Today is Jan’s
birthday! She hosted a swimming party because 2 others of our group had
birthdays this month – Marie Sept. 15, Julie, Sept. 24, and Jan, and Diane
retired the end of August. I bought birthday gifts for the 3 birthday girls and
had them wrapped and ready to go. I texted Jan to ask her what I should get
Diane for a retirement gift. She told me not to bring gifts. I pulled the
birthday cards out of the packages and took only the cards. EVERYONE else
brought gifts. The gifts I got them weren’t cheap, and they were thoughtful.
Jan told everyone what happened. I told them I’d save them for Christmas.
She ordered
enchiladas, fajitas, and all the trimmings. I passed on the alcohol, I ate my
weight in nuts, but I passed on the tortilla chips. Then the enchiladas arrived
without the fajitas, so I made a little davy dip with the queso, chile, and
guacamole, and put it on some cheese crackers (crackers made with gouda
cheese). She sent Charlie to another Mexican restaurant nearby for the fajitas.
And they were delicious. I ate fajitas, and I was stuffed. Then when they had
cake, I ate more fajitas. That way, I was eating and having a good time instead
of just watching them eat carrot cake (one of my absolute favorites), vanilla
pudding, and ice cream. I drank water all day. They had margaritas and Jello
shots. I kept telling them that I just started losing weight and I didn’t want
to mess it up. And I didn’t feel deprived.
