Those are just a couple of my ideas.

Weighed myself, and then ate my oatneal only to realize today is Sunday I could have had my pancakes. gggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrr

So I am gonna try to get back to a workout routine on Monday. The pain in my hip is gone and hopefully will stay gone. I have missed being able to exercise, it makes me fell so much better.

I just got home. *deep sigh*
Tru...did you hear the nickel hit the ground? Haha!! Just kidding!!! I think my mom superglued it to my knees. Hehehe!
Time for me to tell you about our date. Let me set the mood for you...
We found a secluded shady spot right next to a creek at the gorgeous Sioux Park.
I laid out the quilt that I have saved for my someday wedding that I made a few years ago. Then I sat down on the quilt with Mike right next to me. I opened the picnic basket and showed him the strawberries, champagne grapes and the sourdough bread bowl that was filled with hot cheese fondue. Then I opened the baggie with the bread cubes. I handed him a fondue fork and I took one and we took turns feeding each other and sipping on non-alcoholic champagne. After a bit we switched to the strawberries and the grapes. More champagne. All the while this is going on I am literally biting my bottom lip. There were a few kisses here and there too. The background noise was the gentle sounds of the creek flowing. It was the MOST romantic thing EVER. Folks. I am talking EVER!
After we ate and snuggled for a while we decided to do some window shopping which was nice and sweet. Then we went to my house so we could enjoy some time with my family. That was very nice.
After that, I took him home and we sat in the SUV and smooched a bit.
I just talked to him on the phone and he is burning me three CDs with his favorite love songs. He said he is listening to every single word in the songs to make sure it is saying what he wants me to know about how he feels about me. Now tell me people. Is there anything sweeter than this?? I think not.
My mom left me a note that said that she is so happy for us and will be planning our Spring wedding. *shakes head* My mom is just eating this up. As far as I can say there is not going to be a Spring wedding. My mom does not agree with me. LOL!
I am so happy and I have never loved like I love now. It is amazing.
So, there you go. Missy's picnic date in a few words.
I hope you enjoyed the date as much as I did. Hehehe!
