A Monday in February. Nothing screams excitement like a title of that sort. Just another mundane day in an uneventful week, so it seemed. It did have a touch of flair added to it. Bobbi was off school today for Presidents' Day (like it's a holiday or something). She spent the night and so we had the day together, which was so nice because we hadn't had that in a long while. We did some fun things together and then I got my dancing in for a half hour. It was actually fun because I had someone to talk to while I danced and lately I've been dancing alone because Maunie has been busy with pre-deployment things. I understand though and there is plenty of time for weight loss!
Today I had a roast beef sandwich, less than 250 calories and lots of carrots. For some reason lately I enjoy baby carrots with no dressing; they taste sweet to me of late. Also for dinner my mom and I made a recipe off the top of our heads with the few ingredients that my mother's cupboard had. We put boneless skinless chicken in a skillet with some EVOO. When it was steamed to done we added sliced onion, diced tomatoes, cornstarch, nature's seasoning, italian essence, basil, salt, and pepper. As a side, we cooked Kulski noodles and added shaker Parm and basil. SO AMAZING. I don't think I have ever had a chicken and noodle (non-pasta-like) combination like that in my life. ITALIAN! YUM! Try it sometime, all of you!
Lately, Mark and I have been weighing the pros and cons of moving to Norfolk. We are thinking about relocating to Norfolk for the summer, just three or four months to get used to the area and see where we want to be. I would hate to think what if when we are old and think about not taking a chance. Derrick and Maunie have been amazingly accommodating to let us, if we decide, to stay with them and save up money so we can have a stepping stone before we move in the next status in our relationship (heart!) So we are going back and forth about things. Leaving my mom and sister would be the hardest thing. It was so hard being away from them once, and I'm not sure that I want to do it again. Also finding doctors now that I am cancer-free. That is another worry of mine and always will be. However, I know that I can't live my life with a what if, because it will eat me up inside. As a great movie once quoted, " "What" and "If" are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: What if? What if? What if?"
