*Frown* That means I have to go back to class and work. I enjoyed my lazy week. I miss plan ole lazy time. Oh well. I need to go make some money for a new digital camera.

Last night, Gail, her son, my father, Matthew, Nicki, and I went to dinner at Carrabba's. It was different than what we usually have. I don't think any of us have eaten there before. My dinner there was the chicken marsala with cavatappi amatriciana. I cleared my plate. Nicki and Matthew were surprised their picky eater sister had the chicken marsala. honestly, I was sick of chicken parmesan. I usually eat that. I also got some minestrone soup, but it just did not look good at all to me. I gave my bowl to my brother. He enjoyed it. Matthew had the mezzaluna. Nicki had the chicken parmesan. My father had the lasagna. I'll eat there again, but I think I like Olive Garden better. At least the Garden has pasta e fagoli. *Yum!* Carrabba's bread and herb/olive oil dip was good. the herbs had the right amount kick for me.

After dinner, we came back to our house and just talked. Well, Matthew had to be dropped off at his friend's home. Since his friends came to town for the summer, he's been off with them quite a bit. Gail brought cheesecake, but I didn't have any. I was too full from dinner. When they left, C.C. got outside. My dad, Beth, and I had to hunt him down in the neighbor's bushes. He was found when the flashlight bounced into his eyes and reflected into my glasses. I don't think I would have seen him if I had contacts on.

Harry's fine as a kitten his age is. Poor kitty, has the runs. *Frown* My father has been his main caretaker. I think Harry has stuck as the name. Matthew called him Dirty Harry. My dad liked that. Gives the kitten a bit of an edge.

i have a 6 a.m "Core" class at my gym that i signed up for. i've never been excited about mondays before but this might be really fun. it's twice a week. undergoing all that testing, the doc appointments, all the bloodwork, etc made me have to skip the gym for a month. ALL my muscle definition went away. (it'll come back but still!) sadly, the testing isn't done yet. i have another appt with my pulmonologist on Tuesday and it's not a followup. it's an appt that was scheduled for late July but had to be bumped up to Tuesday because something new concerned them.

ugh. anyway, that was a long tangent. i'm excited about monday's class. my gym is high-end, very expensive and worth every penny. the Y didn't do it for me anymore so i joined this one in february. the male staff is hot (i think it's a requisite), there are no crowds except for the great classes and no waiting for equipment. on top of that, they have spa-quality shampoo, conditioner and bodywash in all 3 shower stalls. they have deodorant spray, mouthwash, hair products. it's ONE minute away from my work which means other than all this crap going on with me, i have no excuse not to go. it's a great gym!!

makes me kinda excited about mondays!!

MISBAH! I was just thinking about you last week - I was wondering what you've been up to.

I love Carrabba's - but my absolute favorite is Johnny Carino's - do you have one of those - if so, you HAVE to try it - it's sooo good... I always get a Blackberry Cream Soda - yum!

Lynn, no Johnny Carino's in town.

Misbah, the gym at my school is a joke. I wish we had a nce one. I guest those Bay Area people love to be pampered.
