DH and I went out to dinner with friends Friday night at a place called The Melting Pot – a “fine wine and fondue” dining experience. Great fun and delicious food, but at $120 for the two of us, that was the most expensive dining experience I’ve ever had. No holding back in the interest of calorie counting for me – you’d better believe I relished EVERY bite. I ate so much I had trouble sleeping that night from slight indigestion (and it was a pretty late dinner, with reservations at 8pm). It will take me all week to work that off. But it was soooo good.

Jlynne - it was 4:14, not 3:14, but yes, I was getting ready to go run. I wanted to allow 3 1/2 hours to get my planned 18-mile LR in (allowing a little extra time for potty/hydration stops or MP3 adjustments), and on Sundays that means getting out there by 4:30 so I can get it done before church.

Denise - surgery??? Did I miss something? I hope it's nothing serious (although any surgery is serious stuff). Good luck! Holly, you continue to amaze me. Off for a good stretch with an injury, still log over 2,000 miles for the year, and now you're doing 18-20 mile runs. I want to be like you! Food-wise, this was a good weekend - until last night. I made this awesome dessert with yellow cake mix and lemon pudding. Served it warm with a dusting of powdered sugar and a dollop of cool whip. It was so good. But, I wrapped it up and took it to work this morning so no one at my house will be tempted to eat it. Now, if I can just stay away from the lounge for the rest of the day...
