Little Happy Moments

Indulge me for a moment while I post this photo of my Eldest (the blonde) warming up with her teammates before a track conference meet yesterday.

My Valentine's Day Mastication Massacre

...Or, "Marie can be really expensive dinner date," says her sweet husband.

I'll spare you the unpleasant details, but will say that I spent the majority of the day with a large piece of pork lodged in my esophagus.

Last night my dear husband took me out for what was to be a scrumptious dinner for two at a Blowing Rock restaurant. I took one bite of my grilled pork tenderloin (I should have stuck with my first choice of grouper) and the euphoria of being on a date with my husband came to an end. It felt horrible people. And it was embarrassing. Really.

I spent the day in the hospital waiting to have a get-it-out-ectomy. For the record, it killed me to be in there, to be privy to all kind of interesting sights, and not have my camera with me.

But it is over. I am all better. And now you know why there is no photo on my blog today.
