Wow, Saochick that's an awesome theater. And headphones, too boot?! Only in the UK would they think about being so thoughtful and polite of the neighbors in the evening. I dig it, looks like a great spot.
Dinner plans tomorrow evening with a lady. Nothing serious. Probably pack for vacation tomorrow afternoon. Gotta work on being efficient and pack lightly and wisely! Speaking of efficiency, I went and bought all the little tiny travel toiletries that I'll need for my trip. Very successful after-work outing. Also did laundry. Feeling prepared and "listo".
Also I called my ninety-nine year old grandmother today on my lunch break! She answered and we chatted for 20 minutes, which is a good long spell for her. She sounded good. I am heading up to Minnesota USA to visit her in early July. It will be her 100th birthday and coincidentally my 3-year sobriety anniversary falls just a few days prior. Some great trips planned this summer!
I've been down here for almost a year now. It's definitely become "home" and as you can see from the picture below, it's hard to complain!

I ate ice cream. Enough for everyone. There will be no relapsing on SR tonight if I have anything to say about it.
I spent a lot of money at the grocery store. How does that happen when I live alone?
Oh yeah, meat and monster pak of TP...

I'm in for vicarious vacations and ice cream eating! I miss Blue Bell though 
I always thought unicycles looked so cool but I'd probably kill myself learning to ride one! I can juggle though (not fire or swords, just balls and pins).
Bimini....I have a fear of running out of TP so I always buy gigantic quantities....kind of embarrassing taking it out to the car though....I wish shopping carts had privacy enclosures on them....always feel so exposed.
Gorgeous photo big S!

Beautiful view Big S 
I went to dentist and had a hair cut today. Very exciting, I know. Realized one of my tires is bald, so need that and an oil change tomorrow. Then I work sat and sun. Good news is I have a special dark Hershey bar. Pretty excited about that.
So yup, kinda boring but I'm sober and in a pretty good mood so can't complain. Maybe I'll watch a movie later...any Netflix suggestions?

I get hung up on all the one hour stuff on Netflix. I have 490ish things in my queue and almost never watch movies.
I think I'll watch Despicable Me II - tonight. Maybe. If I get off the forums. (It's not on Netflix.)

Crud! All this talk of netflix reminded me I forgot to watch Through The Wormhole last night! (No it's not on netflix but for some reason talk of netflix triggered a reminder).
Melki.....I used to eat the marshmallows out of Lucky Charms and crunch berries out of the Cap'n Crunch and leave the rest for my siblings.

Then I discovered jars of caramel to add to the ice cream for when I have scooped out all the caramel.
It turned into caramel with ice cream instead of the other way around.
I eventually had to stop.

Omg, Bimini, the dentist/haircut comment made me laugh out loud. That was fantastic.
Some good humor and good ice cream on here tonight. I finally finished my running around and the children are in bed. So I get approximately two seconds of me time. I never get to cook anymore. Blah!
Saoutchik, cool theatre. I like that. It would be so fun to watch a movie there.
BigS, another lovely view. And awesome that you will be around to celebrate your gram's 100th. That's fantastic.
Behan, it wouldn't hurt to see the doctor for a check up. But, could be paws. How long do you have now? I have had a couple of physicals since quitting and it feels good to get a clean bill of health. Mostly. I have high blood glucose.
Tomorrow is work. I'm hoping my mother in law follows through on picking up the kids from school tomorrow. She's backed out the past two weeks which is frustrating.
Brynn, it's very cool that you can juggle. I've tried but just can't seem to get the knack.
