Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Friday, 2/9/2018

It's Friday! Yay! And today is Art's 40th birthday! Eek! I have a good day planned - fitness classes in the morning, research in the afternoon.

QOTD: What fictional place would you most like to go? (I'll answer in a comment.)

1: protein shake
2: leftover pork tenderloin
3: grilled chicken balls (from the Japanese cookbook), rice for the guys

liquid and vites: on track
exercise: zenga class, tai chi class, pilates class

How about you? What're you doing today?

QOTD: I wouldn't want to live there forever, or anything, but I'd like to visit Jurassic Park. Because, OMG, dinosaurs! Before everything goes to hell and the dinosaurs start killing the visitors, though.

I'm feeling really good this morning. I opted out of any valium before bed and slept about the same as with it, but my head is much clearer this morning. So I guess that med is gone too, I added all the narcotics back to the safe, lol. Today is also my last day of antibiotics and I only have three jabs of Lovenox left! Woot!

Jon's bringing me so I can go out to lunch with my co-workers. We also badly need to do at least a small grocery shopping run at some point in the very near future.

QOTD: I want to live on Earth during the year 3,000 from Futurama. It's our families favorite show, lol. Yes, the kids included. No that doesn't make us amazing parents.

Yay being almost finished with drugs!

Good morning and happy birthday to Art! We are going to Venice this afternoon to shop, looking for an occasional table and art for the walls. I especially need a large ocean type canvas for over the sofa. There is a nice one at the decorator who is recovering our furniture cushions, but it is $329. I'd like to see if we can spend less than that. We saw one for $40 yesterday but it looked like a storm over the ocean (too dark for me). We did get a small canvas for one of the rooms for $15 of a sailboat (pic below), so I think we should be able to get something for over the sofa for cheap too. We are going back to the store where we got the sailboat because we didn't have time to peruse everything yesterday. We are also going to another huge art outlet where they have lots of local artists prints and paintings. Hopefully we will find something! After the shopping we are going out to dinner with friends in the area.

QOTD: I'm still reading the Outlander series, so right now I'd like to be in Scotland in the past. The scenes in my head when I am reading are so beautiful.

It took me a minute to realize which Venice you meant! I got my mom hooked on Outlander - oops ;)

Thanks for the birthday wishes for Art!

Well, I wi**** was the other Venice!

Happy birthday to Art! 40... one of those numbers! Today is cleaning out and re-arranging the spare room. It has become a storage room due to us having to move out of the master bedroom and now we need some stuff that is buried in there... so...

QOTD: I would love to live on Ringworld. A fantastic series by Larry Niven.

I've told Art it's the prostate exam birthday! Woo!

I love Larry Niven!
