PF Chang's, no thank you!

Most people that know me would say I am not into any weird foods at all! If it isn't meat and potatoes or something my mom makes, I have no interest. Well poor John loves all sorts of food, especially Chinese. Last night we decided to go out for a nice, romantic meal. I was feeling saucy and decided to make a reservation at PF Chang's because John and I had heard it was awesome and there is a limited few Chinese foods I will try. I must have been feeling really ambitious because I ordered the roasted duck with wheat rolls. I know, I can't believe I ate duck. I never have because my parents have always had pet ducks and I feel guilty. Well I hated it anyway. John ordered an appetizer of some chicken stuff that was the best thing we ate, and his meal of spicy chicken was sub par. I could eat it so I do not see how it was so spicy! What a waste, but now we know that place is no good. While leaving John said, " hey there is a new steak house, Flemmings should have gone there." I would have much preferred that. LOL!
We then went to Costco because we haven't been in months and what a waste of membership. All I needed was milk and laundry soap, so $80 later we were done. Actually getting out of Costco with just an $80 bill is pretty good. We bought a big box of Huggies. Size one so they should fit long enough. 228 diapers for $30, we thought it was an excellent deal, who knows. The funniest thing was the box said they were "baby shaped." I didn't realize that most diapers are not baby shaped, rather shaped for dogs or something??? Perhaps not funny to most people but John and I were very amused. Then while we were out there I got John to go to Old Navy to continue our hunt for the perfect bring home the baby outfit. We failed, but managed to get a little grey fleece jogging suit and a full coat like thing for winter that is cream and fleece with two little bear ears. John said you know it will be December we need a warm coat for going to your parent's house all the time to visit. Good for you mom, I guess this means we will be back a lot. LOL! You just can't stop John when it comes to clothes shopping for baby. I am really good about not getting anything since my sisters are giving me their stuff, but John sees something cute and can't resist.
So all and all an exciting night, for us anyway. We got home by 9 and we were spent. Went to head to bed to watch the shows we missed and I noticed Harlequin had apparently been under the shed because her chest was all hard mud. Ugh, so after a bath for her I was ready for bed, and she was hyper from bath time. We had gotten the dogs massive rawhide bones at Costco so then Harley and Daisy wanted to play and chew on them, ALL NIGHT! I got very little sleep again between that and back pain. This sleepless night thing has to stop. I should at least be getting sleep while I can because I know I won't once the baby arrives.

Hope you are feeling better. Sleeping with one of those big body pillows helped my back immensely until I got to month 8. Try it - it might help. Not much I can do for your snoring husband or bone-chewing dogs though :)

Hey Veronica! You should try Shanghai Chinese resturant in Waukee if you like Chinese food. It seriously is the best around, and they have normal food, that has REALLY good flavor!! OH, and try the new Texas Roadhouse on 86th street. Make sure you do call ahead seating there!! It is the best!!! Hope all is well!!! Jen
