#45. Take my mother out to dinner

Good grief! I've passed the 10% milestone of my days but feel like I've been an absolute slug the last month or so. With less than 900 days left I certainly haven't finished 10% of my goals. After the holidays it is time to buckle down again.

One item that I can mark off, but forgot to mention, was to take my mother out to dinner. When we visited her at Thanksgiving, she wanted to go to this Italian restaurant, Buca di Beppo She called it a food museum. So the day after turkey day, off we go to this crazy place covered floor to ceiling with photographs of Italians and Italian-Americans and all sorts of statuary and do-dads. She had reserved the Frank Sinatra booth but it was not empty when we arrived. She was PO'd about that but there were plenty of empty spaces so we had another booth with murals of ladies and fountains.

The food was good. Really big portions, even the single-serving entries were huge. It was fun.
