Sunny 9 for 2008 June 17

We celebrated father's day by making one of Aaron's favorite meals. I dug out my deep fryer that I got from Dad for Christmas a couple years ago and we made fried chicken (with bones and all). It is so much work to clean up, but it is a must when you are frying anything. It makes the food perfect. We used a Paula Dean recipe so you know it was good (and not good for you). We also made cream corn, pure fat and sugar, red skin mashed potatoes, homemade biscuits, and country gravy. Aaron's kind of meal. Happy Father's Day!

Today, Aaron and I got to go to Sea World alone. We are in a play group thing for the month of June so we switched turns watching everyone's kids. We took the opportunity to go without the kids while we rode roller coasters. It was sweet! I still got it...roller coasters were my favorite in HS, but after my last experience with a roller coaster I thought the mom thing ended all my chances of liking them. I rode Superman at Fiesta Texas and then we walked to Poltergeist. I didn't even ride that one, just waited for everyone, and when we were walking away my vision faded to black, I literally couldn't see anything and I had to hold on to Aaron because I was going to pass out. Luckily, I took a seat and I laid my head down, but it was a close call. I was about 10 weeks along. Such a small little baby but it makes a big deal.

It seems I am back to normal though, and we got to ride Steel Eel, Great White, and Rico Loco. We then went to lunch at a sandwich shop. It was fun to go on a date during the day. I'm off to NY first thing in the morning, and then to FL to see my niece and take care of my sis!
