Snow, Dinner and The Toilet

Yup, doing a double post today.  I've pre-written a couple but since the weather is playing a huge part in my life right now...It is quite beautiful this early, early morning and I'm happy to be all safe and warm at home today.  The Hubby is being a real hard headed guy this morning.  He is pretty determined that he can go work out at Hillcrest (not going to be open!) and then on to the office (where none of our guys are going to be there).  For gosh sakes we can not even see the road out in front of our house for the blowing stuff and the pile up.  He will drive me a bit crazy stuck inside but at least I know he will be safe, if I can keep him in!

Last night I suggested that we go out to dinner before the blizzard hit and so we finally got to Polo Grill to enjoy dinner, a belated anniversary dinner.  Delicious.  I was told by friends that the escargot was a great appetizer so we tried it, wonderful.  The had marinated olives that were delicious along with some designer kinds of breads.  I had a bowl of lobster bisque soup that made me swoon.  I told The Hubby that if I was sick that is what I wanted him to bring me.  Oh my gosh a bowl of heaven.  Then we both got an entree of salmon something.  I wasn't too impressed with mine but it was a nice evening.  We told the waiter about us trying to eat there for our anniversary on a Sunday to find the doors closed and he asked how long we had been married.  We asked him to guess, 14 - 15 years...hmmm, we laughed.  He was being nice I'm sure as we told him 35 years.  He surprised us with glasses of champagne on the house with some chocolate bits.  Nice meal, well it would be if I could have kept it down.  I don't know if I had a bit of stomach virus, a bought with gall bladder or again a sensitivity to salmon but the toilet and I were friends last night.  Oh my gosh, that expensive dinner and it went swirling last night.  I also had a fever or something and sweat my but off too.  Hungry this AM but not sure I'm putting anything back in for a bit.  Not a good way to diet I must say.
