My sister came into town today!  She and her boyfriend are visiting for a week and I am very excited.  I haven’t seen my sister for over two years!  She has never been to California before, and I also had never met her boyfriend, Brett. 

Unfortunately, before their arrival I had a dentist appointment.  I had to have two cavities filled.  I have never had any cavities before, so was pretty nervous.  When I woke up, I made some pumpkin oats for breakfast.

Shortly after, I headed to the dentist.  All-in-all, it wasn’t that bad.  I mean, it certainly wasn’t pleasant, but it wasn’t torture, either.  I will have to go back in a couple of weeks and have the remaining ones filled, and although I’m not looking forward to it… now I’m not quite as anxious.  I know I will come out alive

I was starving by the time I got home, so I whipped up a quick batch of french toast.

Just as I was finishing up the last few bites, my cell phone rang.  My sister and Brett had already landed in San Jose, a half hour early! 

This is a picture of them from my sister’s recital.  Aren’t they cute??

It was a blast hanging out with them today and showing them where I live.  S also met them for the first time when he got home from work. 

Now I want to show you the condition of my legs.  These are my battle wounds from learning to ride the motorcycle.  Please ignore the pasty white-ness of my mid-winter legs.

The bruises in the middle of each lower leg are from the foot pegs of the bike.  Because my legs aren’t long enough to put down on the ground a little farther away from the bike, the foot pedals of the bike in the motorcycle class dug into my legs and created bruises.  I tried putting my legs in front of and behind the foot pegs, but that only resulted in more bruises on the front and back of my legs.  Lovely!

The one on the side of my knee is from one of my many drops when I fell and the bike fell on top of me. 

Update:  since taking this picture, I now have an additional bruise on the other knee.  They have to coordinate and match, don’t ya know.

Lunch was a huge salad.  Turkey, cheese, almonds, eggs, veggies. 

After our TJs trip, we had a little popcorn party.  It was microwave popcorn.  But we bought regular popping corn today, so that will be on tap for our next popcorn party!!!

I also snacked on two kiwis, and a blood orange.

 

Dinner was pepperoni pizza.  Twas a pizza night for all.

I also had some swiss chocolate for dessert.

Now I’m going to watch Survivor and play with my sister and Brett!
