Where I've Been, Where I'm Going, What I Ate and What I've Learned

Did you know you can make a rat using Benderoos?



I've had a busy few weeks. I was away without internet access, I've been busy at work. Snooki and JWOWW typed an anonymous letter. Teresa nearly ripped Danielle's head clear off her body. Peyton and Jesse B had a bad date. I'm adjusting to reaching an age that gives me AARP benefits.

Kidding. Kinda. :)

I went to Laporte, PA with Dave, the kids, his sister and her son (his nephew). Despite Dave almost falling in a fire pit and nearly tipping a canoe it was a good time.



Riding the bus for 5 hours? Not a good time. Though it might beat out riding in the back seat of a station wagon for 3 hours.

Just saying. :)

I ate at Quaker Steak and Lube in Bloomsburg, PA.



Boneless wings and broccoli instead of fries. Go me.



Dave made sausage and peppers.



I bought pickles from a farm stand.



Dave made omlettes and hash browns.



And chicken quesadillas.



Dave's sister Laura made delicious stuffed pepper appetizers with goat cheese ricotta and taramasalata.




Our final dinner was delicious. Chicken, roasted tomatoes, green beans and roasted potatoes.






and wine.



Lest you think I let Dave do all the cooking please note 2 out of those 4 dishes were prepared by moi.

My plate.



We went out for breakfast before heading home.





I had a breakfast sandwich. Dave had a meal that included pig scraps mashed together.



And he thinks I have weird food issues.

There is more good food to share - but I'm running out of steam. I'm heading out for a mani/pedi in 15 minutes.

I am going here tonight.



To see her...




...and him I believe.



I'll go out to LI tonight with my mom and Jen, then back to NYC tomorrow for my official birthday dinner with Dave. A fancy schmancy hamburger is calling my name. It's back to LI on Friday to spend the day with my mom.

This all is my last bit of recklessness before I get my ass in major gear. I have an event here and there but it's back to basics for me. I have an appointment to see M on 10/6 and I'm determined to be at least 5 lbs lighter by then.

But that won't happen tonight.

Let the birthday (week) begin!!!
