No emo here!

I posted once today, then went back and deleted it. It was all emo and stuff and that's not who I feel like I am, or what I think this blog is for. So let's have a new post, shall we?

My daughter is supposed to be coming down for a visit on Friday. She happened to mention that the BBE's chicken salad makes her SQUEE, and I happened to mention it to him. So he told me to get the stuff to make it for her. Which knitgeek totally went grocery shopping, came back and put all of the groceries away, and still has time to blog on her lunch break? This one!

Yeah I'm super proud of myself, can you tell? I'm not so proud of buying stuff I wouldn't get if I was shopping with the BBE, like special bread and a big ole tub o'yogurt. I didn't get anything bad (except the Twix ice cream bars, but just one thing shouldn't count). I just got stuff we don't normally get. And I think that might prove bad. I'm doing really good at maintaining my weight and I think that's due in large part to our very normal and regular diet. And with my quit date looming closer on the horizon, now is not the time to mess with my weight!

I'm AWS today (new term for WFH) and I started some turkey jerky dehydrating early this morning and man oh man does it smell good in here. Maybe that had a little something to do with the extra purchases? Well that and I had like negative food in the house so I was definitely shopping hungry. I didn't even let myself go down the junk food or cookie aisles, because there is nothing good down there. Nope, not at all!

So now I'm enjoying a turkey and provolone sandwich on onion and poppy seed ciabatta with deli-style pretzel slims and a nice glass of cold water in my Hello Kitty cup. This? Is totally the life.

I am a little bummed that I couldn't have lunch with Mr. Man today. I look forward to my AWS days because it's the only time we get to spend his whole lunch hour together. And with his Number Four girl living with him, it's the only time we get to be totally alone pretty much ever. He had a lunch meeting today, though, and that's way more important than me making puppy dog eyes at him for an hour. And there will certainly be other lunches. This Friday is my payday, and I always have a ton of errands to run on payday, so maybe he can come with me and I can get a little bit of hand-holding in then. :)

Plus I'm eating an amazingly good sandwich. That also lessens the sting.

We have plans tonight to go out with his Number One daughter and her guy (love them both) to celebrate her getting a new job. I'm planning to tell him that since he ruined my lunch plans, he's got to be DD this time. I'm expecting everyone to hide this blog post from him so he doesn't know I'm not really mad. Otherwise, I'll be DD'ing. So help a sister out, okay people?

I suppose it's time I got back to my scripting. Have a great afternoon, you seven regular readers you!
