My Weekend

Kent is away for meetings in St. Louis. He’s coming home tonight. It’s been a nice weekend. Yesterday was rainy, but I decided to make it a day that I just did things that I wanted to do - for myself.

I went to get my haircut. Actually, I got more than that. It turned out to be a full color, followed by highlights and lowlights. It sounds complicated, but it’s not if you have someone doing it who knows what they are doing, and she does.

After that, I went to the health club for a workout. I did pretty well - 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer, followed by 20 laps in the pool, followed by the jacuzzi. After that, I stopped by Panera for a chicken-sesame salad. Then I came home and vegged out.

I’m such a home body. I’m about to go make some polenta for dinner. It will be baked and cut up. It will be served alongside grilled tuna steaks, which will be on a bed of julienne vegetables consisting of zucchini, eggplant, and artichoke hearts marinated in lime, olive oil, and garlic. I’ll add salad with a sesame and balsamic vinegar dressing with feta cheese. An hour before dinner, I’m going to make bruchetta served with white wine.

Why all the fuss? Well, Kent is coming home.
