James and I read 1 Nephi 9 and 10 and had prayer before my doctor's appointment at 8:45 with Tiffany at the Arizona Arthritis and Rheumatology Center in Mesa.  The good news is I lost 4 lbs. since my last visit.  That's a pound a month!  I really like Tiffany because she explains things so well.  She said because Enbrel is so expensive I can change to Remacaid but will have to come in to the office for infusions.  I said I would be willing to do that.  She will set everything up and let me know when my first infusion will be.  In the mean time I will continue to take my Enbrel every other week.  My next appointment is in March unless they set me up for an infusion sooner.  This is the medication my friend Adrienne Ellsworth is on.  They took nine vials of blood because I am changing medications because they need to do more tests.  I'm glad I was able to walk out on my own.

I went shopping for Anna's birthday at the Marshall's in Gilbert near Deseret Book.  I bought the neatest purse for Anna and then went to Deseret Book to get a journal and some Young Women's stuff.

Anna's favorite color is green.

The Kneader's next to Deseret Book is open.  When I told Sheri she said we should go there after Evan and Rowan's game tomorrow.  Sounds like a plan!

Back at home James and I went to lunch at Pei Wei.  I had the spicy chicken salad.

Yummy!

We were supposed to have an appointment with Erik at Tempe Toyota this afternoon because my check engine light is still on.  Erik forgot and stayed home from work today so after driving to Tempe, James drove back to Chandler.  I needed to go to Ikea so my trip wasn't a total loss.  I walked the entire store before I found the 99 cent frames I was looking for.  I got my workout for the day.  The frames are for the Young Women's birthday gifts.

Back at home James and I took a nap in our downstairs bungalow and then we went to see the movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" starring Ben Stiller.  We really enjoyed the movie and the popcorn, drink and Junior Mints were great too.

I came home and visited with Stacy awhile before going to bed.  Joshua doesn't ask to play with my phone anymore now that he got his tablet for Christmas.

I want this in my house.
