Is that the old jingle for Red Lobster? Or is it Chi-Chis? I think it is (or at least I’ve been singing it in my head like it is) 
Happy Friday kiddos! Excited for the weekend?
I am, but starting tomorrow at about 6am – I’m going to be going NON-STOP until next Friday. That’s fantastic (lots of awesome things planned), and bad (so flippin busy) at the same time! Wish me luck! 
Snacks yesterday included….one of these suckers:
So good – it’s only 40 calories – and tastes like an sticky Fruit Roll-Up (I know – how is that possible?? It is!) and some pretzels for a salty finish:
For lunch – a salad, which doesn’t look so good, but I assure you – it was!
With a side of the left over tempeh from last night!
These were just as good reheated – although the picture does look kinda grody (made up word? I don’t know? Pronounced: Grow-D)
Mike’s on Spring Break this week – so he had plenty of time to think about what was for dinner. The verdict? Red Lobster! I was happy with that – because it meant I didn’t need to cook! 
We started off with some Lobster Nachos:
I honestly could have LICKED THIS PLATE CLEAN it was so delicious, but I tried to control myself and had about 10 chips or so.
Since this IS Mike’s Spring Break – I figured adult beverages were only appropriate – so we ordered a bottle of wine!
Just a simple Chardonnay, but a very tasty addition to any Thursday evening.
I always forget how much food you get at Red Lobster. By the time I was finished with the salad, I was stuffed!
But that didn’t stop my entree from coming! I ordered the half salmon dish – and ended up only eating a tiny bit of the fish, and the broccoli – everything else went in a to-go-box!
We headed home to watch the Office (IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THE OFFICE YET – SKIP THIS PARAGRAPH) – but holy crap! Can you even believe Michael quit? Next week is going to be good, I ‘m EXTREMELY interested to see where this goes!
This morning – more of the same!
Delicious steel cut spicy oats! MMMMM! :mgreen:
Do to my left overs from dinner – I had the most impressive lunch for salad that I’ve had in a very long time! Check me out:
Aren’t I fancy? 
On top of being fancy – I’m adventurous too!
I ATE A KIWI WITH THE SKIN ON! And it wasn’t terrible! I was actually pleasantly surprised!
Then these puppies came later in the day:
That’s about it! The schedule from here on out looks like this:
- finish work
- dinner then 6 mile run (since I don’t feel like waking up at 4am tomorrow morning to do my long run)
- sleep
- up, out the door early (with Lando!) to go to beautiful Macungie, PA to visit our friends
- party, visit, drink too much, sleep
- drive back to C-town Sunday
- run around in the remainder of the day I have left on Sunday, in a panic trying to get ready for crazy week at work
- Monday – Friday: work meetings, work gatherings, work meals, work parties, work presentations, work work, etc. (Basically sleep is the only task I’ll be doing with out “work” in the title next week)
Happy Friday! Hope you have a great weekend!

OK-so one you went to Red Lobster and ate those CHEDDAR BISCUITS without me so we are not friends, even though I stopped being friends with you when Yoshy-Poo called me this week and I learned about your trip to PA. So we really are done! Mike tried to convince me I could come too…but that would be a long trip. Also those Lando pics remind me of Mario when he was a dishwashing rug pooping dog. Also I have no computer, mine died…and I can’t look at it at school because you had to put the word WINE in the title and apparently Wine is not appropriate for school aged children to read or see anything about.

Ooh yay! It’s not bad, right? The kiwi with the skin on, that is. I just love how nutritious it probably is.
What are you busy with? Don’t leave me hanging…cuz! :p

Red Lobster is always a treat, especially when it involves wine. I’m missing both profusely right now.
That 2nd picture looks EXACTLY like Macy. It you walk to the mailbox without taking her with you she’ll pout for hours once you get back. Puppy guilt trip.
