Happy Birthday grammy! Yep she is 85 years young ( I think, give or take a year). I had class today and grammy and I went shopping and then to her birthday dinner. Gram and I have adopted the responsibility of grocery shopping and meal prep. We have been scouring the ads and using coupons and trying new recipes. I find that now I get a bit more excited for dinner, one because I have control over it and two because I get to cook. We shall see how it goes when school starts in the fall....may not have as much freedom to cook but I am going to do my best to keep up on it. We take a trip to the store each week with our grocery money and we do our best to make it work and to make it last. It is tough working on a cash system. It is so much easier to just whip out the debit card and swipe away.
Had a little mix up in the time that we were suppose to meet at the restaurant for so the birthday girl was LATE (bad granddaughter)! But we made it despite the dust storm that enveloped us as we sped down the freeway. We went to the outback for dinner (yum) where i had steak and broccoli and salad. They had bread on the table and I really wanted it; did I eat any no! I resisted and tonight was really hard. Our waiter was hilarious and they brought gram a dessert and sang to her. It was quite the night for her. I was like a salivating puppy next to her; all I wanted to do was like at the ice cream that was melting in her bowl. She knew it was tough for me so she poured water over the remaining ice cream so that it wouldn't tempt me (bless her heart); little does she know if I really wanted it water would not have stopped me! So sad. But, as much as I did want it, I want to healthy more! So there the ice cream sat...soggy and uneaten by me.. GOOOOOO ANGELA, and happy birthday grammy!
Love Angela
