A Short Week

Monday. Ugh. On the plus side, at least it's a short week (going to Mom's on Friday) and I won't have to sit at school bored out of my mind during testing. On the minus side, I have to be at school Wednesday until 8! UGH!!! We have the community service projects for seniors that night. I hope it's as positive an experience as it was last year. And hey, at least I'm not "judging" with the assistant superintendent again. That was interesting.

So last night I made cube steaks for dinner. I haven't had cube steaks since my mom made them, probably 25 years ago. I was worried. See, if you know what cube steaks are, you know that they are not the best cut of beef and can be tough. I found a recipe online and tried it out. Delicious!!! Tender to the fork - barely needed the knife (really only to get up the delicious sauce) and Jim thoroughly enjoyed it.

Tonight is the last Shepherd's pie of the season. Jim asked that I make it more "traditionally" - with carrots and peas. I'm gonna try. We'll also have a salad.

I've been really good about my exercise regime. Gotta keep my ass from getting too much bigger! I've been trying to take a day off more often, however. I didn't exercise Saturday, for example. Yesterday though, I did 2 miles on the treadmill, 7 on the recumbent bike and 150 of my modified sit-ups. Don't get too excited though, this is what it probably took just to work of my wine from the night before and breakfast. Just trying to maintain and not go up a size.

Okay - I'm off. I have a few bills to pay and get my lunch bags ready. Have a good week everyone. Later.

Oh, and it's National Puppy Day!!!
