My morning started at 4 am this morning.  Locking Kitty up in the other room has only worked a few days so far.  Not this morning.  She just wouldn't stop scratching on the other door and this morning, she won.  Since I wasn't able to sleep, I let her out and she came into our room, of course.  She does this thing where she just scratches on the dresser for no reason.  It's annoying.  After 4am, I wasn't able to go back to sleep.  I'm sure I wandered in and out of consciousness, but it sure felt like I got no sleep.  As a result of my tossing and turning, Tyler also didn't sleep well.

I didn't hear Tyler get out of bed when his alarm sounded off.  I pretty much didn't move until he came into the room to kiss me goodbye.  And then I didn't get out of bed for another half hour.  The plan for the day didn't originally have me sleep in, but we all make sacrifices right?

I did get out of bed eventually, and stole a bowl of Honey Nut Cherrios from Ty's stash.  I do mean "steal" because he usually gets mad at me for eating HIS cereal.  The real problem comes in when I have to open a brand new box of Honey Nuts after Tyler has finished the old one in the morning.  It makes it a lot harder to be sneaky with it.  Some times he doesn't notice.

I worked out and got right into the rest of my daily routine and I will spare you with the boring details as they did not consist of much.

I had to prepare supper eventually.  I did that at 3pm and I will tell you something, those rock fish are kind of a giant pain in the butt.  I had to skin the thing and that skin is really slippery and scaly and it was something awful.  I vowed then and there to never do that again.  I will leave the all the fish stuff up to the man of this house.

Tyler came home and the fish was already in the oven and the rice was a cookin'.  The meal ended up really tasty.  It was nice because all the meat just fell off the bones so there seemed to be less of a threat to get stabbed.  I love the rice that we have bought.  It's white (I know not the best healthwise) Jasmine rice from China and it is just so good.

The rest of the night has been spent just doing nothing.  The rest of the Office series came in the mail today, so you can guess what we are doing right now.  It's a funny show, but that's a lot of tv.  It's not so bad, only because it's been really cloudy, rainy and gloomy and there isn't much else to do.

I'm going to once again attempt a mani/pedi on Kitty.  She needs her claws clipped once again.  When I try to clip them, she always pulls those little paws away.  I can get about one done every time I try.  I start when she is sound asleep but she gets wise pretty quickly.

Just a few more days till the first fancy meal I cook.  I'm counting down because it freaks me out a little to be responsible for such a big meal.  Good thing there will only be 4 people there.  I have confidence in it though.  I'm excited for all the turkey sandwiches to follow.  It's going to be good.

We started to buy all the food and snacks this week.  Tyler wanted a bag of salt and vinegar chips for Sunday, and the deal was that he couldn't open them until Sunday.  If he opened them sooner, they would all be gone.  He had a craving and we all believed that he would eat a few chips, then put the bag away.  That bag is now empty in the garbage because it is impossible for Tyler to walk away from a full bag of chips.  It's okay though.  We still have time to go out and buy more salty snacks.

Ready for a nice sleep tonight.  Hopefully without Kitty needlessly scratching on everything.

Wednesday is over and Thursday is coming up quickly.  Ty and I are excited because the Oilers play their first game tomorrow.  I'll be wearing my jersey for sure!!
