Boy, was I naughty about the diet on Friday. I cheated BIG TIME and I had the worst acid indigestion ever!!! But remember, my goal is to have "more good days than bad". Started with an early lunch at Chipotle with my favorite girls, Lori and Jen. Unfortunately this place is terrible for a lo-carb diet. Or any diet for that matter, but Yumm!. Since we haven't taught together in a few years now, it has become a tradition to ren·dez·vous at Chipotle when we have conference prep day. Too bad they only happen twice a year because I love these work-days without students and meeting with my friends. Got all of my report cards done too, and it feels so good. Plus it was a gorgeous, sunny, 54 degree spring day :)
Later I went out to dinner with E...we were both craving chicken so we went to this place on the East Side that has the best fried chicken...lightly battered with the best seasonings! Ate 4 chicken wings...after dipping them all in ranch!
And if that wasn't enough, I went over to Heather's house late Friday night to play some poker and see her new house. She made tacos for all of us (could I ever turn down Mexican?)and this fabulous apple crumbly pie (with cool whip) that was so good I am still thinking about it. So good that I would cheat again and have a piece right now if I could. Heather's house is so stinkin cute and the way she decorated everything is just the coolest! Her basement is like the ultimate poker party spot...a huge fully stocked wet bar and an authentic 8-person poker table. She also has these cool mardi gras masks hanging from the chandelier to try on....so we tried on masks and played poker all night.....
Guess who won the game?
We didn't play for money or anything, just for fun. I stayed until 2am and was very tired when I left! As I was getting close to home a cop whipped a U-ie, accelerated on my ass and followed me about a mile and through 2 street turns....I was totally paranoid that he was going to randomly pull me over (even though I had nothing to feel guilty about) when he turned into the fire station parking lot, just a half mile away from my house. Jerk Cop, you freaked me out!
Don't you hate it when that happens?
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Plan to clean, scrap and catch up on blogs tomorrow!
You are so pretty!!!! I just think you are so photogenic and everytime I come to your page....I just think you are so cute and look like you enjoy your life!

Hey! I loved lunch too on Friday. I think that it has become our tradition and we should do our very best to try and keep it up. Infidels can come too! =)
Jump back on the diet wagon girl!! I'm driving with the reins!
