Kathe - that was sort of the reason we decided to dine "naked" this past trip and not get the dining plan. In the past we overate because we had "paid for it."
Financially it came out just about the same this time around, and we loved the feeling of flexibility, and being able to change our plans at the last minute.
I came out about even financially too. It was nice to try more places at dinner than I am used to. I usually go for late lunches to save money. I do love desserts but...I don't usually order more than a couple during a week. With the dining plan there were two desserts each day! Out of those two a day, only a few were really worth the calories. A couple of days I chose desserts that I could keep for breakfast in my room (cinnamon rolls,etc) because I was too full to eat them after dinner. Problem is, I don't usually eat that kind of breakfast so I started those days off feeling way too full! Most of my snack credits I used for water because I just couldn't eat any more. Since I always buy the water anyway, it was a savings. I didn't like that I felt I had to try to use up all of my credits, instead of just choosing what I really felt like at the time. And I really missed not going to Jiko, as I didn't feel it was worth two credits. I am glad that I tried it (except for when I get on the scales

Totally nice suprise for us tonight...
I was reading the CB and came accross someone that was giving away their tickets tonight for Jimmy Buffett, playing in Concord (about an hour away)
I sent her a pm and now I have the tickets
We're going to MargaritaVille tonight. (I figure it's in honor of V cruising without us
Such a cool thing. I've always wanted to see him, but no way could afford tickets right now, so I'm just jazzed this fell into our laps
Gonna get some sandwiches together for a picnic lunch and pick out some concert garb and be on our way....next time you'll see us we'll be in Paradise....Cheeseburger Paradise.....later....![]()




I had a bad fall on Sunday on the way to a High School Play in the High School Parking lot. My HS dauhter did not know whether to run and hid from me for to help me.
I knoked my self out and I broke two fingers on my right hand. Went to the emergency care center. Then yesterday I started throwing up very badly. Went back to the dotor, but they do not think it had anythingg to do with the fall.....just the flu on top of falling.
I still feel pretty bad...YUCK
Yikes
