A sluggish tuesday
H-e-l-l-o.
We felt sluggish all day.
No, we are not sick. Or at least we don’t think we are?
Actually, could you do us a favor? Could you keep your fingers crossed for us, oh let’s say, for the next two weeks so we don’t get sick?
That would be a life savor.
For reals.
Poor Mr. B tossed and turned last night, which meant that yours truly didn’t sleep a wink either. It’s not a big deal because we wanted to monitor his temperature since it was a scorching 101.5 degrees when he turned in for the night. Whew bessie, now that’s cookin’. Luckily it didn’t go any higher, otherwise, hospital here we come!
We were happy this morning when his temperature read 100.5. Or in Mr. B’s grand humor…“100.5 and still alive!”
The man is funny, even with a fever.
After we took Mr. B’s temperature and tucked him back into bed, we headed off to work. This week has been a little crazy. We have been putting the final touches on our upcoming cooking event, and so far, we are freaking Jazz Hands excited about what we will be cooking. Check it…
1st: seared scallops, charred fennel and corn slaw, tomato shallot gastrique 2nd: flat iron steak, citrus chimichurri, winter squash risotto Dessert: chocolate soufflé, chile vanilla cream
The last time we had a cooking event it took place at the culinary school. Instead, we thought we would mix it up and do a private dinner with Chef John at one of our colleagues home (brilliant if you ask us). We think the home environment will give everyone a more hands on experience. Plus, it will give us a better chance to mingle with potential prospects. We are hoping it’s a win, win situation because we are dying to know what the heck a gastrique entails! Aren’t you?
Okay, all of this talk of food is making us hungry. Let’s switch topics and talk about the work outfit.
Is anybody else into stripes? We see them everywhere! Black and white stripes are definitely our fav. However, we did pickup a navy and white dress the other day that we can’t wait to wear with our new Fergie boots. Holla!
Black sweater: Gap Black/white shirt: B. P. Nordstroms Skinny jeans: Gap Flats: Gianni Bini
After work we stopped by Target so we could check a couple of things off our list:
– T. P.—> Check.
– Cranberries —> Check.
– Whole Grain Mustard —> Check.
– Wine —> Check.
– Glee 2011 Christmas Album —> Errrr…no check. Couldn’t find the sucker. Isn’t it supposed to come out today?
By the time we arrived home from running errands, we only had a few minutes to check on Mr. B, eat a light snack before we had to head to boot camp. This is our final week with Jennifer, which makes us sad. She is seriously a favorite trainer, and we can’t thank her enough for making us stronger.
We do have our final weigh in on Thursday, and we are little nervous to find out how many inches we have lost or gained since September. No matter what happens, we are just thankful that we fill more fit and healthier.
Once we got back from boot camp, we checked on Mr. B again. To our surprise he was feeling much better! Yay! His fever came down, and said he was starting to feel better.
Now we are off to watch Dexter. This season is major creep town.
We hope you had a good one!
Thankful Challenge Day 15
Today we are thankful for our father. We have called him at least a zillion times in the past 24 hours asking questions about what we should do for Mr. B. Should we take him to the doctor? What should he eat? How much fluid should he be drinking? Thanks Dad for your help. The Green Lantern strikes again!
