Today was a good day

• I was awake before Freddie. He slept from 7.00pm until 6.45 am.
• There was no whining on our 6 mile walk. Why hadn't I thought of bringing books before today?
• I made it to the grocery store without the GPS. It only took 4 trips for me to remember this 1.5 mile route.
• I shared a bagel with Freddie at Einstein's.
• Freddie was a good eater. He probably got his 1000 calories for the day eating 1/2 walnut strudel, pita and hummus, and applesauce.
• I managed to stay under my calorie limit for the day and i even had a piece of ice cream cake. Yahoo!
• I didn't ram into anyone in the market with the mega-double wide car cart.
• We spent 15 minutes looking at the lobster at the supermarket as though it were an aquarium. There was banging on the glass, pointing, squealing, and getting strangers to do the same.
• I got to watch the entire Oprah show without Freddie finding the remote and turning the volume all the way up.
• We danced in the living room to the Black Eyed Peas on Oprah.
• I got 5 new pairs of granny panties.
• I found it endearing rather than exasperating that Freddie kept running off with my new granny panties on his head while I was trying to fold laundry.
• Every time I told Freddie it was time to change his diaper he walked to the room and got on the pad. There was not one wrestling match involved in diaper changes today. I don't think there was even any crying or whining.
• After one month, lots of complaints filed and managers spoken to, one piece of forwarded mail arrived today.
