Mom? Is That You?

We're having friends over tonight. My wife has been a cleaning and cooking machine since very early this morning.

I went upstairs for a minute after getting of of a call with someone I was checking a reference with who basically gave a horrible reference to my candidate. I can see a very large fee disappear.

When I arrived upstairs, I saw a big container of quinoa in a storage thingee.

"Quinoa!" I checked Livestrong. 200 calories a cup. Seems like a lot.of calories.

"I think I'll pass. Too many calories for so early in the day"

"Don't stop eating quinoa. It's one of the healthiest foods you can eat. Dr. Galland says its one of the super foods. Don't start counting calories. Eat healthy . . . "yadda yadda yadda.

To make a short story shorter. I caved in and had some. I'm not happy with myself but I ate a cup of quinoa because I was anxious about the deal and it was pretty close to lunch time so I did it.

It was my Mom's voice from when I was a kid. Eat! Eat! It's good for you.

Along with it were the words, "You're getting fat. Stop eating so much."

So I limited it and didn't go nuts."

I'm worried about this new deal PLUS I have several more behind it..

Breathe.
