Good morning! Today is MLK Day in the US and DH has the day off, though he'll be working from home all day. Any one else get a day off?
It was a busy weekend here. On Saturday, DH and I had tickets to the Pittsburgh Pops. The program was called Oscar Night and it was all movie music, directed by Bill Conti (composer of Rocky and dozens of movies and TV shows). He's a great showman and it was a fun program. The last piece was video clips from Rocky, with the theme music, all one-armed pushups and chugging raw eggs. I'll think of it in the gym this morning!
For dinner before the concert, I had two interesting dishes: beet brushetta and lamb ravioli in paper thin pasta with dates, capers, and Mediterranean spices. Both different and delicious! Even though the food was definitely not on-plan, the portions were small and the scale went down the next day. Skipping dessert helped that too!
Yesterday was going to be our monthly visit to my MIL (she lives two hours north, on a farm by herself). DH had too much work to do, so I was decided to go myself. No problem, except my car started acting up so I took one of DH's old (1988) BMWs. No cup holders means no Starbucks! I decided that German engineers think that short women should not be driving M3s because the car just doesn't fit me. The car is hard to shift and I could barely see over the dash, even with the seat up all the way. But I made there in the pouring rain and back, so OK. Done for another month.
Today is the gym, vet visit, and I get to see the podiatrist for an ingrown toenail. Fun!
How was your weekend? What's going on this week?
