A day in the life of Laurie

So someone told me that I needed to blog more and I said, well if I don’t have much to say what do you want me to blog about. Her response–your life…what you do each day. So Amanda, here you go–you asked for it.
Monday 11-19-07
I woke up at 5:00 am when the alarm went off–well, I actually got out of bed at 5:18am then I took a shower and got ready for work. I ate some breakfast while Presley spent some time doing her business outside in the backyard. Around 6:10 I left for work and drove all the way to Dallas. Just kidding, it’s not that bad of a drive. I arrived to work around 6:45 and got started calibrating all our machines and printing out our schedule sheet for the day. The day wasn’t too bad, it was busy in the morning but not at all in the afternoon. About 2:30 I left the wonderful world of Children’s Medical Center and went to the Carrell Clinic for physical therapy on my shoulder with Rosanne. She gave me some exercises and stretches to do that will help with my shoulder and hopefully I won’t have to go back because it can get pretty expensive–especially when you’re already paying 3 hospital bills. After PT I left and drove back home to Red Oak. I got home and aired up mine and Jonathan’s bike tires and looked at my brakes because they have been sticking. But by the time we were ready to ride it was dark so that didn’t happen. I started chopping up the veggies for dinner and once Jonathan got home we started cooking dinner. We made a veggie dish–well what was supposed to be a egg, veggie Quiche I think, it was okay but I’d be completely fine never eating it again. After we ate dinner and cleaned the dishes (about 6:30) I made Jonathan pick between two colors to paint the dinning room. I think that was too much stress and if it were up to him we would keep white walls everywhere. I told him the walls are getting painted either way so you can either give me your input with color and tell me if you don’t like one or I’ll just pick. Fair enough, right? Well we finally picked a color so we got in the car and drove to Home Depot. On the way we took some food to Richard and Ambers for Richard to take one of his students for a Thanksgiving dinner and we ended up staying there for a while just talking. So after we got the paint I figured well it’s too late to start painting tonight so we went to Marble Slab and got some frozen yogurt–and it was good! Then we came home and I taped off the edges of the trim on the wall and I’m all ready to start painting. That was my day–very exciting I know. Today is going to be just as exciting as yesterday–except when I get home today I’ll start painting and then at 6:30 go to our small group and have some great mexican food and play some games. We normally do a bible study but with thanksgiving this week we decided to take a break.
