Good Morning!! Fist and foremost I want to thank all of you from the very bottom of my heart for all the comments yesterday. Ya'll made my day! :-) This journal is long, but should be entertaining.
Yesterday was a good day, my daughter and I donated a total of 24 inches of hair to locks of love and I think that bought me just enough good karma to save my dog from being hit on the road when he escaped later that afternoon lol. If karma is real, I use it on my family members faster than I can earn it! Hoss is my 3-year-old sixty pound (all muscle) boarder collie who is both a total pain in my ass all the time, and the apple of my eye. He was a Christmas gift to me from my husband when he was a pup, a decision my husband has regretted ever since lol. Soooo, I let him out yesterday afternoon to do his business before we left for our evening out, and I had a feeling that I needed to bring him in asap (intuition, perhaps?) so I opened the door and just as I said "Hoss, come here" he spotted some deer across the road and lunged. He managed to snap his collar right in half, and off on his merry way he went. He is lightening fast, and smart. You can't catch a dog that doesn't want to be caught. He kept sprinting through the fields across the street, then the fields behind the house, then up the road, then down the road. He always came back to see what I was doing though, this is a game to him. Using some quick witted reverse psychology when he finally looked up at me long enough to notice what I was doing I ran away from him. He chased me :-) He chased me all the way back home, and I opened the back of the jeep and In my happiest 'talking to a dog' voice I told him we were going to go on a car ride. He jumped straight up into the car, I slammed the hatch.... boom, got ya! Jeep, also doubles as a dog trap. Problem is he was covered head to tow in fresh spring mud. Immediate trip to the bath, now my vehicle needs the same. This dog is lucky I love him, because I don't think anyone else could.
Disaster averted (good looking out, baby jesus), we headed out for an evening on the town. I have gotten exceptionally good at restaurants, I believe this Is going to be one of my key assets when I hit maintenance. Something odd happened though, and I'm wondering if anyone else has ever had this experience, or how I should feel about it. I first ordered a skinny margarita, yummers without the guilt. Then I asked if we could do a half of a bloomin onion or not, the answer was not and we ordered it anyway, but you know how big those suckers are. We ordered our meals, I had a 11oz sirloin, baked sweet potato plain, and a house salad with light ranch. Then the waitress asked if we wanted more rolls, I said no thank you (who needs that much temptation in there life). Then the waitress turns to me and says "You're on a diet, aren't you?" I was flabbergasted! Immediately so many potential responses popped into my head, some not so nice, but to keep it simple I just said yes. Of course we all know the real answer is NO, this is MY LIFESTYLE of eating HEALTHY. She responded with, "Well, you're doing real good hun". Shut up bitch, I know I'm doing good I've lost ninety pounds. I know that's not nice, I didn't say it, but really who asks somebody that in a crowded restaurant?!?! She didn't mean it to be mean, and I'm pretty sure someone overheard and told the manager about it because later on the manager stopped just to ask how our service was. I didn't throw her under the bus, I really don't think she realized how rude what she said was. Still not sure how I felt about all that.
BUT at the end of the night I did good. I ate what I wanted of the blooming onion (not even 1/4) and promptly placed it to the side for the bus boy to scurry off with instead of taking it home for my late night munchies. My eleven ounce steak I couldn't finish. I should have went with the eight ounce, and I will remember that in the future. Just get the size I'm good with, no need to go big or go home because it's a special occasion. I looked at my husband and told him I don't even know who I am anymore because I used to order the sixteen ounce ribeye (don't you judge me) and down the whole thing, with an order of fries, and the whole bloomin onion, and a couple margaritas, and a couple baskets of rolls lol. I would have made a wonderful competitive eater, stage name could have been shaggy. But alas, I have given that up for a better, healthier and hopefully longer life. I don't regret it. I had a lovely evening.
Now I must pick up my kids from grandma's house, balance my budget, grocery shop and go back to mom mode. :-) Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!
