Then we wandered around some more and made our way to the music and DVD's. I explained to Simon that in the olden days people would go to "stores" to "buy" music. Man, I remember the joys of working at B&N in the music department with their huge selection. Even if prices were higher than just about anywhere else it was worth being able to find just about anything a person like myself would want. Not so anymore. They have maybe a third of what they had back then. I found an album that had a pretty cover so I scanned it to listen. Then I put the headphones on Simon (just for a few seconds because yes, I know it's not great for his little ears) and he did his shoulder thing. He loved it and hollered when I'd take them off.
So we went to the 3 kids CD's they had and listened to a couple. Simon liked them all but this was Mommy's favorite. We ended up with this:
And I hung an actual piece of artwork! That required measuring! And two nails! I'm so proud of myself. I loathe having to measure to hang photos & art so I kinda never do it. The walls are bare of most everything. But we have a good wall where I want to hang some nice family pictures and the Family Proclamation my in-laws gave us for Christmas.
I made a real grown up dinner. Out of whole foods. Simon had grilled chicken, grapes, and cheese. I had this huge salad and some whole wheat toast. I dined on this while we listened to the music:
After that it was bath and bed and Simon went to sleep without making a peep! Can you believe it? What's even more amazing is I did a bit of exercise. Nothing too crazy, just 15 minutes of Wii Sports. But I did do boxing which counts for something. Seriously, I've got to lose me some serious weight. I got my Simon shirt in the mail and it looked huge until I tried it on. Am I really that big? This hospital life is not doing my body any favors.
Then I sat down at the computer and started blogging where I wrote about everything I did this evening and uploaded some unnecessary pictures. And finally I quit beating a dead horse and ended the post.
