Dreams

So now I've swam three times since Thursday, yeah!  That's the most consistent I've been since before the taper back in August.  I've lost a little weight because I've been playing the 360 instead of just watching TV and stuffing my face with snacks.  I'm only 147 now so maybe I can make it through the Halloween, Thanksgiving, Xmas season without going for a new all time record.

Elena and I went to Ikea this weekend.  It's such an interesting store.  They really have it figured out.  They have food and a kids play area where you get a fancy pager in case something goes wrong.  You pick up your furniture down in the warehouse after seeing it all in the upstairs viewing areas.  We bought a dresser for Elena, bookshelf and coffee table for me.  We tried to buy a desk but they didn't have it in stock.

We also stopped at Costco for $3.35 gas.  Not bad.  We went into Costco for just a couple of things like Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi, raisins, and jerky.  I stayed away from the chips since they only have Ruffles which I like.  It's time to get serious about training again since O called and told me he swam a 29 at an Olympic on Sunday.  He's going to crush me in the water if I don't my crap together.

Elena and I put together all the furniture.  The dresser took the longest with it's 3 drawers.  It was fairly inexpensive(cheap) furniture so it had all these interesting screws and such.  She'd find the right screw for each of the parts I was putting together.  It took awhile but they turned out okay.  Not too crooked...

Elena cracks me up and definitely is my daughter.  We were eating dinner last night and she told me that she's always hungry and then said she even dreams of food sometimes.  Classic!  I asked her what types of food and was expecting to hear like candy and ice cream.  Nope, she dreams of eating vegetables and rice.  Hilarious!!
