quiet few days...........................................

it has been a few quiet days here for me. i would be sick and then feel better and then the next day feel not so good. i am really tired today but i think that i am over the crud that is going around. i sure hope that i am! today is my mom's 80th birthday! she went to visit my sister today with a good friend of her's today. tomorrow we are celebrating by going out for some great coffee and goodies. she prefers gifts like getting together or getting coffee or lotion and such. i am looking foward to spending time with her. we always seem lately to have some really good times together...especially on sundays which is when we go out to eat for a late lunch (less crowds but still lunch prices) and then we run our errands for the week and most of the time we get everything done.
gracie is feeling better....but everytime when i talk to her and mention her behind she automatically sits down like you are NOT touching my behind! she then most of the time will get up and i will put her cream on her.i think she is feeling better today so have not given her aspirin...perhaps as the day goes along i will see how she is doing. she has been quiet today sleeping on and off...i think she is a tired pup like me.
about food...i am determined to start eating more fruit! i am not nor have i ever been a fruit fan..i do not like mushy things which alot of fruit is. i did eat a banana yesterday and today. i ate a expensive but good apple. i prefer really crisp and tart apples and so got 3 when i was at the store last week....as i said they were expensive but wow the one i ate was really great!
is there an aldi's where you live? it so what do you think of it? i am more impressed each time i go there...good deals...sure one is not always sure what is going to be there except for some of the regular items but the specials are really good..mom gets really good fruit and veggies there.i have not tried the meat yet but my nephew tells me it is good. IF i did not drink pop for almost everything i could shop at giant eagle...trader joes...and aldi's i think. i really like all of the stores. i am NOT one who likes the giant stores where as my mom says you can buy your groceries and your undies all in the same store...i know that they have good prices i just also cannot walk around the stores much at all! oh i do also like target plus they have an area one can sit down and rest and get something to drink...the target store that i go to has a star bucks in it which is good. reminds me i had at borders today a caremel latte with a bit of hazelnut syrup and the guy put some whipped cream on it and it was yummy! i always tell myself that a latte is a good way of my getting milk since i am not a milk drinker and have never been one.
here is another question for those few who read my blog....if you like latte's what is your favorite flavor? if not latte's what is your favorite coffee drink or are you not a coffee drinker?
