Nice Day Today
I woke up this morning not feeling very well so decided to take the day off. It's been a long time since I had an entire day off alone with nothing to do. I thought I'd sleep in a bit but was not able to. I decided to go for a long drive. I like to take long drives to no where when I'm feeling kind of blah. It always cheers me up.I grabbed two of my textbooks and decided to take them to my school's campus bookstore and sell them back. I knew that would take a good two hours of driving time as long as I took the long way there. I jumped in the car and decided to stop at Dunkin Doughnuts to pick up an iced coffee. Well actually, I went to Starbucks first. I had a $5 giftcard from work and decided to try the iced latte. It was awful. I dumped it into the trash right outside of Dunkin Doughnuts. I was glad it did not cost ME anything. I got my coffee, one toasted coconut cake doughnut and was a happy girl.
I put in my Gipsy Kings cd-which makes great driving music by the way- and was on my way. About an hour later I arrived at school and took my textbooks into the bookstore. I was given a total of $58 for both. UGGHHHHHH!!! Those books cost me a total of $250. Oh well, what can I say. I took my $58 and left satisfied. I have to admit though, I was vowing to not buy another textbook until I was sure it was absolutely necessary. Those books were in EXCELLENT condition! I should try selling them on eBay in the future.
I thought about making a surprise visit to my dear sister Kimberly but John called. He wanted us to have lunch together so I decided to pick something up and head home. I stopped at Pipo's latin cafe and got roasted pork, plaintains, beans and rice. The pork was delish but the beans and rice was just okay. La Terasita is much better. It's cheaper too. Too bad we get bad service when we go there.
The girl working at Pipo's remembered me from my frequent visits to Mr. Empanada http://www.mrempanada.com/. That made me laugh. I love Mr. Empanada and people know it. The only person that loves it more than me is John. His eyes just light up when I bring them home. I feel like he's my child.

Sounds like you had a good mental health day. I'm glad you could do it. I think of you and John every day. Love, Momma Donna
I *do* love empanadas.
I had a Krispy Kreme doughnut the other day. I brought it home and treated it like a dog does a bone, savoring every little nibble. It was so-so. I'm going to try to bake some cranberry muffins. I must have some ancestry in Maine. I love cranberries! I think I'm going to really like cooking!
