Happy Fri-Yay, everybody!
Today I am working from home. And when I say "working" I mean going to the gym and hanging out on OH.
Well, all of the maneuvering worked. We got the bobblehead. It did require a half an hour's wait outside the stadium with only a suit jacket. And we got the boys delivered to Nordstrom. My younger son was able to take everything home and and is now done with the process. My older son, unfortunately, has to go back a third time because they didn't like the way his hems fit.
One more trip and it will be all over, except for one hellacious credit card bill.
At 7:40, after the cold wait outside the United Center, the Eisenhower commute, and an hour of watching the boys try on clothes, my shopper turned to me and said "well what should we get for you now?" I said "dinner."
I then fell asleep on the couch while watching the end of the game.
QOTD: I am trying to psych myself up to do the walk across the top of the Sydney harbor bridge while we are in Australia this Christmas, but I am scared of heights. Not sure I can go through with it.
Breakfast: omlette
Snack: Protein bar
Lunch: Chicken schwartz at Naf Naf grill
snack: Light and Fit
Dinner: TBD
Have a great day, all!

It's windy, the harbor bridge. I guess it depends the time of year but during summer it was the wind that bothered us. But my family would tell you I'm crazy and don't suffer heights.
Glad to see the bobble head that caused so much coordination.

Jim, I did the bridge walk while deep in a bridge phobia (I'm wasn't afraid of heights, just bridges....I got over THAT by driving back and forth from Miami to Key West...so many bridges). I did the bridge walk because I thought that would break the nerves but it didn't, lol.
You are completely attached to the bridge, you're not going down unless the bridge does...and it's pretty sturdy. They put you in a full body jumpsuit (think carharrt like) and you can't have anything not attached to you. I held on every single step and the photo at the top, everyone is waving their hands and I have a two handed death grip on the bridge). It's a great view, I was really pleased I was able to do it at the weight I was at then, and if you feel up to it when you see it, I think you will enjoy it. If you decide not to do it, there's great pubs and little shops all through the area they call "the rocks" and you can kill time if you need to while Marilyn and the kids do it.

Scared of bridges LOL you should live in Pittsburgh. My phobia is going underneath a bridge always afraid something is going to fall from the top. I am not afraid going across a bridge.

I went sideways on a bridge in a rainstorm when I was a new driver...freaked me out!! In retrospect, I probably was never in danger but in my head "OMG, I ALMOST WENT OFF THE BRIDGE". I'm ok with it now but it took years and a lot of different attempts..the Sydney Harbor Bridge Climb; going across the Capilano Suspension Bridge and considering living on the other side so I didn't have to come back (and an old man laughed at how scared I was); having a panic attack when stopped on the skyway between chicago and indiana....I am glad it's all behind me now!
