AWESOME day today!
My friend and I arrived at the same time for lunch so we both had our heavy winter coats on. We were both talking at once saying how good it was to see the other and asking how the other had been while we waited to be seated. When we got to our table and took our coats off my friend's jaw literrally dropped to the floor. She said "I'm sorry, I don't mean to stare but LOOK AT YOU!!!! Oh my gosh! You look so GREAT!!!" It made me feel so good and so proud of myself for accomplishing what I have so far. Several times during lunch while we were chatting she kept shaking her head and saying that she just could NOT believe how different I look. It put a smile on my for the rest of the day and put me into SUCH a good mood.
Even the disaster of supper tonight didn't get me down! I was running an hour late because my last meeting of the day went WAY over on time, so I ran thru a wendy's drive thru to pick up supper for hubby because he had pool league tonight and needed to eat before he left, but wouldn't have time to wait around for me to fix supper. I ordered him a burger and a small bowl of chili with cheese. The girl at the window set the bag with the food in it on the counter just inside the window while she took my debit card to swipe. It's been terribly windy and the wind caught the bag and blew it off the counter. She tried to grab for it, but the bag ripped down the side and the contents went flying. I swear it was just like a cartoon because the bowl of chili flew up in the air and she fumbled it trying to catch it, but ended up making it hit the drive thru window, which made the lid pop off the container. Chili flew EVERYWHERE! All over her, the window, the counter, and the side of my car. The poor girl had SUCH a horrified look on her face - I felt bad for her. But I busted out laughing and could NOT stop! She apologized and refunded my money, plus CAREFULLY gave me a new bag of food. She offered to pay to have my car washed, but I told her that wasn't really necessary, especially since my car was already so dirty from the slushy, muddy roads.
My daughter's dog wanted to clean every spec of chili off my car as soon as I pulled up in front of the house - so we had to grab her and lock her in her kennel until I could clean it off so she wouldn't get sick from any chemicals that may be on my car from what ever it is they put on the roads to melt the ice around here. When I was done we let her back outside and she just about ran my husband over trying to get to my car to find if I had missed any. She was so disappointed not to find anything, so hubby took pity on her and let her lick out his empty chili bowl.
Today's a rest day, so no exercise for me. Gonna put my feet up and have a glass of wine, then head off to dreamland. I'm SO glad that tomorrow is Friday - it's been a LONG week. The week back after a long 4 day weekend always seems extra, super long to me.
Stay healthy everyone!
I asked hubby to hide it. Otherwise I'm sure it would be gone.
