Monday: Hmm, worked as usual and I don't really remember too much else except it was freaking cold. Oh wait, I do remember. I worked really late and then we went to Outback to get potato soup and salad. I don't know what the hell they do to their ranch dressing but I really like it. Yes, I am a freak. The potato soup was good and warm but it was sooo cheesy and it kind of grossed me out because it must be so fattening. We sat at the bar and watched the Wizards game and just ate and drank wine. It was nice.
Tuesday: Worked, went grocery shopping, and then made soup for dinner. I am so into soups and warm comfort foods lately because it's been so cold. The soup was so good and soooooo easy - I bought a carton of Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup from Trader Joe's and I gussied it up with the addition of some fat free half 'n half, basil, and a few sauteed shrimp. Pair this soup with a ceasar salad from the bag and you are good to go in about 20 minutes. TJ's soup cartons and going on my list of must have's for quick and healthy (they are low in fat and organic) dinners. Todd was such a sweetie that night and as a surprise he has stopped by our favorite wine store and picked up a bottle of yummy Spanish rioja (Lan was the vineyard I think). I started reading Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bon's and I really like it so far.
Wednesday: Worked, made a boring ass dinner of roasted chicken breasts, roasted red potatoes, and asparagus. When I came home from work and made dinner I was feeling very tired and uninspired. I hate when I feel like that. Todd was on my nerves about doing some research for an investment property we might by from his co-worker. I was grumbling about working on that after dinner but once we got started I kind of got inspired to tackle some shit in the office that we never feel like doing. We started doing a major organization of our receipts for our LLC and for our personal income taxes. That shit takes forever but I would like to be able to hand off all of our shit to our accountant as soon as we can because I am hoping for another awesome refund like last year. Then, we started watching the MD/Duke game and I was inspired to make some brownies and penne pasta with tomato sauce and TJ's turkey meatballs for our lunch today. Todd was looking at me cooking at 10:00 like I was a freak. Sometimes I get like that where I just can't stop. We had brownie sundaes and watched Maryland finish off Duke and end their undefeated season. Fuck you Coach K and fuck you Dick Vitale who loves to kiss Duke's ass. Guess what - no beverages - woohoo!
Today: Working as usual but in my other office in the burbs. I like being downtown much better though (hmm, could that be because I am across the street from great shopping) but sometimes my boss guilts me into coming out here. Ugh. We are going to Georgetown tonight so that Todd can play poker with the boys and I am going out to dinner with one of the wives. She just turned in her resignation from a very stressful job and she is really sad about it so I am sure there will be some wine and retail therapy going on. I love Georgetown - oh, if I had $2 million bucks to spend on a rowhouse I would definitely live there.
