Hello! Well, I have spent the day being lazy and hanging out with Adam and Oscar. After my hectic week, it feels great to hang around and chill out a little bit. I got so much done at work yesterday, it was kind of amazing! While working in the afternoon, I snacked on 1/2 of a clif bar.

After work I headed home to get dolled up for Adam’s Captain’s retirement party. The party was actually for his Captain and a few Sergeants that were retiring from Adam’s station.

Here is my outfit:

Purple Donna Rico dress and Black suede Michael Kors pumps.

I had 2 malibu and pineapples at the start of the night and then had a few bud lights after that.

A fancy four course meal was served. Salad:

Pasta:

The main dish was grilled chicken, prime rib and a whole lot of veggies. I at the chicken and veggies and gave the prime rib to some of the guys at our table since I don’t eat red meat.

The cake was sooo good! I think it tasted extra good since I gave up sweets (besides celebration cakes (weddings, birthdays and retirement parties)). I ate my whole piece!

Here are a few pictures from the night, I had a good time. Adam’s co-workers are so fun, I love hanging out with them.

Me and my friend Caitlin! Cait and I have been close friends since our first day of High School, her fiance and Adam actually works at the same station.

Mel and I.

Kevin and I

Mel and Kevin, aren’t they an adorable couple?! We all had a great night!!!!

Adam and I slept in until 9:30 this morning…I needed it!!!! When we got up we made breakfast. I had an egg (whole egg) sandwich with veggie sausage and cheddar cheese on whole wheat toast with some blueberries and kiwi on the side. Yes, I eat the kiwi skin, I like it

and some coffee, obvi!

After breakfast we watched CNN to see the coverage on the earthquake in Chili. It seems like it is causing a sunami in Hawaii. Adam’s sister and her husband are on vacation there right now and they have been evacuated. It’s pretty scary! After we had enough of CNN, I somehow managed to convince Adam to watch Romeo and Juliet with me I am a huge Shakespeare freak for those of you who don’t know that. I took a number of courses about him as an undergrad and have managed to read his complete works of the course of a few years. I actually took a trip to the house he was born in a few years ago and totally got teary eyed when I was told I was standing in the exact spot where he was born. Pretty cool!!!!

For lunch, we ordered pizza. I had two sliced of veggie pizza: spinach, mushrooms, olives and tomatoes with whole wheat crust and a little arugula salad. I also had a tiny handful of Adam’s fries that managed to escape my camera. They were really crunchy, so I had to have some. I love them like that.
