- Sunday night was Pizza night with the family at Happy Joes Pizza (succumbed to a beer and two pieces of pizza). My brother-in-law suggested his favorite pizza place from when he was a kid-how could I not try the pizza? These relationships are delicate and I like to particiapte in anything he suggests.
- Mom's German home cooking on Monday night including pork roast, noodles, and carrots (I told her I could only eat the roast and she looked like I was starving myself-moms don't like this!)
- Wednesday night was Valentine's Day. Much to my surprise my husband made reservations at one of our favorite Italian restaurants-Bartolinos on the Hill. I did not order or eat pasta but did have two cocktails and a glass of wine along with a piece of bread dipped into olive oil-one my favs.
- Tonight our daughter's daycare has parent's night out so we will most likely be out for dinner and drinks again.
- Tomorrow night some friends have invited us over for dinner. I politely asked what we were having so that I could bring something. On the menu-lasagna. UGH. How do you say I'm not eating pasta right now? I will probably instead disect the lasagna and try to eat around the pasta as much as I can. My plate will look a lot like my 2 year old's.
On a happier note I had a free hour to shop on Tuesday and with a Macy gift card burning a hole in my wallet I shopped the winter clearance racks. I grabbed a really cute pair of gray skinny jeans in a size 7 juniors and THEY FIT! I proceeded to wear them to teach in the next two days with big sweaters and black knee high boots. A few of my students noticed and said, "Girl, look at you, you look fantastic." That felt great. Most women will agree that when you try on a size smaller than you normally wear and it fits you buy it regardless of whether you love it or not. Then you walk around all day thinking to yourself these are a size 7. I think I'm going to pull the jeans out of the hamper and wear them again today! :)
