Getting Double Stuffed

Woke up yesterday morning, and started my day out by tackling Mt. Laundry. I think I'll set up base camp somewhere near the sweaters. The snowcaps of my whites and underwear are visible with binoculars. While the first of many loads of darks was in the machine, I went for a short run (one of the first of the season...my legs hurt now). I then called someone and had the most wonderful conversation with one of the most interesting people. I actually was a little down that I had to end the call, but I had lunch plans with my friend David, and needed to hang up.

Lunch at the Cheescake Factory where I had Pad Thai and 1/2 of a Macadamia White Chocolate Cheescake. Most interesting part was when David got paged. He works in the legal system and a juvenile was arrested. Interesting to find out that in his district if you are arrested on Friday after hours, you wouldn't be arraigned until Monday afternoon. Nothing like spending the entire weekend in jail huh? Remind me not to get arrested in his district.

Now if you never have had a meal at the Cheescake Factory, imagine getting a meal that could feed a family of four on your plate. Then add bread. I left, with half of the meal in a box, as I waddled back to the car...I need to go to the gym now. Instead, I got home, climbed another 200' and set up a second base camp. Mt. Laundry will be conquered!

Dinner was with my friend Kerri at Theory restaurant. Sort of a steakhouse/gourmet restaurant. First course, a poached pear salad with pecans and blue cheese. Second course was an incredible ribeye steak with blue cheese flan and bacon hash. Now I am way stuffed, but still forced down a three scoops of grapefruit sorbet. Waddled back to the car and was ready for bed.

This morning: I suddenly have a craving for Captain Crunch Cereal, and I think I'm going to indulge. Could I be pregnant?
