SAT. JANUARY 28
We had a doughnut festival at our writers group this morning. And amazingly enough, it was a themed doughnut festival: old-fashioned, chocolate old-fashioned, and apple fritters.
I had half a chocolate bar (okay we had a couple of non-themed doughnuts), half an apple fritter, half an old-fashioned cruller, and 1/4 of a chocolate old-fashioned. It sounds much worse than it was -- it was spread out over 3 1/2 hours. But of course, yes, I realize, the calories are the same.
I don't even care though, because our writers group loved our script pages. And that's all that matters.
We went to lunch at Fuddruckers again, and I managed to get past my usual cheeseburger order. I had a grilled fish sandwich with appx 1 T tartar sauce -- I think tartar sauce is my favorite condiment in the world. I also had fries with it. Dipped in tartar sauce, of course. Sabrina didn't finish her baked potato and offered it to me, but I had it packed up to take home. Guess what breakfast tomorrow is likely to be? (Although, of course, we still have half a dozen doughnuts in the house...)
I worked for several hours this afternoon writing up our notes from this morning's session, then we sat down to watch the finale of Return of the King. Lee made a frozen pizza, and I had one slice of not-so-good pepperoni pizza. And found myself getting more and more frustrated with the movie, which, each time I see it, seems to me more melodramatic and over-scored. Not to mention that each time I see it I get more and more peeved with the deviations from the book... Lee finds it magnificent, so I keep my mutterings to myself. Themovieisnotthebook, themovieisnotthebook, themovieisnotthebook -- I keep telling myself.
(Although I was struck by the extent to which the One Ring is really just Sauron's Horcrux.)
Okay. Time to calm down and go read a chapter of Mere Christianity. Tomorrow is church, lunch after church, and then I think we will go look at some kittens for adoption and see if we find "the one."
