Social gatherings... I blow it every time!
7 AM tea--nothing wrong with that!
9:30 AM late breakfast at Zinc. Shared scrambled eggs and bagel with Ellie. Cup of coffee.
10:40 AM gym. 20 minutes elliptical, 1 hour with Shanna. She works me hard!
1 PM lunch. Slice of cold meatloaf, a dollop of cottage cheese.
Out for the entire afternoon on errands. No snack.
5:30 snack--crackers and cheese and a glass of fumé blanc. Well, maybe two glasses over pleasant--and surprising!--conversation.
6:30 dinner at Roux, the new Creole restaurant down the hill. Shared a salad and shared the catfish dish with Ellie. More wine. And dessert. We ordered two for the table, sent one back, enjoyed the other.
A very rich meal, even though we shared. And altogether too much wine for one evening... Just being sociable, I tell myself.
