Last night was nice. “J” worked hard until nightfall on the trellis, digging holes and setting posts and cementing them. At dinner time he BBQd some Omaha Steaks, and I made steamed rice and broccoli mixed with laughing cow cheese, yum! For dessert I had some Angel Food cake with banana slices and Foam.
Then once the kids were down, we watched some Rick Steeve’s Ireland which made me even more excited for our trip and then the final two episodes of The Tudors. It was kind of sad to be done with the series. Looking for another series to get caught up in! Preferably one that is streaming, I hate waiting for discs!
So today we slept in, and then got up at about 8:30 so I could shower and “J” could spray paint the trellis. Then we got the kids ready and headed to our favorite breakfast at Uncle Vinny’s. I had the vegetarian omelet and substituted the potatoes for fruit and asked that my wheat toast be unbuttered. It was so much food and so filling. I was not surprised that it was right around 600 calories. The kids split the special, a huge breakfast sandwich for only $2, what a deal! Then “J” had the chorizo plate, looked delicious, he loved it. So with full bellies we headed to Sparks to pick up our custom framed map of St. Lucia and do a little shopping. I casually mentioned we needed to look for a few things at Wal-Mart and $150 later, we left. In our defense, we bought a lot of things that we had been talking about for a while. Nonetheless, it was a little shocking! Then we headed home to finish the day.
Now “J” and “P” are outside working on the trellis and grapevines and “V” is watching TV. I am deciding whether to exercise or take a nap, I am tired! I am planning dinner to be pitas stuffed with Beef Ball Tip, spinach, cheese and avocados, sounds good! I usually don’t skip meals, but our breakfast was so big and late I think that in lieu of lunch I am going to snack on my homemade hummus and carrots. That should hold me over until dinner at 5. Then we are going to watch this kid’s movie about Ireland, Secret of Kells. After the kids are down we will watch Amazing Race and then off to bed! Hope your weekend was as productive as ours!
Okay, new series that just started tonight on Showtime. The Borgias. It's about the Papal family from the Renaissance time and how corrupt they were (all true history by the way). This family was the basis for the Godfather family in the movie the Godfather (that's how corrupt they were). It was an amazing first episode. BTW, saw the pic you posted of P helping out, she's adorable.
