Went to the doctor today for another shot at trying to figure out this baby makin' business. I was pretty please seeing as this doctor actually sent me on my way with a "plan of action" as opposed to all the others that just said "I don't know what to tell ya, just keep trying." Yeah, those other doctors are sooooo fired!

I already really liked this doctor because last year she got me off of what I bitterly refer to as "the fat pills". For 6 years I had been asking doctors why I couldn't stop gaining weight and why nothing I did helped me to loose it. And every time I was told that it was me. - They said I was not eating right, not exercising right, blah, blah, blah. I tried to explain to them that I really was trying, but they just kept blowing me off. I even specifically asked them if it could be my medication and they denied it. Then my pal Becky referred me to her doctor and I figured I give it a shot.

This is basically how my conversation with this doctor went:
DR. - "What are you in for?"
ME - "I can't stop gaining weight and nothing I do helps. I'm taking medications A and B."
DR. - "It's your meds. Try this instead."
ME - Ok!

That was it! In less than 5 minutes! And then I lost 20 pounds!
Let me reiterate....those other doctors......sooooooo fired!

Spent the day with mom. We went to a restaurant called The Pizza Shack in Willis that I had never been to and it was really yummy! Jason and Hannah had recommended it to me for the bread pudding, because I happen to be a very big fan of bread pudding. They were right, it was very good. Still doesn't top The Whistle Stop, but very good none the less. And the pasta I had for lunch was really good too. After we were sufficiently "carbed", we made the rounds to the antiques shops in the area.

I met my friends, Mandi N. and Nicole for lunch at Kobe, and well, let me just say that the 3 of us can do some major talking! At one point Mandi went to the restroom and upon returning said "Did you realise that the restaurant is closed?" Apparently this particular restaurant closes for a while between lunch and dinner, and had done so with us in it, and we hadn't stopped talking long enough to even notice. She had run into the owner on the way back to the table and he told her we could stay....so we did....until they brought us dinner menus. At that point we had been there for a little over five hours, and decided we should give up our booth. So we walked across the parking lot to Martinis and More to have ourselves a martini. When we went pay for our drinks the waitress said that they were already paid for. The guy next to us at the bar had paid for them. Now before you go getting the wrong idea, let me say that he was with his girlfriend/date and she was in on it. They were just being nice, so we chatted with them for a bit. After about 3 hours there we called it a night since a band started up and we couldn't hear each other talking any more. After I got home B and I watched a movie.

Mandi and I went to the movies to see Sex and the City and we happened to run into Nicole (the other gal with us last night) and one of her friends, so the 4 of us sat together. I liked it even thought I was disappointed that my favorite character, Aiden, wasn't in it. I knew he wouldn't be, but one can always hope. I've always hated that "Mr. Big" and wanted Aiden and Carrie to end up back together in the end. Oh well, I still liked it. I've heard that some people were disappointed, but whatever! - It was just like the tv show. I won't say anymore so that I don't spoil it for anyone that may be planning on seeing it. Oh, and some people have only seen the TBS edited for tv version of the show - if the edited version is too racey for ya - might want to skip the movie. But surely that's no big surprise!

Today my sweetie and I did a little grocery shopping and switched out our Blockbuster movies that we have had forever. I think we are going to cancel our Blockbuster Pass since we don't rent movies enough anymore to make up for it. We're thinking we'll just do Netflicks, and if we want something right away, there's two Red Box's right by our house that we can rent from for $1. After shopping we went home and made ourselves a fancy dinner for two and watched one of our movies. It still counts as a date when you're at home, right?

So, my insomnia has been back in full force this past week, and I guess it finally caught up with me, cause I didn't have the energy for much of anything today. I did a little laundry, a little cleaning, had a really long IM chat with my friend in Alabama, updated blog, and played around on the internet. And I watched one episode of Top Chef that took about 5 hours because I kept stopping to do something, or read something, or write something. Basically, I did a whole lotta sitting on my tush today. But I was in good company.....
