And it's back to the norm...

Fall break...was great. :D
Friday afternoon, I went ice skating with Kristina and Megan...I was on the ice for an hour, and I didn't fall once! That's a record!!! :D Then we went back to Kristina's and finished a 3D puzzle, then since Kristina had to work, Megan and I went to Panera and had one of their Crispanis. It was really good. Then we went back to Megan's, where I got my way belated birthday gift...a knitting caddy and a three foot wide puzzle of Times Square :D And we did a puzzle while watching Desparate Housewives (we tried to watch AMC, but her recording thinger was a butthead and didn't record it).
Saturday morning was Nate's parade, where the whole band marches in costumes. It was cute. He wanted to be the guy from scream, but as he couldn't play with the mask on, he had to settle for just the cloak. And he has short dark hair and wears glasses...he looked like Harry Potter! heeheehee
Then my mom, Nate and I went shopping...I finally have my printer and running shoes, a birthday gift for my roomy, my watch had its extra links taken out, plus I found Uncle Buck and Kindergarten Cop for five bucks apiece :D annd when I was at Famous Footwear for the shoes, I saw *the* most ADORABLE heels ever...brown and closed besides a little v in the front for some toe cleavage ;) and the heel part looks like stacked wood...maybe I'm not the best shoe describer, but these things were drop dead gorgeous. So I went to look at the price...regular fifty, on sale for thirty five, and they're Steve Maddens!!!!! :D :D Needless to say, I got them right then and there with hardly a second thought. :D :D :D
Saturday night was a wonderful spaghetti dinner with garlic bread, and homemade cake for dessert :) with some general relaxing and hanging around afterwards.
And for my animals...Tink ignored me for a day, then warmed up to me, then started ignoring me again when I started packing. As soon as I walked in the door, Snoopy freaked out and ran around me in circles and we had a pretty intense game of keep away :)
I also made *the* best discovery ever. I have broken a record...for the most I've ever weighed. By TWO pounds. Yup. The scale said 112!!!!!! :D :D :D I've gained weight for the first time since...jr high, I think. SIX whole pounds!!!!!! WOO HOO. Now I'm only six pounds under weight..but it's the closest I've ever been to being at a normal weight in a loong time. It's definetly an improvement from this time last year when I lost a bunch thanks to marching knights and general stress and was down to 95. *dances around* I'm probably one of the only people around to get excited about gaining weight. But I am. And I have this knee length skirt that goes perfectly with my new heels that's a 3, so it's always been big on me...it fits perfectly now. The waist doesn't want to slide around, and it looks like I have a rear end in it :D :D :D YAY!!! :D :D
I started running today...I love it. It's a better stress reliever than yoga right now. Of course, I'll probably end up losing most of what I gained *grumbles* that's usually how it goes. But oh well. I like running too much to not do it at regular intervals.
I got the dreaded RE test results back today. While it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, it's still not good by any means. But there's still two tests, a paper and a ton of homework to go, so I can pull that grade back up. I'm determined NOT to stress about it, and so far that's going over pretty well.
And on with the rest of the day...
