Day 235 - Thursday
That’s our rental car! =D When I went to Avis to pick up our rental - which was supposed to be a mid-sized car, the guy said, “Ohhh, I’m so sorry but we are all out of mid-sized cars so I’m going to have to upgrade you - at the same price - and give you a convertible.” Awwww, gee, well I suppose if you HAVE to. Ha!! And did I mention that the weather has been absolutely magnificent? Today the sun was shining and there was a light breeze and the temperature hovered around the mid-70’s all day.
Perfect, perfect weather for cruising down the highway in a convertible!
Anyway, thanks y’all for your comments (and for missing me!) and yes I’m fine, haven’t been feeling sick at ALL, thank God, just been really busy on the road and off. We left on Tuesday afternoon, drove to Jacksonville and got to our hotel around 9pm. Then we had to get up at 6:30 to be at the event by 8:00. I presented one workshop by myself at 8:45 and then co-presented with my two colleagues at 10:30. Both workshops went great and people got much-needed information and that’s what it’s all about after all!
After the Jax event was over, I went out to dinner (with my two colleagues) to Carrabba’s!!! OMG I love that restaurant! I have now officially decided that Carrabba’s is my favorite restaurant in the whole wide world! (LOL I say that every time I have a great meal ha!) I had salad (minus the croutons), steak marsala (minus the mushrooms), and italian-seasoned green beans (plus some alfredo sauce). What a delectible, decadent, and extremely low-carb meal! I stayed totally on plan and it ROCKED! =D
No, I did not take a picture of my food. LOL! But someone else obviously did because I GIS’d “Carrabba’s Steak Marsala” and got this picture! Just mentally remove those nasty mushrooms (and that glob of what I assume is potatoes) and mmmmm that’s what I ate.
I really shouldn’t still be this consumed and obsessed by the food I eat.
I shouldn’t.
But damn it was good, and I can’t help but celebrate the fact that it was ALLOWED. =D

NICE car! I love when that happens. It happens alot, in fact I EXPECT it to happen. I have a fullsize reserved and we usually get a luxury. I’ll also accept an SUV or mini van… one more week ’til I go. I’ll be so glad to get away from the daily stresses of this homelife. But then after a week, it’s good to get home and sleep in your own bed again.
I think it’s actually healthy to love and adore and enjoy your food. We just have to be careful what we choose and/or how often.
WOW! Now that is one nice car! That is the kind of car I want AKAG- after kids are grown! LOL
Sounds like that meal was divine. My mouth is watering. Yummo!
Good to see you back and blogging! We missed ya!
Have a wonderful weekend!

PS
70’s???!!!!!
I am sooooo green with envy!
hey. you’re doing so well. I am proud of you. Am back and hopefully here to stay. tc and keep it up. you’re an inspiration!
Nice seeing you again! I think we ALL are obsessed with food- I count and count and check again and make my daily meal plan and refuse to eat things I don’t know the calorie count of- my husband thinks I’m crazy lol.
Hey chick. I second Carrabba’s! Their Spiedino de Mare is my absolute favoroite dish, with the Chicken Bryan a close second. Anything that has goat cheese is awesome in my book.
Looks like you’re having a fabulous time in your convertible. Fancy, fancy. I’m jelly.
