Total Regret

DAY 104

This morning my co-worker Elaine had a Sonic drink and breakfast french toast sticks that she was munching on through out the day. I kept eye balling her drink and thinking how badly I wanted a Large Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper with easy ice. This use to be my go to drink at Sonic before I moved to Hawaii and I would always get a Bacon, Egg & Cheese Toaster Sandwich cut in half with a side of Tater Tots. Since we've been back on the mainland I've only been to Sonic a couple times & that was in Texas, shocking I know right. Well I gave up soda almost a year ago now and I haven't touched one since. (FEB. 1st will be a year.) Other than the breakfast sandwich I've never really been one for there food. Shakes and Drinks yes. So there's not much of a reason for me to go there, plus trying to cut out greasy fast food is another reason to stay away. Other than Chick-Fil-A!!!!

 After we got our kids down for there nap the three of us were sitting around talking about fast food and soda and it only made me it that much more hungry. I was sold, I had to get Sonic for lunch I could taste it on the tip of my tongue, I wanted it that bad. I rushed over to drop off the rental car and picked up our Subaru thankfully I didn't have to wait long because I only had a hour. The body shop is about 15 minutes from were I work, add another 5-10 minutes there then a 15 minute drive back that left about 20 minutes for me to grab some lunch. I was still determined to get Sonic, I knew in my head I would hate myself for it afterwards but at the time I didn't care. 
I went with my old bacon, egg & cheese sandwich, a side of tater tots and a Oreo shake. I was in heaven.....well for about the next 25-30 minutes that is. After I got back to work I was totally feeling my lunch, my stomach felt try crap and I just knew I was going to be sick. I wanted to take back eating that horrifying "delicious at the time" lunch. But I couldn't, lesson learned and I will not be revisiting Sonic for any lunches.  Shakes maybe but that would be my only reason to go there, even then the location that is near us I very rarely pass by it so half the time I forget we have one here. 
Thankfully I had Zumba tonight so I was "hopefully" able to work off all that crap I had eaten.

Just another day

DAY 103


Nothing to exciting happened today other than the fact that the hubbs got home at a decent time. Even before I got back from the gym. SWEET!!!!!!! He had called me while I was still at spin class to let me know he was on his way home & to see if I needed anything. I tell ya I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Since school has started for him out time together has been far & few. I keep telling myself its only temporary but its still hard. You get use to someone being there all the time and then all of a sudden thats changed. He's been having to study a lot which is a given seeings they have so much to learn and he is only getting a few hours of sleep at night. We've heard that after a couple weeks in to the course they will have Saturdays off as well, right now he just has Sundays off. So I'm really looking forward to that and hoping that change happens soon. 
We got a call this evening that our car will be ready to for pick up tomorrow, thank goodness. I'm really not digging this rental car. I driving a Kia Soul which is so not me, it was that or a PT Cruiser. I should have made the hubbs drive the rental & I take my car back but since he all his gear and bags in the Chally we just decided we would switch back this weekend. No reason to switch back for 2-3 days and then do it again. 


It was Mexican night for dinner at our home. We've been trying out new meals for the last couple days I gave this Mexican Casserole a try. It turned out really good, between the both of us there wasn't any left overs.  We will definitely be making this one again in the near future.

DAY 89

Every morning the hubbs will come give me a hug and kiss goodbye before he heads out to PT. He always wishes me a good day and says he can't wait till 5pm. (when we both get off work) Of course now this is at like 4:30-5:00 O'clock in the morning so needless to say I'm still a bit out of it and sleepy. So on my way to work in the morning a few hours later I will text him and tell him how much I love him and that I hope he has a better day then the one before. And of course I as well tell him how I can't wait till quitin time!!!!!! "OH IT'S 5 O'CLOCK SOME WHERE" He will always text back when he gets a free minute and it just makes me smile. But not today I had no reply back from my morning drive, lunch time came and went and still nothing from him even after I texted back again. I know he can be pretty busy during the day but that's just not like him to not reply. Well I went back to work and finished out my day, a little worried in the back of my mind hoping everything was ok. When I got off work I quickly checked my phone and there was two messages from him explaining how someone had HIT HIS CAR!!!!! I immediately FREAK and call him to get details, if you know either of us at all you would understand and know that both our cars are like our kids. I guess that's happens when you both drive a $35+k car.

 So from what I understand he was parked were he normally parks and some guy (who happens to be a Caption) was trying to parallel park behind him. When all of a sudden he slammed in to the lovely bumper of our Subaru scratching it up pretty bad :(. A few minutes after he went in to the office looking for the owner of the "white Subaru w/ Hawaii plates". One of the hubbs buddies he works with new he was talking about his car and went and got him. I can only imagine his reaction when the guy was explaining what happen. They went out side to take a look and the guy had already left a note on our car in case he wasn't able to find the owner. I'm so thankful for honest people like him. He could have easily left and drove off not saying a word but he was honest and kind hearted. The hubbs said he wad really nice and the both called USAA right them to file the claim. The crappy part about the whole situation is that the guy had called USAA earlier this morning to file a claim. He lowered his garage door on his car. I really felt bad for him because it really wasn't a great day for him. I hope that his insurance doesn't go up to much. If we had a crappy car and didn't really car we would probably just blow it off but that's not us. We take great pride in taking care of our vehicles and maintaining them. Thankfully we have a appointment on Friday at 2pm to get the car looked at to see how long its going to take to get fixed. I'm hoping it will be a quick fix and we wont have to deal with a rental car. At least we aren't going to be out any money on this one like we were when I hit someone in my blue Chally :( opps.

You have got to be kidding me!!!
