Today's Good Things:
Morning walk
At least an hour of push mowing
catching up on school lessons
Lovely evening out with my sweet husband complete with an hour alone to talk over cappucino...mmmmmm...
Did well sticking with the low carbs for dinner and appetizers (notice I didn't say dessert?? Ahem.)
Today's Not So Good Things:
Chips for snack with dh
Missed my bible time...such a slow start this morning
Behind on laundry and housework
I ate The Whole Thing for dessert. Ack!
We went to an annual business meeting tonight. It's a special treat at a restaurant that serves amazing food. I was careful to avoid the crackers, bread and potatoes the whole evening. I chose cheese and fruit for appetizers along with the irresistable bacon wrapped scallops and over-sized shrimp cocktail. Wow! For dinner my plate was more than half full with fresh salad and steamed vegies, the rest were small portions of chicken marsala and a piece of stuffed baked haddock. So delicious!
I was quite pleased that I resisted the carb load, so I splurged at the incredible dessert table. I picked this unbelievable chocolate cookie pie thing. Heavenly. It was a treat and I know I won't have that level of dessert again anytime soon, so I enjoyed it without guilt. ;-)
I enjoyed the evening with my husband. Neither of us really enjoys the shmoozing that is involved with this event, but tonight we were blessed to meet a man that attended the same christian college my husband did the same year my husband was there. That was so neat! While sitting together at dinner, we also found that we share homeschooling in common with their family as well. We were delighted the Lord used us to encourage this man and hopefully his wife as well. We were praising the Lord on the way home for such a neat blessing to be found in this evening. Thank you, Lord!
