1. Karri Christmas Present - So this marks the first year that there will be no major surprise between Karri and myself. She picked out her own gift this year. I am a little disappointed because I like to see the look on her face when I pick out something amazing that she really loves. I am also very glad because I hate the look on her face when I pick out something crappy. The real reason she got her own gift is because it was a pair of running shoes and a work-out outfit. Just to make sure everything fit and she liked the style, she picked it our herself. I will be getting a couple iTunes gift cards and some workout equipment.
2. The Vans Store - While looking for gifts for myself, I decided to go into the Vans store. I LOVE the look of all Vans clothing, shoes, and accessories. I wasn't going to buy any clothes yet, due to my not being down to my goal weight, but I thought that perhaps I could get myself a new pair of shoes. (Because I LOVE shoes). So we walked in and Karri said the look on my face was priceless. I walked from the front of the store to the back, then just turned around and walked out of the store. I was devastated. I pretty much just proved to myself that I am no longer cool. I can't get away with wearing anything in my favorite store anymore (unless I want to look like a 32 year old trying to act like a 20 year old again). I am not exactly sure when this transformation happened, but I am pretty sure kids were involved. It was, truly, a very sad experience for me.
3. Lunch - We ended up going (to my wifes chagrin) to a German brewery called Gordon Biersch. Karri was VERY upset that we didn't continue our 10 year tradition of eating at The Olive Garden because that is one of her favorite restaurants, but she took one for the team and went somewhere else. I, personally, was very excited to eat there because I have wanted to since we moved into the Erie area. Now that we are gone, I thought my chances were slim, but hooray for opportunity. I digress. So we met Jon and Stacy for lunch and had an absolutely wonderful time. The food was good, the beer was 100% German (following the German Purity Law of 1516) so it was amazing. I had a black beer that was as light as a pilsner. It was absolutely amazing. (Side note - the reason we didn't go to Olive Garden is because Stacy hates chain Italian restaurants. I found it entertaining that she ordered a Pizza with water for her lunch. Good thing we skipped the chain Italian place)
All in all, a wonderful trip and I am very excited to do it again next year.
Weight - 207.6 Up 0.4 lbs from yesterday. I could have been the Cajun Boil (I think the sausage is what got me) or the smothered chicken enchiladas for dinner, but I'm not worried about it. Still below my goal weight of 208 for the week, with a few days to go.
