Spending Some QT

Day 190 in my quest to be a better me when I meet Mickey

My Valentine is taking me out for dinner tonight, so today’s plan is to not overdo it.  I plan to make the best choices possible.  It is a holiday, so I will thoroughly enjoy our date.  BUT I won’t use it as an excuse to overeat.  Instead I want to concentrate on my man, our conversation, and just our quality time together.  A simple enough plan for a simple enough me on a simple enough date.

Meet you at the Kingdom!

Happy VD!

Day 189 in my journey to meet Mickey

Today is all about VD.

What?  I only mean Valentine’s Day.  My Valentine has been conscripted to spend tomorrow night and Sunday night housesitting. So tonight I made him the meal that helped him to fall in love with me.  Meatloaf, baked potato, and lots of fresh veggies with his favorite, Ranch dip.  Seriously, he LOVES my meatloaf.  🙂

I have adapted my recipe as follows: I now use 90% lean ground beef, onion, garlic, reduced-sugar catsup, yellow mustard, one egg, salt, pepper and moistened whole grain bread.  It is such a satisfying meal on a cold winter’s night.

Tonight is all about pampering my main squeeze.  (I made sure to run out and pick up a card for him for tomorrow morning.)  He still makes my heart pitty-patter.  He is the love of my life, second only to Jesus.  🙂

I am wishing you love for this holiday.  And if you don’t have a Valentine this year, then treat yourself special.  After all if we are supposed to love our neighbors as ourselves, then we’d better learn to love ourselves, right?  Happy VD!

Meet you at the Kingdom!
