It's Wednesday!

Well today it's Wednesday. It's a day with a lot of meaning for a lot of different people. Or perhaps no meaning at all, and that's ok too. For some it's hump day, and it means the week is winding down and the weekend is close. For me it is Wednesday weigh in......clean sheet Wednesday.....and Sushi Wednesday!!! Such an exciting day...if it all works out that is!

Let's talk about sushi Wednesday. We go most Wednesdays with our neighbors and best friends, to a restaurant called Blue Fin. We love the sushi there. It is fresh, and the dishes are very creative and delicious. Here is a photo of a favorite. It's called spicy tuna sundae and I want it for my last meal. It has ahi tuna, avocado, nuts and a special spicy sauce, that may or may not have alot of sugar. In this one dish, I choose not to know this. It's just that good. And just that worth it!

Another highlight of Wednesday is clean sheets. Don't ask my why I choose this day to change them. For me, it's easier to do in the morning on this day than any other. I LOVE clean sheets. If I was Oprah or had a daily maid, I'd have them changed several times a week. But I'm not, so I don't. When we go to hotels, I have been known to take apart the beds, and look at the brand of sheets, down comforter, pillows and all the other bedding. I can be bed obsessed. In Italy I was amazed at how the sheets were white, soft, and crisp on the beds where we stayed. I love soft, white and crisp. I am not into soft and silky. I want soft and crisp. It may sound contradictory, but it is not. When you find the right sheets, you know that soft and crisp can coexist. I am still looking for that perfect sheet set. I have actually found online articles from others also searching for them. I'll post about that at another time! That being said, I love my bed, I love to sleep. I love crisp, soft, white sheets.I have modified it to look like so many of the beds I see in hotels. I have a very nice comforter, but now I fold it down at the bottom of my bed. I sandwich my down comforter between two sheets instead of a duvet. I have a strong dislike for duvets.I have been caught inside them too many times while trying to get the comforter down in the corners. I'm claustropobic and it's not good to caught inside a duvet! I also love pillows. I have lots of pillows on my bed. First there is a king size pillow, with a king size decorative pillow that matches the comforter in front. This is followed by two standard pillows on each side. Then I put the decorative fancy pillows in front. I make it this way every single day. I never have a day when I don't make my bed. As Martha Stewart once said, the bed is the biggest thing in the room. Even if everything else is a mess in your room, if your bed is made, it doesn't look so bad.So here is what my bed looks like. I really love my bed!

And that leaves the only other Wednesday highlight, which is my weigh in. This week was not what I was hoping for. I was up 4/10 of a pound. I had a goal to be down at least one. I guess that pizza comfort food and the extra carbs did me in. No worries. There is always next Wedesday to improve.
Sending you love and hugs!

Thought for the day: Wednesday, the fourth day of the week. The next day after Tuesday. Clean sheet, sushi, and weigh in day for some!
