Today has been absolutely crazy! I am exhausted…

I kind of snacked my way through lunch today…sort of. I started with dessert. The best way to start out I believe.

Linsey and I shared this piece of birthday cake leftover from Jason’s meeting last night. It was a red velvet cake AND a corner…DOUBLE SCORE!

A little later I scarfed down a cup of potato soup topped with a tbsp of shredded cheddar and some green onions. It was so hot it took me forever to eat it.

An hour or so after that I made myself half of a throw together veggie sandwich. I didn’t even need a plate!

This sammie had cucumbers, banana peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, pickels and a slice of swiss cheese all on half of a whole wheat hoagie.

Once we got everything closed down, cleaned up and put away at the deli Linsey and I headed to the bank. Then to pick up Regan. Then met Jason at home to go do a little shopping and get dinner.

We made an emergency trip to whole Foods because Linsey is leaving us for 9 days tomorrow. She has NEVER been away from us for that long – EVER! She’s going to camp with my cousins (who are her age) and they don’t have anything to offer in the ways of vegetarian options (unless you want while bread with american cheese.) We managed to pick up quite a few things that will help fill in the gaps while she’s away.

Then we took her out for a farewell dinner to one of her favorite places and I got a coupon in my email this morning.

The clouds were rolling in fast as we walked into Houlihan’s.

I decided on two small plates for my entree. I went with the roasted asparagus salad…

and parmesan frites…

that come with a triple dipping tray!!

I finished all of the salad, but only about half of the frites. I knew I wanted something sweet so I made sure to save the room for white chocolate banana cream pie.

I love how you can order small plates of everything at Houlihan’s!

If I hadn’t been in public I would’ve licked the plate clean!!!

I didn’t go running today because I thought I had better give my hip a rest. I did get in plenty of cardio by walking up and down the basement stairs finishing laundry and to and from Linsey room getting her all packed.

She’ll be spending 4 days at my Grandparent’s house with my parents. So she has a suitcase for that.

Then she’ll be spending 4 days at camp so she also has a suitcase for that. I managed to get ALL the food we bought for her into this suit case too. I even impressed myself!

We’ve got the girls in bed (after a slight meltdown from Linsey) and I figure I’ve got about 30 minutes before I crash and burn. Hope every one’s having a great evening!!

Nighty night…
