Eating Out = Better than cooking

If you know me at all you know that I LOVE to cook. I have literally only cooked maybe 4 times since we moved over 3 weeks ago. My cousin Molly mentioned that she saw I had been writing a lot of reviews on Yelp and I realized yikes…we’ve been eating out a lot! I counted…We have lived in this house for 2 weeks as of tomorrow and have eaten out 13 times. That’s once a day except for that one day that I made breakfast, lunch and dinner. I don’t even want to add up my receipts to see the monetary damage we have done. There's also the physical damage to consider – gained about 2 pounds at this point. Is it horrible that I think 2 pounds is good considering the BBQ, burgers, tacos and beer that we have been consuming? I am proud though – I have gone to Weight Watchers two times since moving back and faced the scale. I figure as long as I keep seeing my weight go up I can’t deny it? hahahah…Hopefully this method works when we get back from Virginia and I get off my butt and back on track. I did go jogging this morning…that’s got to count for something…

Tomorrow is my big family Christmas party that happens every year. I’m excited to see everyone and showing Max off to family is always fun...lol. After the party we are having official Christmas gift exchange at my mom’s house in Poteet. The next morning we wake up and drive to San Antonio for official gift exchange at my dad’s in San Antonio. Then (SIGH) we drive back to Austin and Monday morning we leave for Virginia for 2 weeks. I’m DEVASTATED because Clementine has to stay with my dad while we are away. The puppy plane ticket was going to be $300…WTF airlines? The dog rides in a container under a freaking seat where my FEET are supposed to go…how can you charge that much? It’s ridiculous when you think about it…my plane ticket pays for my feet to reside in that area but I have to pay more to not put my feet there? Ugh.

Anyway…signing off for now. Hope everyone has a great weekend and gets their Xmas shopping done!
