinds of freebies and got some really neat beer koozies because, well, you just can't have enough beer related paraphernalia.

Later that night, we went to the Coleman Theatre Beautiful for our second Mystery Tour. Bob had never done it and MWH and I talked it up like crazy to get him there. BIG waste of time. The tour guides were the same as last time but they didn't go into detail about the history or anything. I was terribly sad over it all, it just wasn't nearly as good. We didn't get to sit in the balcony because they were cleaning the chandelier and it just sucked, $30 totally wasted. We did get to see the lunar eclipse though and that rocked.

Now, I know this post is old, it's from March 3rd for crying out loud, and I apologize. I just haven't had TIME to blog. We have been doing so much lately, I'm ready for the world to stop spinning, just for a few minutes.

March 10th, my bestest friend from my shitty child hood and I went out. I've known Terra since we were in 3rd grade and let me tell you she rocks. We spent the ENTIRE day having a blast!! We went to Christie's Toy Box and bought some naughty toys. Let me tell you I saw things in there that made me completely blush beyond belief. Terra has been divorced and single for over 3 years, she's got some cobwebs so she was like a kid in a candy store. I was a bit reserved and embarrassed. We did make purchases though and I'm pretty sure all items purchased have been used at least once. LOL Ok, Terra's probaby used more batteries than me, but hey, whatever floats your boat. LOL

After the naughty store, we went to dinner at Mytho's, a Greek restaraunt that I had been dying to go to. It was very good. Terribly expensive, but VERY good. My boss gave me a heads up on what to order and he was right on the money. Terra can't wait to take a real date there and I can't wait to go again to order something different and more Greek than what Terra and I shared.

I gotta tell you, Terra has two fetishes, one is *soooooooo not gonna tell you* and the other is shoes, high heeled shoes. This girl wears a 5 or a 5 1/2 and she wears heels that are just insane. I don't know how she walks in them but she does. We shoe shopped nearly all day. I'm telling you, she's worse than Carrie from Sex and the City!! There were no shoe stores in Joplin safe from her wrath!!!

Next we hit the mall, yeah, boring, but hey, the girl can shop and anytime you get the two of us together NOTHING is boring, NOTHING!! She shopped so much she had to stop and take a break, her little tiny geisha feet were hurting from her high heeled shoes. LOL

Our last stop was at the theater where we saw Nic Cage in Ghost Rider. OH MY GAWD it was good. Ok, a little too comic bookish if you ask me but HELLOOOOOOO it was made from a comic book so I guess I'll just get over it. There were some scarey images and I definitely wouldn't take a kid under 12 to see it, but it was really good and Sam Elliot was in it too so it rawked. I even amazed Terra with my Nic skills when I told her there would be a lizard and low and behold there was a lizard!!! LOL I don't know why the girl doubts me, ever......

This weekend we worked on the house more. Projects, projects, projects, the are just NEVER going to get done!!

Last week I finished up my second week of physical therapy. I'm not sure if it's helping, I'm still in pain, but the pt guy is going on vacation this week and I see my dr. again this week so we'll see what he says. I did have a 50% mobility when I started and I'm up to 68% now so there is improvement, but for my age I should have 70% or better so I'm still behind.... sheesh, will I ever be normal?

In 10 short days my friends from Wyoming will be here. WOO HOO!!!!!! I'm so excited! We've got so many things to do and see!!

I've got much more to write and say but not enough time and a girl's gotta keep some secrets......
