Garlicky and Gone

Last night I tried a new recipe. It was for Garlicky Grilled Pork Chops. I am not kidding when I tell you that these are the best pork chops I have ever had. They were super easy to prepare too!

The recipe came from a circular in the local paper called DASH but they also have a website Next time, I want to try the lime chicken Kebabs with Mango salsa. Yummers!

I got Dave dropped off at the hospital at 5:30 a.m. this morning. I am generally up at that hour but not driving. He did not seem too nervous and I did not cry too much so that was good. They are supposed to call me when he is done with the surgery so I can alert his family. I will most likely wait until tomorrow night to go see him. I can't imagine he will be up for too much today. He got everything packed up and put into storage so that was an accomplishment too. Now I need to Katie-fy my place again. A cleansing of sorts :-)

My weight has been holding steady even after drinking on Sunday. Now that a lot of pressure is off I can really focus my attention on ME. I can't be helpful to others if I don't take care of myself. One thing I did yesterday for Danielle and myself was buy 10 sessions of Bikram yoga. I am going to channel my inner Kelly and break out of my norm. I have never really taken a formal yoga class except for the gym offered classes and even then it's been years. I need to check their schedule to see when we can go. Until next time...



P.S. One more day until I announce the winner of the giveaway, have you entered it yet?
