Yesterday, Queenie and I met a former coworker for lunch. We only had an hour. We could have stayed all day. We talked and talked. As a friend would put it:

pick-a-little, talk-a-little, pick-a-little, talk-a-little, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, pick-a-little, talk-a-little, pick-a-little, talk-a-little more.

Yes, we were like three hens.

Last night I went to the 2 year old's birthday party. It was a lot of fun. I think he enjoyed the entire evening. I've been dieting for the past couple of months, but last night, I ate like a pig. I had a hot dog with red slaw, a hamburger with everything, potato chips, Tostados with spinach dip and two small pieces of cake. I can't believe I ate so much. It wasn't just me. Everyone ate like that. Apparently we were all hungry for children's birthday party food.

Today, I was able to sleep late. It felt so good. After our chores, my mother and I went grocery shopping and then to another town to eat at the Cracker Barrel. We had a taste for vegetables. After the 30 minute trip back home, I couldn't wait to sit in my chair and relax and read the latest issue of Saveur magazine. Cracker Barrel, Saveur...what a combo!

I hope everyone enjoys the remainder of their weekend.
