I had a great time and met a lot of nice people. I tried to always sit at a different table during meals and sit and chat with people when they were outside. So I got to meet a lot of people, but the downside was not getting to spend a ton of time with any one person. But I have a lot of new FB friends now and we can support and encourage each other. I need it!
Today - I didn't get home til about 1:30am. Then I was wide awake even though I was EXHAUSTED. I ended up staying up til 4am and sleeping til after noon. I can't explain how good it felt to sleep in my own bed. Bailey and Smokey were very happy to see me and have not left my side. Bailey is sitting on my leg as I type. :) I made sure to hit the grocery store first thing. I made a list of basics I wanted to have for times that I couldn't cook and a few recipes from the new Hungry Girl cookbook. Don't know Hungry Girl? You need to! Even if you're not a girl! ;) www.hungry-girl.com and look for her cookbooks on amazon. I'm lost without them and she sends a daily FREE email with lots of good recipes and info. OK, I'm done selling HG.
Anywho, the staples quick and easy meals that I like to rely on - I always have stuff on hand for ham sandwiches for a quick meal, and I'm in love with a breakfast burrito (tortilla, 2 slices bacon, 1 wedge laughing cow cheese and scrambled eggs - 3 whites, one whole) and a veggie omelet (3 eggs, one whole, chopped red peppers, green peppers, onion, jalapenos and a little cheese (and sometimes I add a couple slices of bacon)).
To everyone I met this week - thanks so much for your support and let's keep in touch!
Past FRers - I miss all of you and hope I can make it back in September with those who are going. I did book a trip for the week of 9/4 but still not sure if I'll have to push it back or not
Friends & fam - thanks for reading and being interested in this! I need you all more than you know. Being by myself, I can use every ounce of support you can give. :)
