I'm taking a short break in my meal preparations for Mother's Day. Mom & her boyfriend, my sister & her boyfriend, and my brother are all coming over for dinner in less than an hour.
Tonight's Menu:
Baby back ribs (dry rubbed for 1.5 days and slow cooked, then grilled)
Grilled white corn
Purple potato salad with bacon and hard-cooked eggs
Watermelon
Watergate Salad (we love our Jell-o salads!!)
Sundae bar with homemade chocolate and vanilla ice cream
Sweet traditional tea
Unsweetened jasmine papaya white tea
Copious amounts of wine
Did your invitation get lost in the mail?
I ran yesterday morning while it rained off and outside. I am really getting into Downton Abbey so I was kind of okay to be on the dreadmill. I was trying to get some stuff done early for today so I almost didn't do my 7 miler. But I was glad I ran for nearly an hour as it took off some of the edge before I got to work.
We were pretty busy with last minute Mother's Day shoppers. I was glad that the time went by quickly 'cause I was ready to have a day off!! I have to be at work tomorrow at 5am which means I have to wake up at 3:30am. Uggggggggggggh!! Gross!! Another reason to be on the search for my dream job. I'm over the terrible hours.... You fancy people with your M-F, 9-5--I am super jealous!
With such an early wake-up call, I have pretty low hopes of running tomorrow. I am off on Tuesday so it probably would be better to just wait until I am better rested. And hopefully if I get out early enough I can go for a longer run. We'll see. The good part about not training for anything is that I can just run whatever kind of run whenever I want. Yay!
