Good Sunday - finally

I have a new direction with my writing. I've found out this week that Dolores had been very interested in hearing my poetry and was planning to ask me to read to her. So I'm concentrating on writing more creatively and I'm reading my poems to her per Terrie's suggestion.

As far as the eating and exercising, I'm constantly trying to eat right and get more exercise. I have a physical coming up on Tuesday and I'm looking forward to that. Every step in that direction can only help.

I tried to make Dolores's potroast tonight with carrots, potatoes and onion soup mix. It tasted really good but I didn't have it in the crockpot long enough. So I kept cooking it until about 8:30pm and we'll eat it again tomorrow now that it's cooked properly.

Iam concentrating on eating more lean protein instead of carbohydrates. I need to build some muscle and lose my belly fat so this will be one way to help in that regard. Aaron, my mom and I all went out to eat at our 2nd favorite restaurant last night - Johnny's Chop House in Antioch. We ordered steak with horseradish sauce, raw oysters and some wine. It was delicious. Aaron and I split a dessert of vanilla ice cream alongside philo dough stuffed with cheesecake. It was terrific. Aaron enjoyed his entire half and I felt guilty so I ate 1/2 of my 1/2.

Food For Thought:

I look forward to this week because Aaron, my mom and I all had a good Sunday. We went out to the cinema and saw Edge of Darkness with Mel Gibson. It was really great! Twists and turns and surprises and startling action scenes. The love that Mel had for his daughter was evident. Mel is such a great actor. It's been the best Sunday since Dolores passed away. Sundays are the hardest since we spent so much time together that day. So since this was a good one, I am hoping that the good feelings we have will carry in to next week.
