I mean, the soup is good, but my heart was set on spaghetti... Oh well. So, does anyone eat Vita Tops? Oh man, I only recently bought them, and now I need to have one every day. Mmmmmm...Marie, I can't stop thinking about your french fry thing. I'm not sure I could do it, but the next time the occasion arises, I'm gonna give it a try. It's been a long time since I've had any fries. Hmmm, maybe I'll make some sweet potato fries this weekend. I hope you got your couch in! Oh, I remember the pain when we got ours and it didn't fit through the front door. So much cursing... Eventually I figured out a do-able angle that the two men could not seem to grasp, but it's in and it's staying forever!
Penny, adzuki bean ice cream sounds interesting. I'm sure it's not as "beany" as putting a can of black beans in brownies, blecch! We have a nice Asian market nearby, but I've only been there once. I was intimidated by not being able to read any of the signs. It was kind of fun, like I was on vacation out of the country, but I really didn't know what I was doing. Seriously, nothing was in English. Maybe I'll try it again some day.
Mariana, wow, sorry to hear about the fires! I do, however, love that term "bushwalking". I think I'll start using it! And yeah, your pants will loosen up again. I know how you feel, for sure, but you are so active, sometimes you probably just need to relax and carb up. You'll be back on track before you know it!
Judy, woo hoo! Yes, I'd say a size 18 can be a little black dress! My highest was a 26, so I figure anything under 20 is downright svelte! Have a great time at the inauguration parties, and don't worry too much about the diet. You will soon be reenergized!
Kathy, holy cow, they give you cheesesteaks and pizza for lunch meetings? That's just cruel! Congrats on going with the carrots, though, and glad you had a good doc visit!
Time for bed. Have a great Friday, all!
No it didn't fit in the room. Currently the hide-a-bed is in garage and DH's Durango is in the driveway. 
But there's a plan in place for the weekend. Long and convoluted but basically DH is going to put in an exterior door in the side of the house for the guest room. I asked for one last week before the couch fiasco. Once he's cut the BIG whole, we'll move the couch in and then he'll do the home improvement of adding a door out to the doggie kennel. Since he's the one that wants bad boy Kody and naughty girl Kai out there while I'm at work, then he needs to provide easy access. To be honest, once he picked his jaw off the ground in astonishment, he liked the idea so we will get summer breezes though the side of the house that there's no windows or door. So that's this weekend's project. He hit home depot for the wood as we already had the door.
One small step. But really, it made my morning when I put them on and found that they slipped on with ease. 
It was fun while it lasted, but man, did I do some calorifical damage yesterday for the game! Maybe I knew deep down that I wouldn't be eating for a Superbowl party - lol. In any case, yesterday's over and today is another new start. It's supposed to be all the way up into the 30s today, so I'm going out for a good long walk. Cooking for the week is done and it should be a good OP week!
