Lunch

I had lunch today with my 3 sisters and my mother, like we do every month. We have been doing lunch once a month for a year now. My mother moved out of her house 3 years ago and I was talking to my sister Veronica and said you know Mom isn't getting any younger and that we should try to see her more often. So, I suggested to the other 2 and my mom if we couldn't get together at least once a month for lunch in a different restruant. So, they all thought it was a great idea, and we have been doing it for a year now.

Today we went to Applebee's and it was very delicious and the waitress was great .. I announced a couple of things. One being that I lost 12 lbs. in the last 2 months. Yay!! It's a big deal to me, because I have a hard time losing weight. I think the blood pressure meds has something to do with it. My 2nd announcement was that my dept. at work won a contest for the BEST Health Information Management dept. (HIM) either in the state or the country. Don't remember which. Will update when I find out... We are going to get some pretty neat stuff to commerate the event. An article in a medical magazine with pictures. We are getting a shirt made with the HIM logo and a night on the town. So, it's pretty cool and can't wait to see the magazine.

Here is a picture of my kitty, Blackie. I think he is going to be a very big cat. He is only 5-6 months old... As you can see, he is all black except on his tummy, he has a little fluff of white there.. I put the heat on and you never saw a cat move so fast! He was gone in a flash. He still doesn't like the sound of my heater, which is pretty loud. It is right in my dining room of my apartment...

Well, that's all for now.

See ya, Gina

p.s. It was nationwide contest! How cool is that!!
