We were on a cleaning rampage today!  We threw in laundry, did the dishes, emptied the dishwasher, cleaned both bathrooms, the kitchen, all flooring, and dusted the entire house – we were on a mission!   We were originally going to just relax but figured we’d rather relax on Saturday & Sunday instead and get all of our “chores” done now

Mid-afternoon, I decide to make some brownie cookies using No-Pudge brownie mix since we are having some friends over tomorrow.  While making them, somehow three of them wound up in my tummy…

Since we had just cleaned the house, I really didn’t feel like cooking so we decided to take advantage of the massive amount of gift cards we have accumulated and get Outback Curbside To-Go.  Outback is Bill’s favorite restaurant – besides Ruth’s Chris   I ordered the house salad with tangy tomato dressing to start with:

For my entree, I ordered a sweet potato with a 6 ounce well-done Outback Special.  Once I started eating, I filled up quite fast.  It seems like on days that I don’t workout, my appetite is not all quite there – so weird!  I wound up eating half of the sweet potato and half of the steak (so about 3 oz).  I’m planning on eating the rest of it tomorrow for lunch.

A little after dinner, we decided to dig into the dessert that my grandmom sent home with us, since I didn’t consume enough desserts in one day (kidding, of course):  homemade cheesecake!  Delish and the perfect way to end our meal   Now, Bill and I are collapsed on the sofa, relaxing and watching Elf - a great movie to start the holiday season!!!

Tomorrow will probably be a little chaotic with spinning & rushing to get to my dress appointment, so I’ll be back in the afternoon with a post
