Went to the Vortex last night for a friend’s B-Day dinner.  I’m not the biggest fan of The Vortex because there really aren’t any healthy options there – but at the same time, I’m a big fan of it because of all those awful choices proudly displayed on the menu.  What’s your fancy?  A “Coronary Bypass Burger” – A burger with some fried eggs on it?  Or perhaps the “Elvis Burger” – A burger with peanut butter and fried bananas?  As one can see, any semblance of eating healthy is completely taken out of the equation.  I am a big fan of the Vortex’s creativity.  But something so benign as getting bleu cheese on your burger turns into a deep sea bleu cheese adventure.  It’s none of that girly bleu cheese crumbles, but a slathering – a heaping – mound of bleu cheese.  I think they literally take an ice cream scoop and dip it in a bucket of bleu cheese and plop it on your burger.  Just ask my friend Katie, ’cause it’s what she got.

Well, I was happy to go and celebrate my friend’s B-Day.  I ended up getting a turkey burger w/ no bun – cheddar cheese – and a side of cole slaw.  It was the best choice I could have made I think.  I didn’t want another salad since I had one for lunch.  I did steal a few tots from a neighboring plate.  Mmmmmmmm.  Tots!  

I realized today that my running group starts in 3 weeks!  I am nervous and excited!  I need to get some new workout clothes.  I realized that due to vacations and a few weekend get-a-ways I’ve committed to, I’m actually going to miss 4 out of the 10 scheduled running days.  I guess I will just have to make up for it o my own – which is fine.  I feel bad, but I guess they have to expect folks will miss some since it’s prime time for summer vacay’s!  

Oooooh, I’m off to test drive some cars right now!  I am really excited.  I’ve driven the same car since I was 15, and I love my Volvo, but alas, I think his time is near…

The weather is FINALLY nice today.  Talk about seasonal depression!!  Although I heard that next week we might have snow flurries.  Insane!
