C had her 2nd filling this morning. She was not happy at all about it, but she was so great! She kind of sobbed a few times during the drilling, but that lasted for probably less than a minute. It was an upper tooth, so they did a silver filling this time and it was so quick, it was amazing. C was happy to be done and we went for her reward which was a necklace to match a bracelet she had picked out a while ago. We got to the store and couldn't find the matching necklace at first, but luckily it was just hiding in another display. Whew, disaster avoided.
R had camp today, so C and I did errands and then met up with friends for lunch for a pre-birthday celebration. Four adults and 7 kids at Ruby's Diner (thankfully I only had 1 kid or it would have been 8). Lovely. We sat outside, it's right at the harbor, so it was nice, but semi-controlled chaos. Then we picked up R and met some other friends at another mall to play in the fountain there. We had left the house at 8:45AM and didn't get home until 3:30. Whew.
Since DH was home all day doing his own errands, I should have asked him to be in charge of dinner, but since I have to specifically ask, he didn't think of it. He was even at 2 different grocery stores today as he's doing a nice BBQ for my bday tomorrow night... did he think of dinner for tonight?? No. So, we ended up going out to dinner. We went to Islands (a frequent haunt of ours) and I ordered a BBQ chicken quesadilla. When I bit into it, I found tons of gristle and several bones. Nice to know that it's freshly pulled from the bones, but not what I want to bite into. I sent it back and they gave us a dessert as an apology. I don't think we've ever ordered a family dessert with the kids before. We got a brownie thing with vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup and whipped cream. C's eyes got soooo huge when she saw it!! Not that she ate much of it, but R had a blast. Boy after his mommy's heart. Too cute.
There's way too much food going on here right now. I did pick some healthy stuff for BBQ'ing tomorrow night. Brine chicken, grilled asparagus and a parsley sauce for the chicken. That just saves up for the chocolate cake. Ugh and my period is starting right now, so I feel like Bloat from Nemo. Aren't you supposed to diet before going on a cruise??? Oh well.
I got my first drafts of my business logo today. There's definate potential. I just sent her some comments back, hopefully another draft or maybe 2 and we'll be done. Yippeee!!!! DH and I had some very productive discussions during our dinner last night and he helped me iron out a bunch of issues with my processes and hopefully I'll be able to get my marketing stuff done when we get back from our trip. YAY!!!
