Vacation is such a great excuse

I guess for some reason it seems OK to eat very poorly when your away from home. I just didn't make any special effort to eat well last week. I had a good amount of pie, seconds on granola cereal, tons of chocolate-covered Quaker granola bars, and some fast food here and there.

I think the Thanksgiving end date also had me feeling that I have enough time to 'repent' later.

I'm back on track as of today, but still over by a couple hundred calories. At least I'm trying.

Had a good time in Bham. Life is good there. I totally approve of Amy's new neighborhood and house - seems like the perfect situation and a real step up from the last place. The kids had a lot of fun hanging with Grandma and the cousins.

Highlights of the trip for me:

-Peaceful drives in wooded surroundings

-Burlington - Sehome Football game (just cuz it was a uniquely local thing to do and different)

-Stanley Park (sorry, it was just us on that trip)

-3-meat burger at Concrete area outdoor restaurant

Lowlights:

-Jaxon/Javen car fighting incident

-Emily and I both sleeping on the Reid Couch (our choice, Amy offered an air mattress that I was too lazy to inflate)

Thanks mom for letting us use your car so much!
