A salad from Sunday should not have been big enough to feed me 3 lunches, right?

Sunday night we were running errands out here in TOTAL suburbia (yes, we are now those people we used to make fun of who would go to Target, then Walmart, then BBB, and back to Target because you found it somewhere cheaper at the other place). We are those types! Seriously, within a 4 mile radius there is every possible food, shopping, service, medical, or other consumerism possible. It's like capitalism puked all over our neighborhood.

Now, I have to confess that before we moved here, we only knew 1 thing. Where hubs was going to be in school. You move where you know... and we thought it would be convenient to have all of these places close by. And it is... but it's like too convenient!

On Sunday, we were running those errands that we probably did not need to be running and we realized it was about dinner time. So, what to do? Certainly not head home and MAKE something?! I am 32 and it's my birthday weekend and I had been thinking about cheesecake.

Well, where does one get cheesecake but the factory itself, right? But who can go there, eat dinner and then still eat cheesecake. NOT US!

Thinking about portions and those 8 sizes I've mentioned a couple times, we decide to get salads. Of course, once they came we knew we should have only ordered ONE and shared it. I had left overs and though, yay salad on Tuesday at work. Just throw in a couple more pieces of chicken (since LG ate most of it from mine) and we are good to go!

So, today is Thursday. I have had the same salad the past 3 DAYS!!! This one salad - the "lean" Asian chicken one - has provided me with 4 meals! Who are we kidding? Is it really a lean salad when it comes in something like a serving platter?

Well, I will close with the lovely thought of the chocolate fudge, raspberry truffle slice of cheesecake I have also been nibbling at all week. It too has come to an end today. Sadness. I feel as though my birthday is over.

Oh, but not really, because now I am in search of the replacement yellow shoe that did not fit. Alas, there was no next size up or even two sizes up. And, the new pair I found were SOLD out of my online Nord's "shopping bag"!!! So, back to the internet in search of the fun 32 year old yellow shoes... of course they have to be at least 3.5 inch heals.

Did you try piperlime.com or zappos?

Sadly, I have tried both places and although Zappos had the fabbo shoes hubs got me, alas not in my size in yellow... And Piperlime was slim pickins' on the yellow shoes too. The hunt continues! I fear the calendar is winning this little battle... yellow seemed to have been very popular in summer and we are now entering fall (although in the Valley today it was 108)!
