Hockey Game

The doctor I worked with for the past 3 years (Sales Rep job) called me Saturday morning to see if the Wife and I would like to go to the hockey game that night. His wife wanted to go to another event so they wouldn't be going. I asked if I could discuss with the Wife and give him a call back. My Wife was still in the waking up stage of the morning but I went to her bedside and asked if she'd like to go. We had already made plans to go Christmas shopping, but after discussing, we could just change which mall we went to and still get things accomplished. I called the doctor back and told him we'd take them! He said he would leave them in his mailbox, he later text me he moved them under the snowman on their front porch so the mailman wouldn't take them.

We went downtown to the mall for a quick Christmas shopping stop, then to Whole Foods to use some of the BOGO and FREEBIE coupons I had received from my Wife's friend in Wisconsin for gluten free food. www.getmeglutenfree.blogspot.com We took in the free samples the store offered and perused each aisle discovering new foods and wondering how we would like different things. I love that store, and wish we could afford to buy our groceries from there 100% of the time. That just can't happen.

We took the groceries home then drove out to the doctors house to pick up the tickets. In the meantime the doc had text me there would be 4 tickets in the envelope. We started texting some friends asking if anyone would like to go. Everyone had plans or were out of town. I finally told my Wife I was going to ask CJC if she wanted to go. I follow her on twitter, because she's a singer. She's the daughter and granddaughter of musical legends. She loves sports, and she's overall a kick-ass girl. I sent her a DM and also a tweet. She responded she wanted to go. WOW! What better place to MIRL a twitter-friend? She brought a guy-friend with her that she's known since middle school. I was calmer than I thought I'd be...and I never mentioned anything about her family or her royalty bloodline. I am so starstruck, but I did well, I think. Why I get such a kick out of feeling like I "know" celebrities, I have know clue. Maybe a therapist could shed some light on that.

I am getting excited for Christmas!

I have not forgotten to chart my BBT once! So far it looks to be consistent with what my temp is "supposed" to do each month. I hope I am consistent each month so we can narrow our "window" down.

Our work department volunteered to gather new clothes for a needy family for Christmas. I volunteered to take care of the scarves (four girls). I usually don't donate for things like this, but something was pulling at my heartstrings to help someone less fortunate than myself this year. It made me feel good. I hope the girls like the scarves.

Speaking of scarves, my MIL got me a genuine lambswool Burberry scarf for my birthday. I.LOVE.IT!! I've wanted one ever since I walked into my first Burberry store in Chicago about four years ago. Such a classic item to have in a wardrobe. I'll have to be careful to store it so that moths don't get into it.
