A good day!

I'm so glad you liked it! I hoped you would.

I didn't want to leave you hanging in the morning, but I need to make this short and sweet. We just got home from skate night, which was totally fun. But now I'm all sweaty and in desperate need of a shower; it's almost 9:00 and we have to be up at 4:30 tomorrow for J's cataract surgery. His appt is at 6:45 up in the city, which is actually kind of nice, since we'll be home by 10:00.

Before we went skating, we had lentil soup and fresh bread from my Whole Foods trek today. I thought it was awesome, although I must say that I made quite a few modifications, mostly because of my slower-than-slow cooker. Still, M loved it, his BF loved it, Jack ate it with bread and J though it was pretty good. More on the modifications later.

Our day out in the city was fabulous - we spent an hour and a half in Whole Foods (do you even have that out there?) perusing every product in every aisle; I was shopping like I was in Walmart, just throwing stuff into may basket, left, right and center. Like fresh orange beets and brussel sprouts, and a rich selection of olives from the extensive olive bar. I was in heaven! After shopping, we went to this place that's one of K's favorites - called the Pomegranate Bistro. Without a doubt, the kind of place I would take you to, if it weren't an hour away. Maybe I'll take you there anyway! We had andouille sausage corndogs, pommes frittes, bbq brisket sliders on blue cheese biscuits, and a cheese/bread plate. She had a margarita and I had a Manhattan...I have never felt so like a lunching lady in my life!! (Redmond is very posh.) We got home around 3:30, perfectly in time for a nap, of which I was so in need, considering the fact that I was half lit from the straight up cocktail that I sipped and loved.

Great day. Great evening. Now I must go tuck JJ in and get the scoop on the new girl from the skating rink tonight....

Love,
A
