Fun Weekend

Unfortunately I didn't get my spa treatment like I was hoping, but I had a good weekend anyway. The pedicure will have to wait until next weekend. We went to the LA boat show on Saturday. Some of those boats were amazing. They let you tour the yachts and so we did. The biggest one there was worth over a million dollars and was basically a house with a motor. It was crazy. I don't think I could live on a boat though. I am too clostrophobic and there is not enough cupboard space in the kitchen and too small of closets. It would be fun to have if you were rich and could go spend the summer on Lake Powell or somewhere similar. These are also designed so you could go to the caribbean by yourself. We looked at so many boats, they all started to blend together. Alden was interested in looking at the different ski boats since his parents boat is old and running out of steam. He is also helping his friend decide which ski boat to buy. It was a lot of walking but we had a good time. Alden is going to the show again today with his friend AJ who is in the market for a new ski boat.

On Sunday I made the corn chowder recipe that Jackie posted on her blog and it is yummy. Alden really liked it too. The recipe makes a big pot of soup but we are planning on freezing some to have in a few weeks. I made the low fat version with turkey bacon, fat-free half and half and fat free chicken broth. It turned out great.

I tried to take it easy this weekend because I have been getting a cold and I am trying to take a ton of vitamins to keep it from getting too bad. I think I got it from a patient that coughed right in my face. You would think that a 61 year old woman would know better and cover her mouth. But she didn't and I have been fighting a scrathy throat and a cough for four days now. One of the hazards of working in a hospital I guess.

Until next time...
