Doctor dilemmas

While I was sitting in the waiting room at my son's doctor specialist for 45 minutes, I realized what a time suck this occupation can be.  I ended up doing my Weight Loss Challenge sit ups while waiting.   I mean, my time is as valuable as hers.  It is not like this is the first time it has happened.  I consistently wait 45 minutes at each visit.  Considering this visit was a "pre-surgical check up" (her words-- which consisted of her looking at him and declaring him healthy) for her to get her $20 copay and nothing more, I was more than a little miffed.  (Thank goodness my generous parents babysat Juliet while I took Bennett.)

In any event, it was lovely to come home to a delicious crockpot Minestrone soup.  What a treat on a cold winter night.  I do love a good soup!  It is to be 30 degrees tonight.  I love that too, but wish I had cuter cold weather clothing.  Three pairs of sub-par pants aren't really cutting it.

Last night we used up some more of the Asian Shredded Pork to make soft tacos.  They were delish!  I will still get one more meal from that roast and that makes me so happy.  Stretching that dollar is terrific.
