So I have officially crept that much closer to "mid-thirties" turning 33 last Friday. It's an uncomfortable number for me. I'm totally out of shape, I have somehow reverted back to age 14 acne, and I'm constantly tired! I could live with 33 if I could get my skin looking better and have the ability to run up the stairs without dying! Fortunately, I am committed to doing something about it.
My birthday weekend was great! Started Friday night with dinner with my folks at Anthony's and continued through Saturday at the Owl & Thistle in Seattle and then a trip to the Comedy Underground. (My favorite birthday tradition!) We had a great time and it was really nice to get out with our friends again - it had been SO long!
Today was back to reality and work. Dinner this evening was REALLY good though. Tonight was a new recipe night and it was TO DIE FOR! Roast pork tenderloin and brussel sprouts. The brussels were steamed and then quick pan fried with bacon, shallots, sage and dried cherries. I'm trying to get the family used to the 1/4, 1/4, 1/2 plate configuration where the biggest portion on your plate is veggies. This isn't hard in my family as my children love vegetables. What other kids do you know that cheer when you tell them, "Tonight we're having brussel sprouts!" And, they were really upset after their first portion when they found out there weren't any more. (Gosh, I love them!)
Spent the rest of the night getting some things together for tomorrow. One of my best friend's just found out today that she is going to have a baby girl! I am SO excited for her!
