It started out good. I woke early (around four) and couldn't get back to sleep. I stumbled out to the couch to spend some time with God. It was a sweet time. We read poetry and just hung out. I love abiding with God. No agenda. Nothing to study. No prayers to cry out. Just being, sheltering under the wings of the Almighty. Then we took a little nap (it was very early). Woke up, got ready for church, had a sensible breakfast of cottage cheese and whole wheat toast and coffee with a bit of cream.
Got to church, set up classrooms, welcomed the children, and ate a few cookies (just 4) during preschool snack time (I can't want till those stupid Dutch sugar cookies are gone! Curse their sweet, crunchy deliciousness) and then it happened. One of the boys' friends asked if the boys could go see Avatar after church. "Sure!" The boys could go to the movie and Matt and I could have a date! We had that gift certificate to McCormick's and Schmick's...
Appetizer: clam chowder with oyster crackers, sour dough roll and butter
Lunch: blackened salmon on a bed of greens with roasted bell pepper and orange segments. Topped with a citrus and miso dressing.
Dessert: split the trio platter with Fox: creme brulee, cookie ice cream sandwich, peach melba crisp ala mode. And coffee with cream.
Needless to say lunch was filling so it counted as dinner too.
Later this evening I felt I should probably burn a few calories so I began playing around on the Fit, soon I thought, "why not try to go for 2 hours" which then became "why not go until you burn 500 calories." And here I am. Putting in a too long day after consuming too many calories and exercising too excessively. :)
High notes: I avoided the bug juice at lunch and the cream brulee was worth the calorie cost.
