FRI. MAY 12
I had a rather odd breakfast -- I felt like something tomatoey, and since I didn't have any fresh tomatoes in the house to do something omelettey, I ended up having a Lean Cuisine cannelloni. That's one of the great things about being a writer -- you can get away with stuff like that.
I was working through lunch -- paying bills and thrilling stuff like that. Then I connected with an old friend -- my maid of honor -- and actually we go all the way back to 6th grade. I spent hours over at her house growing up, trying to get out of my own, and sort of invited myself over most Christmas afternoons to see what a real Christmas looked like. And then she got married and moved off to Washington, and before you know it, more years had passed than one wants to think about, and aside from the occasional Christmas card and high school reunion, we hadn't seen each other for well over 10 years.
And then she dropped me a line that she would be in town for her son's graduation, and I picked up the phone and called her cell number -- and the next thing I knew we were having lunch!
We met at The Grove and had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. I had 2 pieces of bread (one white, one dark) w/ butter, and an order of Thai chicken pasta (and forgot to tell them to hold the bean sprouts). Somehow I always end up ordering the same thing there, I don't know why.
It was so wonderful to see her again! It took me back over 20 years!
For dinner, I had my Alliance of Women Directors board meeting -- a couple of our regulars were out of town, and somehow that threw us all off. Usually the unplanned potluck works out perfect, but this time, everyone brought dessert!... One woman, knowing our regular salad-bringer would be out of town, did bring a salad -- but she put avocado in it, so I couldn't eat it (allergic).
I had about 4 oz. of roast chicken, appx 1/2 c. of white rice, 2 chicken/lemongrass sticks (from Trader Joe's -- sort of like half-sized taquitoes but wrapped in egg roll dough), about 7 mini-sized cinnamon rolls dipped in icing (about the size of a half dollar), a piece of pound cake, and about 3 strawberries. Oh, and a v. small scoop of chocolate ice cream. We had a lot more desserts, I just didn't eat them.
Sat. is our writers group -- so doughnuts and lunch afterwards. Then just hanging out.
