Trying to get the feeling again…

Although we were invited to 4 parties last night, BF and I attended none.  I was slightly disappointed but again not because he as a bad cold and because he has to work today.  He got up at 5 a.m.  Sure, I woke up but promptly rolled over and went back to sleep until 10:30.  It’s cold outside and there is nothing like a warm bed. 

Since we didn’t go out I decided to make a special meal for us.  After standing in line at the post office for 45 minutes I went to the grocery store to stand in line at the sea food counter for 10 minutes.  I got us steak kabobs, crab legs, and shrimp for shrimp cocktails.  I went home and asked BF what he wanted for dinner and he replied “Taco Bell”.  He has figured out that a bean burritto has 7 points and a taco has 4 points.  To me, the bean burritto is a waste of points.  So after I laughed at him, I told him what I planned on making.  He agreed that all of that sounded better than TB.  Dinner was wonderful and not many points.  I made a salad and some rice for our side dish.  The only thing missing was bread.  I thought about splurging for about 30 seconds and decided against it.  So, no bread.  But later we did have root beer floats made with diet rootbeer, no points, and 1/2 cup Dreyers/Edy’s icecream for 2 points.  We did not go over our points and we felt full and yummy! 

My daughter, soninlaw, and granddaughter came over and we played Electronic Clue.  Josh won.  It was Colonel Mustard with a hammer in the garden.    The kids had gone to Outback for dinner.  Sarah has figured out she can have the shrimp appetizer (no bread) and side salad with ranch on the side and stay within points.  Josh said they have a really good fat free tomato something dressing.  But to be honest, I didn’t feel like going out and paying the high prices so we didn’t go with them. 

 The kids left and we went to bed.  We watched the ball drop and then we kissed good night.  I thought of Anngirl and hoped she was having a fabulous time.   Another year gone.   It seems like yesterday I had my toga 1999 party.  So many changes since then….  So many losses…

Tomorrow is weigh in day.  I can’t wait.  After that we are going to see I Am Legand.  Not my choice but I will go because I am a team player and I will find a way to torture him afterwards.  LOL! 

 I guess I have avoided the treadmill and cleaning up the house for long enough.  It is 1 p.m.  Time to get my groove on.   I had a Slim Fast for breakfast.  Still not hungry.  Maybe I will be after I do the treadmill or as my granddaughter says “the treadding mill”.
