The Search, The Hospital, Short Ceilings and Parking Decks

Well...I didn't get to put on my comfy sweatpants until about 11:30 p.m. or so, but it was well worth it. I made my way up to Baptist Medical Center to see Krystal and Kaylee after seeing Jeff for a few and then having a quick dinner with my dad at a little dairy bar close to our house with great burgers (bad, bad...) and shakes (really bad). I flubbed up and got a cheeseburger...I'm so weak! I did drink water though, if that helps any? But I guess the cajun fries I had kinda striked out the water...lol. Cajun fries are my weakness...I think I may run to Wal-Mart later and get the ingredients to make the pita recipe Ace shared on her blog. (Thanks, Ace!)

So on my way to the hospital I decided to pick up a couple things for Krystal that I knew she was dying to have! I looked all over for the C&C In-shower facial I talked about! Went to the first Wal-Mart store I came to and it was sold out! I thought, either people are catching on to the greatness of this stuff or Ashley came up here and bought every tube! (I know Ashley shops at this particular Wal-Mart.) So when I saw that it was sold out I ran over to the vitamin isle to get Krystal one of those moisturizing sticks I use. I finally found the C&C Facial stuff after stopping at about three places! I looked for the mascara, but alas, never found it...boo hoo. As I figured, Krystal was thrilled to get the stuff I got. Yay! I can't wait for her to try it out!


Our visit was a good one! I got to hold Kaylee and Krystal and I caught up on stuff and talked about our usual subjects-just like old times! I had a great time. We waited a little late to go out to our cars. I was glad that Krystal needed to go to her car because, honestly, I was a little scared walking out there by myself! It was dark and it's Little Rock! It's not my little hometown that I could care less about walking in the dark in. The front doors were already locked so we had to walk through the parking deck...super creepy I might add. I kept telling Krystal, "I'm scared! I've seen too many scary movies that had a girl walking to her car in a parking de--"...Krystal cut me off, "Tara, shut up! I've got to walk back by myself!!" "Okay, okay...you're right...", I said. To make a long funny story a short funny story, we made it okay and there were no creepies out there hiding!

On our way to the parking deck we had to walk through a hallway and as we were walking I kept thinking, "...something looks weird about this hall...what is it?" and then it hit me! Check out this picture!!

I actually felt tall for a change! I have no idea why the ceiling was so short, but hey, I got a chance to feel tall once in my life! I really felt as if I could take on Michael Jordan in a one-on-one basketball game and dunk it everytime...okay, maybe I didn't take it that far!

I finally made it to bed and put on my beloved sweatpants, woke up today and realized it was Friday! So...let's hear it! What are your plans for the weekend??

  4. Hmm, favorite healthy snacks? Girl, I eat a LOT of salads and I count every calorie that enters my mouth. I work out about 2 hours everyday so I eat anywhere from 1200 to 1300 calories a day. (I probably should eat more, but it's hard to consume THAT many!)

    I did come across some lunchable juniors though...they are just like the lunchables you ate when you were a kid but I think they're designed for toddlers. You get crackers, cheese and bite sized pieces or turkey. They're only 130 calories for the entire thing so I pair that with a salad and there's lunch!! :)

    Also, I eat A LOT of Weight Watchers Smart Ones...I used to live on Lean Cuisines but Smart One's taste so much better!

    One last thing and I'll quit hogging your comment space! They make EVERYTHING Little Debbie in 100 calories now! Try the Rice Krispie Treats or Gingerbread Cookies...you'll fall in love! And those are wayyy cheaper than weight watchers snacks!

    Good luck! :)

  6. Come to find out.. the front doors WERE NOT LOCKED! What?! Thankfully I asked some people walking from that way if the doors were open, and they said yes... so we walked all that scary way for nothin! But.. another memory made in the lives of Tara and Krystal! Woo hoo!

    PS- I tried the Steam-In, and i'll never go back to anything else! Thank goodness I live in another town from the rest of you, i'll be the one buying it out! Oh yea, and the vitamin E is GREAT!
