Or, Thank God They're Tiling Today. Varr and his sister are upstairs working on the bathroom floor. Yay. Yesterday was made completely of boredom and annoyance. We never went walkies, there was munching all day, no one got out of their pajamas until after 11am and we spent an hour watching Varr play Lego Harry Potter on the Wii before moving on to a documentary about the fall of the Third Reich, and then, finally watching Tangled. I eventually convinced Varr to take me out to Velona, the hippy dippy health food store, frozen yogurt and Petco. Waffle has a new harness, I got some yarn, and we got some awesome smoked tomato hummus and some guacamole. When we got home around 3pm, Danelle was finally showered and dressed and we headed off to Disneyland for dinner at Blue Bayou. Varr and I did not split a dinner and we had some ugliness where he blamed me for being stupid when he was the one mis-using a term (no dear, I'm not playing games with you, we talked about filet and short ribs all day and the NY strip you are now talking about is neither of those things), but then we went on some rides and it was pretty cool.
8pm is really early for the park to close. And it doesn't really. There were still people in line and on rides at 8.05 and by the time we made it to the front, there were still tons of people in line at the ice cream place. There were actually still people trying to head into the park from the parking garage when we finally got there. I think the best part of Disneyland is how rarely you walk into a cloud of cigarette smoke. Unfortunately, there are LOTS of perfume clouds. It's kind of the opposite of Estrella. Lots of people walking around with cigarettes there, not so much with the wearing body spray and cologne and all that crap.
I've been doing okay on watching my diet. Danelle is on board and likes what I've been making. Varr's in vacation mode and wanting ice cream and burgers and snacks and stuff. We've been walking though. I think tomorrow I'm going to take my camera and get some pics of the park we've been using. There's trees and ponds and ducks. Jack has been chasing the ducks. Thank heavens for the leash, cause he can almost get them and I have no idea what would happen next. There's another path closer to the house that runs up a little canyon through a bunch of trees and past a creek. It's pretty, but it's almost entirely uphill and I thought my heart was going to pop like a balloon. It's also less than half of what we normally walk. I'm not sure how I feel about doing that one again. I did actually recover faster than I thought I would on the downhill stretch back home, but I was sucking wind at the top.
While the tiling is happening, I'm fixing to run down to Ralph's so I can grab a lime for teriyaki green beans and I need to look for some form of fizzy beverage. I'm still trying to cut back on the diet Coke, but I really like the carbonation. I'm going to try looking for the fruit flavored seltzers with no sugar, or maybe just plain and I can mix it with tea or something. We picked up a huge thing of strawberries at Costco and I can float a couple of those in my glass. I love it when they do it at the yogurt shop, I might as well do it at home.
And now, they're done tiling for today, so my Blossom time is over. Alas. I think Varr's going to buy me a new desperately needed undergarment or two though, so I'm good with that.
