How Did I Get Here?

Quote of the Day: ” Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.”

I awoke this morning with such a feeling of well-being. Not only was it Saturday but I finally realized I own Dellzilla. And I successfully completed 36 miles yesterday and I could actually walk today.

And it was food day.

I got the wife up with a promise of going out to breakfast. Before I was done with the suggestion, she went from being dead asleep to throwing the covers off her and was applying eyeliner with her mouth open.

She likes going out to breakfast.

The only damper in the morning was that my little girl was spending the night at a friend’s house and no matter the circumstances, I miss my little girl when she is away. But I still had the boy and we decided that we should hit the I-SLOP.

This probably requires some explanation.

One of my quirks is that I rename all restaurants to the entertainment of my family. More often than not, it’s crude and demeaning to the restaurant. See if you can pick them out:

Crapdonalds
Burger Vomit
Taco Hell (or Taco Butt)
Wind-Between-My-Legs
KrapFC
Dairy Bitch
Shit Fillet

And my coup-de-graise: Crack Whore Barrel

Anyway, we went to I-SLOP and to my great surprise, we had great service. It was pretty busy but the waiter was on top of things and I didn’t know how to take it. Not only was the service great, but the portions were mammoth. I couldn’t even finish the hashbrowns because they were sheer acreage on my huge plate.

This is a lot different than my experience years ago.

After breakfast, we wandered over to Costco. I needed to do some walking and what better way than to meander around Costco? The only thing I bought was a 14-outlet surge protector for Dellzilla and I was totally geeked out about it.

For lunch, I had super-nachos, courtesy of my lovely wife. We watched Cast Away with the kids and there was just something wrong with stuffing our faces with nachos as we saw Tom Hanks shed 80 lbs in front of our eyes.

For the rest of the day, I finished tweaking Dellzilla and rested up. I was stiff but not sore which is the greatest feeling after a monster run.

Dinner saw pizza from a new place and it was good.

This is the kind of day you look back on and say “Now THAT’S how to spend a Sunday.”
