The Goodwins

The Goodwins
The story begins....

That was not on the Weight Watchers plan, dear.

So Sarah and I have been doing WW together, and so far it's been a great success for us both. As of yesterday morning we were both down 10 lbs!! Yay to the Goodwins, right? Keep on the right track, right? WRONG!!! Let me tell you how we both celebrated this occassion.

Sarah had a girls night, that included Jennifer and some other girls. They had a great time, so I am told. It was girl's night...I wasn't there. They went to Henry's, a Cajun style restaurant in downtown Acworth. Sarah got shrimp and grits, and something that was apparently called Seafood Ooo-La-la. Doesn't it sound so healthy???

I went with my buddy Adam to Old South BBQ in Smyrna. Adam grew up eating at this place, and wanted to go badly. Naturally, he decided to ask his dieting buddy of 15 years to go with! How nice, huh? I had the pork plate, which was pulled pork in all its deliciousness, with fries and brunswick stew. Oh, and don't forget the garlic toast and the sweet tea!! Yum.Mo.

Now ask yourself, did they stop there? Why no!! Sarah was so thoughtful and kind, that she brought home bread pudding that we could eat together.....at 10:30 at night. But boy was it all kinds of good!

So the moral of the story.....we didn't weigh ourselves this morning, b/c we may well have gained the loss back in one fell swoop. But man was it fun!!

Rambling.....sometimes incoherently

And no, I haven't been drinking. It's 2:17 in the afternoon people, on a Thursday!

I'm sitting at work here right now, in the exciting land of carpet. But what is interesting to me is that right now in my office there are the following nationalities:

Two Dutchmen
One German
One New Zealander (who is talking to a Pakistani on the phone)
One Alabamanian

Do any of you remember that song on whatever kids show..."one of these things is not like the other..." Yeah, that's me right now. Good grief.
