Lost weekend

That’s what it feels like. I had such a busy weekend that I’m having trouble remembering exactly how I did food and activity wise. I think I’ll just try to recreate it in my mind by putting it down here chronologically.

I "think" Saturday was a good day. :-)

I do remember taking B for the BIG WALK with our friend & her dogs. We go to a park nearby that is miles of trails, and the dogs can be off leash. It’s a pretty stout walk, up and down hills and it takes over an hour, and we love it. Everyone we meet makes a fuss over our dogs, because they are all small and cute and friendly to both people and other dogs.

After that it gets a bit hazy. Our department banquet was Saturday night. I remember worrying a bit all day about what to wear. I’m never sure what will fit, if anything. I ended up wearing black slacks and a red jacket that I got from Chico’s about 8 years ago. It actually fit fine and was not outdated looking at all.

(NSV alert! I’ve always loved this jacket because it’s long and covers up my butt. I said this to hubby and he got all pissed off…which was sweet. “You work out all the time, you have a nice butt, and you should be wearing clothes to show off your figure.” What a nice hubby! Nonetheless, I prefer to cover up.)

And as I mentioned before, I don’t eat much in public. So as is my usual MO, I didn’t eat much so hubby ate most of my chicken and we took the rest home for Buster. I did have 4 glasses of wine. I do remember having a good time, and planning a girls-only trip with one of my co-workers.

So, Sunday was our Superbowl party. It wasn’t a “good” day, but it could have been worse. In the morning, I took B to the park for about 30 minutes because he absolutely requires a walk for his sanity and mine (meaning… he drives me crazy until we go). Then the rest of the day is a blur. Setting up the living room for 10 people all facing the big screen, setting up the table for the food my hubby was cooking, vacuuming, running to the store for last minute necessities. Then people started to arrive, the game started, the eating and drinking began.

(I don’t know much about football…in fact, until we planned this party, I didn’t even know that the Cardinals were a football team, I thought they were only a baseball team. That being said…what an exciting game!)

Anyway, I did eat too much yesterday, but no regrets! All the leftovers were thrown out last night, I’ve got my fruit and protein for lunch, and I brought my workout clothes. So today’s gonna be a KICK ASS day!
