Dinner is in the oven

I made a breakfast hash brown casserole for dinner. It has hash browns, sausage, egg and cheese. I've got it cooking for 45 minutes covered in aluminum foil. Then I'll cook it for another 10 uncovered so it can brown. I hope it comes out okay. If not, just another in the long line of dinner disasters. LOL

It's 2:40pm and I still haven't done much today beside let Bayou in and out and make dinner. I know I'll have a busy day tomorrow so I want to take it easy today. I'm not looking forward to going to the dentist but want to get the crown put on so I can chew on that side of my mouth again. I just hope I get out in time to go to my 10am meeting. If not I can always go to the noon meeting that Meredy leads. I've got to get the shopping done early though so I'm not crashing at dinner time. I still need to do the kitchen inventory and the meal planning. I can get that done later though. It won't take that long once I figure out what we have here to eat already. There's quite a bit in the freezer (hamburgers, steak, chicken) and the cupboards. I just have to look and figure out a meal plan.

I've been frustrated with Bayou today because she's going in and out so much. After a while it gets to me. I don't mean to yell at her but I do. I just apologized to her for yelling at her. I love her and don't mind taking care of her at all. It's just that opening the door for the 100th time is frustrating. As a matter of fact she wants to come in again now. Argh! She's been doing this new thing now though where she hits the door to come in and then walks away. Now that's frustrating. She's laying on the deck right now so I'll leave her out for a bit.

David will be home in about 15 minutes. It will be nice to have him here. I've felt lonely today. Not sure why but I do. Thankfully I didn't have any emotional eating because of it. I am craving a snack though. I need to find something easy to make that we can snack on but that I won't eat all at once. Maybe I'll get a box mix of brownies tomorrow. That might be good. I usually don't eat those all at once.

I'm still feeling good about losing 2 lbs and getting my 16 weeks charm. I hope I can make my next goal (to be down 20 lbs) by the end of the month. That's a little more than 2 weeks. I should be able to do it if I keep making better choices, drink lots of fluids and keep tracking everything. I'll get there eventually.

More later.
