She’s Baaaack…
Well, I’ve returned in one piece, and carrying a few extra pounds. I can see why some Southerners are overweight- soul food is heavy and greasy, but delicious!! Lodyangel and Baileysmomma, Kentucky really is a beautiful place. I was surprised by Louisville, there didn’t seem to be many people in the city itself. But we enjoyed exploring Churchill Downs (Kentucky Derby racetrack) and 4th Street Live. I also had fried chicken for the first time- delish! Glad I don’t live anywhere that makes it that well!
As usual, I didn’t stay even close to South Beach on the trip, but school starts tomorrow, and I am back on phase one. I was a maniac getting my room ready today, and I’m still not totally set for tomorrow, but the kids wait for no one.
Over the next few days, I look forward to reading up on your posts that I’ve missed- hope y’all are doing well (you like that southern accent?) I’m a little nervous about going back to work and maintaining my progress on diet, gym, and water consumption. I haven’t quite figured out how to keep my big jug of water from getting piss warm during the day and therefore avoiding drinking it. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the birthday wishes! Overall, it was pretty good, although birthdays are never like what they were when you are a kid…sigh…to be young again. I had cake, but didn’t enjoy it as much as I had hoped (it wasn’t very good), but I made up for it in other areas of my eating!! We’ll see what year 27 will bring!
Sounds like you had a good weekend. We almost went to Louisville for the holiday weekend but decided to stay home and work around the house. But your positive review added to others we have heard we will definately keep it on the list of mustgos!
On the water front, I used to freeze half or 3/4 of a 1.5 liter bottle at night and then fill rest in the morning to keep it cold throughout the day. I had to wrap a paper towel around the bottle to keep it from sweating.
Happy belated birthday!
Sounds like you had fun.
Kentucky is a wonderful place for those that can embrace its uniqueness (is that a word) lol.
As for the water. Freeze it in small bottles and take it one of those mini coolers and stash it somewhere. Then just add a little water in them when your ready and viola.. ice water.
Welcome back….over the week-end I saw a SUV with Mass. plates and a BOSOX bumper sticker, did you come East on your trip to see if David came home for Labor Day?
I freeze a half bottle and just add water like the rest…
Welcome back! Hope school has been alright!
