I had a very busy weekend with wedding planning over the past couple of days... 1) Picked out Tuxedos at Men's Warehouse 2) Ordered my wedding ring (Kays) and Elizabeth's (Jareds) 3) Ordered invitations online
I even managed to drive down & visit Timmy & Alana on Saturday night. I almost forgot what weekends can be like when you don't have to work for one of the days! I'm also looking forward to March, my favorite month of the year... between March Madness basketball, St. Patrick's Day, the end of winter, and my birthday... it's clearly the best.

Today I filled up my car on regular unleaded which cost $3.55. WTF?!?!? How can gas cost so much? The stupid part of it is that my car can run on E85 which was $0.70 cheaper the last time I compared it a month ago. Of course, none of the nearby gas stations in Palatine have E85... none that I've found anyways. One more reason why IA > IL. Where is the ethanol hiding in Illinois??
On a happy note, it's the weekend AND I DON'T HAVE TO WORK!!! No real plans at the moment... hopefully I'll get a chance to relax!

Here's what I had for lunch today. Yummy!! Sushi Para is my favorite place to eat in the suburbs. Pictured is 3 pieces of salmon, 3 tuna, 3 eel, an "American Dream Roll" which has shrimp tempura and avocado among other things, and a "Crunch Roll" which is the one with spicy sauce drizzled on top. BTW I also enjoyed another plate of 15 pieces for a total of 35. Mmmmmmmm! On another note, Happy 61st dad!

Happy Valentine's Day!!
Although today was a busy Monday at work, it turned out to be a fun day. The temperature outside got up to the 50's today which helped melt lots of snow leftover from the 22-inch storm we had a couple weeks ago. I bought a dozen nice roses that looked like a blend of yellow/orange/red which made my fiance happy :) We made homemade pizza for supper tonight (Elizabeth made a simple peperoni while I had peperoni, onion, and black olive). We both insisted that our own creation was the best. We should make a tradition of homemade pizza for V-day!
I felt bad for one of my patients today because she really aggravated her back yesterday. She has a herniated disc which normally causes pain in her right leg, and before yesterday she was managing it well for at least 2-3 weeks. Then she took a big step back when she spent 12 hours working at a Karate tournament where she had to sit at a low table and constantly twist her trunk and reach while she worked. She said that by noon she felt like crying, but she kept working because she felt that she had to. Now it is killing her, and she is limping really badly. I wish she could learn how to avoid aggravation because this is getting to be a pattern for her.
