A little bit of fail

So I cooked a roast chicken dinner tonight, but the fail lies where we didn't eat until 10pm! I know its the weekend, and Saturday so there is one more day of the weekend left, but I am trying to lose a little bit of lingering baby weight so like to try and eat dinner as early as possible... however the chicken was delicious, and the veges were pretty good (although just not quiet crispy enough) so overall it tasted really nice. I really am my own worst critic, in every way.. meh.

Yesterdays fail was rather epic, and not in a nice way. Friday night is our takeaway night of the week (yay!) and this week we decided to get chinese takeaway. Biting into my second dim sim, it hit what I thought was a bone, so pulled it out to discover it was not in fact a bone, but a piece of metal! I nearly threw up on the spot, and continued to dry reach for a good few minutes.

M phoned the restaurant for me to tell them, they said 'Free dim sim next time'. Sorry, but um we won't be eating from your restaurant.. ever again! Its a shame really as I've been eating from there since I was a small child. I don't know how long it will be before I'll be able to eat chinese without the mental image of the piece of metal running through my mind.

Gotta start somewhere

Tuesday are always busy for us. My MIL comes over to spend time with her precious first grandson, he loves it. He always knows who to expect when the front door opens and his eyes light up and a big toothy grin breaks all over his cute little face.

So in preparation for her visit I like our home to look as perfect as possible, so that means vacuuming, cleaning the kitchen and getting myself showered and dressed before she arrives, plus keeping the little man happy.

By the time she arrives I am a bit tired. She give little X his lunch and dessert, then its play time. Usually I head out for a half hour or so and get myself some sushi, but today I made myself a massive chicken salad sandwich. Once that was eaten I was ready for a little nap myself! A bit more playing with the little man, and then it was his nap time.

We usually sit here and chat or watch a bit of UK TV on foxtel, today I actually dozed off a little few times only for a few minutes. Definatley needed and I feel so much better for it!

Tonight I'm heading off to see Lisa Williams at the Gold Coast Arts Centre, which I'm really looking forward to! That reminds me I have to go and charge my camera battery so I can get a photo with her at the Members meet and greet after the show!
