So Bryan is taking me out tonight, a sort-of farewell dinner and a pre-Mother’s Day dinner. It’s weird that Mother’s Day now applies to me. That’s very, very odd. Because even if you’re a stepmother, you’re not a mother. It’s just not the same. But now I have something living inside of me. (Admittedly, it kinda creeps me out.)
Anyway, back to stuff that doesn’t give me goosebumps: dinner. I have NO idea where to go. My stomach is just so finicky that I only know a few places are guaranteed to please. Surin is a safe bet. PoBoy’s is a safe bet. But we eat there ALL THE TIME. Shouldn’t this be special?
(Sidenote: has anyone seen commericals for the new scary flick, Bug? OHMYGOD, looks amazing. Has Ashley Judd in it [whom I've been compared to.. he must've been drunk], and it’s about bugs that live inside of you. Yes, I’m still thinking about that.)
Ask me what I’m hungry for. I’m going to tell you a tuna melt from Brewbaker’s or fruity chicken salad on a croissant from Clementine’s. Because THAT’S ALL I EVER WANT. And those places don’t do dinner.
If there’s one thing about this whole baby-makin’ thing that I could do without, it’s definitely the way it has shaken my appetite. I used to love food. Remember those days? When I would write entire posts about what we had for dinner? Now, I can’t even put the food away after we’ve eaten, because the sight of what I just digested makes me ill. I cooked the other night, and while I usually LOVE my own cooking, watching all of the ingredients combine made me sick. I had to force myself to eat it. I HAD TO FORCE MYSELF TO EAT FOOD. It was worth repeating.
So Bryan’s taking me out tonight. It may very well end up being Chick Fil A followed by Brusters, but we’re going out. It’s Mother’s Day, damnit.

Clementine’s in Jones Valley does dinner.
OOOOH.. but Bryan doesn’t like Clementine’s. Maybe I should just force him to Chef’s Table, since he doesn’t know whether he likes it or not.
