11 feb 2010

didn't get to bed until after 3:00 last night. i took a two hr nap in front of the tv and that left me feeling wide awake around midnight.

woke up at 8:00 feeling pretty rested. i kept thinking it was friday.

breakfast

bagel w/ butter
grits
banana
coffee
oj

snack

toast (2 sl)
orange (half)
iced tea

they plowed sometime this morning so we thought we'd go to the bank and run some other errands. Beverly Court was beautiful. Almost bare pavement. The hill on Greystone wasn't too bad. Passable with the sun out but it looked like it would be very icy in the early morning. South Hill was just ridiculous. Terrible job of plowing. Even in full sunshine it was pretty bad. Kelly and Broad Run Church were not nearly as good as I would have expected. We nearly got stuck at three points on Kelly. 29 was beautiful. Dry pavement. Lanes and most of the shoulders clear.

lunch

bacon turkey bravo sandwich
half Greek salad
apple
iced tea

at Panera. Very good.

snack

caffe mocha

at Starbucks. OK. I like the caffe mocha at Caribou much better.

dinner

chicken and dumpling soup
bagel w/ cream cheese
iced tea

the soup was Campbell's Chunky soup and it was surprisingly good.

dessert

ice cream w/ a banana (almost a banana split)

We watched an old favorite after dinner: Sense and Sensibility by Ang Lee. Such a beautiful movie. Amazing cast. For me Elizabeth Spriggs and Robert Hardy are the absolute delights of the movie. Although Hugh Laurie and Imelda Staunton playing a married couple again as in Peter's Friends and the delicious Imogene Stubbs are wonderful in their own rights. I don't think there is any one in the movie who isn't excellent. A tremendous treat for a winter night.
