Spaghetti and meatballs

I really don't have anything specific to say but thought I shoud add another blog entry. Went out for Valentine's dinner last night...favorite Italian restaurant...called ahead to make sure we could have the spaghetti and meatballs (my favorite at this place) even though they had a set menu for the big night. We were assured this would be no problem but it was. When we got to the restaurant and tried to order the spaghetti and meatballs we were told it was impossible. And the menu choices were pretty limited for me...3 fish dishes (hate fish), one mushroom and veal dish (mushrooms give me a rash) and peppercorn steak (I'm avoiding meat, especially red meat). I sucked it up and ate the steak, which admittedly was very good but I felt cheated. So, looks like a repeat visit to this restaurant this week for the spaghetti and meatballs. I have to satisfy my craving or I'll never stop obsessing about it! They are that good! In all honesty, in my 37 years I have never tried spaghetti and meatballs, ever, until a month ago with my mom, at this same restaurant. I think I saw an ad on TV with spaghetti and meatballs during my 'post chemo protein craving phase' and I was determined to have them! Now I'm hooked. I can't believe my whole blog entry is about this! Other than my current food addiction...looks like chemo is postponed until Thursday instead of Tuesday (my counts are too low) but I'm not complaining! Even though its my last treatment, I'm happy to have a few more days of feeling good before another hit. And of course, waiting on the other big thing going on in my life which I won't mention now...only if it works...stay tuned for that. Life is an emotional roller coaster again, for the time being. I tend to minimalize how much is going on in my life and don't recognize the impact it has on me until others point it out, which they have and I'm thankful they do. It makes me stop and take five instead of bulldozing through it all. But I'm holding my own and somehow get by. Good things this year, good things for 2009, I still fully believe that is true for me.
