Another great weekend!
Had brunch at the diner:
3 eggs scrambled with fresh spinach and a side of spinach and mustard greens and smoked sausage. It was delicious!
Jeff got the christmas trees down from the attic and set them up.
One is on the floor in the living room it is about 6 feet tall.
The other one is 3 ft tall and it is on our dining room table.
I put the other decorations up around the living room, including a one feet tall mini tree with IU decorations from indiana and red and white colors and ornaments. It is cute.
WE were invited to dinner at jeffs best friends house.
So we went there at 5;30 and we ate at 6.
He prepared a chicken dish with a red sauce with tomatoes and peppers and asparagus. It was very good. I did not eat the rice. He also fixed a cucumber salad and his daughter was there and she brought some now safe to eat romaine lettuce and some dressing that was very good.
They ate ice cream treats for dessert and I had a mini resses peanut butter cup. Drank sweetened tea and water while they drank gin and tonics.

Did not miss the alcohol at all, I knew that if I had one I would want more and more. sigh
Came home and ate 2 squares of dark chocolate which was very satisfying.
chewed gum to keep my mouth busy.
I ate just the right amount of food as to not be too full.
I need to watch portion sizes at sandras for lunches they always give me so much food. Tomorrow I will bring a little cooler with me.
I look forward to karens stories at lunch. Will bring the info that I printed off for her. Don't know how she will take it. Alot of it talks about needing therapy to work thru issues and about ptsd. I believe she suffers from this as well. Well I had better sign off as my back is starting to bother me.
