Per my cousin SueTee's request...the word of the day is back. She actually stumped me yesterday by mentioning something made her "noxious"...i quickly replied it was nauseous...not noxious...but she clued me in to her new word...thus inspiring me to bring back the word of the day!

I did the unthinkable today. I went to lunch alone. I've never sat at a restaraunt alone before, so I was a bit apprehensive. But, I was craving thai food in a serious way, and didn't think any one of my usual lunch pals could join me on such short notice. It was actually pretty painless. I sat there, ate my lunch, made my grocery list, and scoped out the other lonely losers who were doing the same thing.

So, my fortune cookie today said, "an upward movement initiated in time can counteract fate." i don't believe in fortune cookies or horoscopes...but that one hit home...since i am hoping for an upward movement at the moment.

So mother's day is in 2 days...I still have no present. This is because i have the most hard to please mother ever. i typically take her to eat...cuz that truly is the way to her heart, although she usually complains about the food. this time she said she wanted a massage, so i booked her a very-hard-to-find-appointment. only to hear that it conflicted with her fasting and prayer meeting. So, I had to cancel it and now I'm back to square 1.

Happy weekend all...
