What a sad, sad day. Today was my last day of freedom. Tomorrow it is back to the salt mines.
WAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I took it easy. Mom and I went out to lunch and ran some errands. We lunched at The Eating Room. This is one of those places that no one really likes, but everyone keeps going back. I want to like this place. It has so much promise, but never seems to make the mark. The food is usually disappointing, the service is subpar, and the place is always hotter than the Sahara. Yet, everyone in town always goes back. There is usually is quite a wait on the weekends. Still, I have never met someone who really likes the place.
Mom and I came home and watched Clue.
I confess that I have never seen this movie and never really had a desire to. My mom was excited to finally see it all the way through. She has a tendency to fall asleep half way through a movie and never see the end. As a matter of fact, that is what happened with Clue. She started to watch it when it was on TV and she fell asleep. This happened twice! She somehow stayed awake for the entire movie today. I was not too impressed with the movie, but I do not think anyone was. Thank goodness for Watch Instantly on Netflix!
I finished up my laundry and made myself a tasty dinner. Roasted Asparagus and Baked Chicken with Ham, Cheese, and Dijon Mustard.
It was delicious!!!!! The asparagus was a little overdone, but it did not matter. I could have had a million more servings.
I cook a lot for myself and I find it helps to clear my mind. Even cleaning up my mess has a soothing effect on me. I laugh when people say they do not have time to cook. I find that it just takes some planning ahead and just a little bit of time. Homemade food is always better than anything you pop in the microwave and the culinary creation you cook is such a great sense of accomplishment.
I’m gonna give myself a little pat on the back.
