Raining!!!

Happy Monday! Its raining here! We had an extremely dry summer so any moisture is happily welcomed. So I am sitting in the office today, waiting on quitting time.

So I haven't blogged in a week now so this will be an update blog. Sorry if its long and boring.

Nov 1- fairly normal day. work then home to get ready to head to Wichita in the morning for our flight to Daytona Beach, FL.

Nov 2 - Early morning drive to the airport and got on a flight to connect in ATL to end up in Daytona Beach. Got there about 2 pm and went to look at the truck M was considering buying (the reason we went). We wasted the afternoon looking at/driving the truck and hadn't made a decision. So we went and got a rental (pictured below) and went and found a hotel on the beach and hung out for the evening.

This is M on the beach in front of our hotel. He was on his phone A LOT! Trying to make a big decision from 1400 miles away from home is pretty stressful. However I just hung out and played in the water.

Nov 3 - We went to the beach in the morning (pics above) and went and ate lunch at a loval BBQ place. Then we went back to decision making mode. Finally we decided that the truck was a good buy and started going through the motions (that were a lot more difficult that originally planned) to buy the truck and drive it home. After a long afternoon of working out details, we still hadn't bought a truck so we got another room for the night and went back to the beach for a while.

Nov 4 - Finally got all the details worked out on the truck and left Daytona Beach early in the afternoon. We drove and drove and drove until we finally made it to the Alabama border. Then we took a nap.

Nov 5 - Another full day of driving (crossed Alabama, Mississippi, then up through Louisiana) with a 2 hour delay in Terrell, TX before ending up in Joshua TX for the night. We spent the night at my sisters house after nice meal at yummy On The Border.

Nov 6 - Got up to drive home early so we could avoid crazy Texas Motor Speedway race traffic. Made it home about 4 PM. So glad to be home! Since you have been waiting so patiently, heres a picture of our ride home.

Now its going to get really boring. More for my own memory than for you entertainment, I am going to try and list what I ate over the trip. :)

Wednesday - bagel w/cream cheese. peanuts. sprite. 8 oz steak. 1/2 order of mashed potatos. 2 whiskey and 7-ups. pina colada cheese cake. 1/2 beer.

Thursday - 2 cookies. 1 beer. Pulled pork. BBQ chicken (part cause didnt taste good). fried okra with ranch. french fries. spicey chicken wrap. french fries. 1 beer.

Friday - 1 m&m cookie. baby back ribs. garlic bread (2). french fries. cole slaw. Almond joy. mountain dew. cheddar sunchips. 1/2 pepsi.

Saturday - 3/4 mini pepperoni pizza from subway. mexican wedding cake cookies (3). sunchips. pepsi. chips and cheese dip.  enchiladas suizas. mexican rice. strawberry margarita.

Sunday - donut. mountain dew. chicken strips (3). sunchips. potato wedge (1). Eggs (2). Toast (2). Peanuts and candy corn mix.

So the moral of the story is... we ate a lot but at the same time not very much.. and portions were normally small. No wonder M stays thin, he doesnt think about stopping for lunch or dinner... just drives and drives.

Well now that you are officially bored out of your mind, I think I will wrap this up!
