| Our mini vacation is almost over and it is making me kinda sad. I don't wanna drive back home tomorrow and then do the whole work thing.  Here's a summary of our trip.
Friday we both worked. When we got home we packed up and headed out. The drive was going pretty slow. We stopped in Terre Haute to get dinner. We went to a place that Jason had been to before and thought was pretty good. I had chicken strips and wasn't very impressed. And the bathrooms were DISGUSTING! I've been in better gas station bathrooms!
After dinner we headed back out on the road. I drank too much pop at dinner so we stopped at the first exit with a gas station. Again, the bathroom was GROSS. It was actually worse than the restaurant bathroom but ONLY because it was a unisex bathroom and there was a urinal. I have never seen so many pubes in one spot before. Men are yucky. That made the gas station restroom tied with the restaurant bathroom. The thing that made it worse was that there was no soap. Eww! Oh, and the toilet bowl was oval but the toilet seat was round!
I got some coffee and we were back on the road. I was afraid to touch anything because I felt so dirty. I secretly was trying to will Jason to stop at the next exit just so I could wash my hands!
The last half of the trip went pretty fast. We made it to St. Louis and it was time to find our hotel. We booked the hotel last weekend. Everything we were looking at was around $105/night. I hate playing that much money to stay in a hotel. We looked a little cheaper and found one that was $65. Jason left it up to me and I said to go ahead and do it. I figured if it was dirty we would just ask for another room. Well, as we were driving I started getting worried. I was wishing we had splurged and gotten a decent room. I was afraid that we were gonna be in a dump in the ghetto. Well, the hotel was in an area surrounded by probably empty buildings and a lot of construction equipment. It wasn't looking good. But when we walked in you could smell the new construction. That made me feel better. The room ended up okay and the staff was very friendly. WHEW!
We went to bed pretty soon after getting settled into our room. Saturday we both slept in pretty late. Yes, even Jason! We went to eat at a place Jason had found online. It was delicious. And they had bread pudding! I was so excited. But, I was so stuffed after eating our meal that I didn't have any room. I had pulled bbq pork. The meat and sauce was great and the bun tasted like a croissant. I also had onion rings and they had a breading that reminded us of our favorite restaurant in Lafayette. After lunch we went to the Anheuser-Busch Brewery. We went on a tour and then to the hospitality room where we got two free beers. We were going to hit up a winery afterwards but the closest one wasn't open so we just went back to the hotel.
We both ended up taking a nap and relaxing. We went to dinner at another place Jason found online and once again it was DELICIOUS. We had pizza and it had the absolute best cheese on it. Yum! Jason mentioned going back to the place we had lunch so I could get bread pudding. But again, we were so full after the pizza that neither of us even mentioned it when dinner was over. After dinner we went back to the hotel for some tv, relaxing and sleep.
Sunday morning we got up early and got ready for the game. We found a place to park and then went walking to find a place that served breakfast. We went to a bar/restaurant and had some bloody mary's and a good breakfast. Then we walked around to find an ATM. We found a Starbucks and I got a white mocha - it's been so long since I've had Starbucks...I'd forgotten how yummy it was. We ended up hanging out around the stadium while I drank my coffee and Jason had a beer. Then we headed in to our seats.
We were in the 2nd row next to the endzone. We were so close! The game was good and there were tons of Colt's fans...it was almost like playing a home game.
After the game we stopped at a bar and sat outside to have a couple drinks and watch people walk past. There was also free chili. How cool is that? We went to the car and there was no one collecting money as we left...so our parking was FREE! What luck!
We couldn't decide what we wanted to do so we just went back to the hotel. I watched TV and Jason fell asleep. Eventually I fell asleep as well. Jason woke me up and we went to another place he found online to eat. As we were nearing where the restaurant was suppose to be we weren't sure if it was even there anymore. I was secretly hoping it wasn't so we could go back to the bread pudding restaurant so I could finally get my dessert. But, the restaurant was there so we went. It was an oyster bar. I had red beans and rice. Jason had oysters and jambalaya. And guess what was on the menu? BREAD PUDDING! All was right in the world and I finally got my dessert! Yay!!!
Now we are back at the hotel. Tomorrow we will get up and go to the arch before heading home. It's been a great weekend.

| It seems like not may people post much anymore and that makes me sad. It also makes me less motivated to post. But, one of the people I've followed for a while seems to be back and that has motivated me to maybe try a little harder. I'm also trying to find new people to follow who actually post so I can continue reading and make some new xanga friends. If you have any suggestions, pass them along!
Not a lot going on around here. Just working and coming home. The most exciting news lately is that we went to Tennessee to the Colt's game on Sunday. Jason had been wanting to go for a couple weeks but since the game was at 8:20 pm and 4 & 1/2 hours away it didn't seem like a good idea when you add in the fact that I have to be at work at 7 am! A coworker ended up asking me to cover her 10-6 shift and I agreed because I don't mind helping out. So Sunday we were out to lunch at around 1:30 and Jason again mentioned going. The practical side of me kept saying that we should stay home because I needed to get groceries, do laundry, save money and not be exhausted the entire week from no sleep. But the impractical side of me thought it would be fun and exciting to take a last minute trip and be spontaneous. The impractical side won out. We went home to get coats and everything and left. We bought our tickets on our phones while we were driving (don't you love technology). We got there about an hour early and had plenty of time to grab a hotdog before the game. Our tickets were in the 8th row! So cool. When we buy tickets at home we are always in the very highest section. 8th row is amazing! The game was good. The drive home went fairly fast. We got home at 4:30 am and was in bed by 5 so I got about 4 hours of sleep. I was really tired today though so I took a nap. I should be caught up by now...as long as I can sleep tonight!
This weekend Jason has drill. Next weekend we are going to St Louis for a weekend getaway and the Colts game that Sunday. We will be there Friday to Monday. Any suggestions on what we should do other than seeing the arch? I've never been there before

| I told y'all I wouldn't do a very good job of posting once Jason got home!
I'm still doing well with my calorie watching. The first week of Jason being home I wasn't very good. I haven't lost any weight since he has returned but I have been doing awesome this week so maybe when I weight myself on Monday I will have good news. I've also managed to get back on the treadmill this week.
I probably won't put all my info in daily anymore since it takes too much time but I will give you the link to see what I ate, how many calories I ate and how many I burned (including deficit for the day). I was using a program on my iphone but my 3 month subscription expired so now I'm using www.livestrong.com because it is free and much more accurate when it comes to their database of foods. Once I figure out the link to give you I will post it.
Right now I need to take a shower so Jason and I can maybe have a date night. I work the this weekend and tomorrow I have to be there at 6 so that means it will have to be an early night. I better get moving!
