Sunday shopping and sampling

I got a good night’s sleep last night. My back is definitely on the mend. We had a nice, relaxing morning. We always watch the Sunday news shows…Meet the Press, McLaughlin Group, etc.

Hubby and I had been talking about having a small Superbowl party for the people in my husband's office, so we called them up to see who is available next Sunday. Right now we’ve got 3 other couples coming over, so it should be fun, but not too much work.

This afternoon, we went to Costco to pick up a few things for the party. I am a bit sheepish to admit that I sampled my way through Costco. In fact I circled around for seconds on a few items…the salami, clam chowder, and bleu cheese on a cracker.

After Costco, it was on to Top Foods for most of the rest of this week’s groceries. While we were there, I got 5 one-inch pieces of red licorice from the bulk food department (I figured I might as well get it out of my system after craving it for 3 days), and then Trader Joe’s.

My food has actually been very good today, in spite of the few little extra things at Costco and the red licorice. All total, the damage was probably no more than a couple hundred calories.

While we were gone, Buster apparently had a stomachache, because there was MAJOR poopie on the downstairs rug next to the door. He, of course, was humiliated, but I never yell at my dogs about this kind of thing. I figure it’s my own fault for not being here when he needed to go out. So we cleaned it up…no permanent damage done. At least he did it on the washable throw rug downstairs and not the room size wool rug upstairs. Good boy!

Speaking of Buster, Angie at Angie All the Way posted a

I hope everyone had a good weekend…and that you’re ready for another exciting work week!
