Ground Control to Major Tom

This is certainly been a long week. And it is not quite over yet! I closed the store by myself for the first time this week. Everything went okay except that the alarm company called my boss after we closed because it didn’t set properly. Luckily I live 2 minutes away and it wasn’t an issue.

My brother is coming to stay with us this weekend. He became a truck driver a couple of months ago and he drives through Detroit quite a bit. We had breakfast with him two weeks ago. It was the first time I had seen it in almost four years. It was nice. A little awkward/uncomfortable but still nice. Since I don’t get to see my family very often, its nice the little time I do get to see some of them.

Off to work! It should be a good day, I am only working a half day but then a half day tomorrow (boo!) too.

Project Runway just isn’t the same without Tim Gunn. And Heidi Klum. And Michael Kors. Oh, and also Nina Garcia

So Chris and I have pretty much given up on the Dukan Diet. Sure, it works and we saw results (both of us lost almost 25lbs), but the diet itself stinks! I was so sick of eating all the protein. So we are giving weight watchers a go.

I bought one of the cookbooks this week and made my first recipe from it. Multi Grain Blueberry scones. They didn’t look as nice as the picture, but they turned out pretty tasty.

For dinner tonight; Chinese Noodle Soup. Making it in my new cast iron dutch oven!
