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!
