Today is the big fete for Jill—I have spent much of the past few weeks thinking about it, and planning it. As I write this we are going to be nearly 1 hour late because our children are really—how can I say it—not cooperating. Today, with the knowledge that I might be faced with a lot of yummy, non-SoBerific food, I have tried to eat accordingly today. I didn't really succeed (the morning started with nearly twice my ration of turkey bacon) but I did try.
Breakfast
Two Eggs (Successfully delivered, though I for the first time I actually threw away a broke-yolk after I cracked it and started again)
Three and 1/2 Strips Turkey Bacon
Tea
Snack
1 Cheese Stick
30 Pistachios
15 Almonds
1 Granny Smith Apple
Lunch
Greek Salad with Tuna
Pre-Dinner
Yogurt with Strawberries
Party Dinner
Blue Ribbon BBQ- Ribs, Burnt Ends
Salad
Pickles
Mixed Nuts
At Jill's party I did manage to eschew all the torments: alcohol, corn bread and sheet cake. Having a my pre-dinner allowed me to manage my hunger so I wasn't ravenous and out of control when I go there. Having worked at Domania for so long allowed me to understand the yummy quality of the amazing sheet cake (a golf tableau with pugs) from Icing on the Cake and skip eating any of it. I grabbed a handful of mixed salted nuts and that was my dessert. By the time shots came up, I was nursing my club soda. It was a great party, and I left without any real diet slippage.

My Dearest Robzy:
Thank you so much for assisting with the planning and throwing of my party. I know it was really hard for you to be so "good" (about food anyway) considering a lot of your favorite foods - which happen to also be mine (?) were on the menu.
Did you eat the puppy and not the puff to make it sobedible?
Also- when I hugged you I notice there was much less of you to love but I love you more. How does that happen?---
Where is your Mom going? I miss her already.
