Too full, now I am miserable.

My husband sold a truck load of "junk" and we used some of the money to eat out.  We have not eaten out in quite some time.  We felt as if it was important to "have a night out together".  We don't do this enough, but when he is not sober I have no desire to eat out in public with him.  Anyway, tonight we went to the Amish restaurant, 9 miles south of us.  It was worth the drive.  Have any of  you eaten Amish food before?  Well, it is truly downhome cooking and delicious.  Friday nights are all you can eat catfish and meatloaf and ham.  (This restaurant is only buffet style).  So, Gordon loaded up on the catfish.  I am only fond of how he cooks fish so I did not get the fish.  I got the meatloaf and some ham.  But it was the sides that has caused me to be so full that I am miserable.  Their cream corn is like corn pudding instead.  And I get half a plate full of that for sure.  The potatoes are real not instant and the gravy is not from a package.  I got the green beans too. I am not a veggie person, but theirs had chunks of bacon in them and they were really good.  I got pecan pie.  I would have left with a whole pie had I felt like splurging and paying $8 for a pecan pie.  I never get a salad at buffets. I don't want to fill up on salad and have no room for the meal.  Gordon ate two plates of fish.  Before he got sick he could have eaten at least four plates full.  All in all the meal was very good and now I am so full I can't stand it. I am glad I was still wearing my scrubs when he decided we needed to eat out.  I never went home to change my clothes after work.  I got the night off from the store.  Gordon is asleep and I plan on getting there soon.  I did not have to work tonight and I am off on a Saturday.  I don't think there will be garage/yard sales since it stormed last night and rained today.  But maybe there will be one.  I am only going to look for things I can put in a basket for our church's women retreat in Sept.  Found two never used journals the other day.  I am torn whether to keep them for myself or put them in the basket.  Hard decision for sure.  Well, time for me to do some homework.  I am yawning and I may just skip it and catch on some very much needed sleep.  But maybe I will get to watch something like cupcake wars or a cake decorating show or something since Gordon is not watching tv.  This may turn out to be a good day afterall. 

Hope all is well with you and may you know how much you are loved.  Marshel
