Applebee's

OK at long last I finally persuaded A that the whole family journey over to the local Applebee's restaurant for dinner. It certainly helped that A had seen an ad on tv about the 3 things for one low price, ie. you get an appetizer, a main course and a dessert for like $12.99. We both got a kind of alfredo that had grilled chicken and really fantastic brocolli, a small caesar salad, and a chocolate dipped brownie that came with a teeny scoop of vanilla ice cream. N and J both got grilled cheese sandwiches, glasses oof milk, and side dishes of apple sauce. Then afterwards we went to a "play area" at the mall and N&J ran around for 45 minutes and clibed on stuff. It was fun to watch them. And earlier that day A found an amazing winter coat for next year for N that has a hood lined in fauz fur just like my orange arctic parka. I believe tonight she will go shopping to try and find one for J in the right size.

So my plan is to definitely run Tuesdays and thursdays- I was not sore last night from the morning run, just very very tired starting at about 2 pm and went to bed at 9pm. I have been having some trouble falling asleep lately and I wake several times at night.

I had a very disturbing dream last night in which for some reason I had to tie up and leave N near a bush near a house where there was going to be a bomb, but then she came home later and was unhurt. The dream disturbed me, I know that after dinner and play area time, we went to Carson Pirie Scott and N. bumped her head and ran to me crying, so she got hurt under my care, though not badly. Maybe I have a fear that N will get hurt and I will be powerless to stop it? I am not sure, I just know I need continue to keep a close eye on ehre, it is hard though, she is so active and fast.

This morning was pretty cool because even though I was quiet as a mouse getting ready for work, N woke up and gave me lots of hugs and said she just "had to get up" to wave to me out the window.

New Nike running shoes will be released in February so maybe I will go back to the Niketown store and use my Christmas gift cards if I can find something great. And, I just learned that Season 5 of Six Feet Under will be released on dvd March 28th. (saving pennies now)

Lastly, I want to take my friend Brian out for dinner to celebrate his recent birthday.
