Use The Tongs Man!

My flights on Monday went well and I arrived in one-piece. I had McDonald's in Dallas for lunch, because I was saving room for dinner at The Stone Fire Grill! I love that place! I had the 12oz tri- tip steak, caesar salad, and 2 breadsticks, and pretty much ate every single bit of it! I was starving! I called it a night and worked on my special project for about 4 hours and then crashed.

Tuesday morning, I was down at the breakfast buffet at the Hampton Inn. As I sat down at the table and began to eat my food, I found myself people watching. I noticed one man perusing the goods. I then saw him open the baked goods display and proceed to pick up 3 or 4 bagels right in a row and feel them, AND THEN PUT THEM BACK INTO THE BIN AFTER HIS DIRTY HANDS WERE ON THEM!

I was like, "Good Lord man, use the tongs to pick those up, and just pick one!"

Gross!

Tuesday night Dianna, Jeremy, and I found ourselves at the cheesecake factory for an early dinner. Unfortunately, I had gone out with the audit team for lunch to this fancy restaurant and (1) eaten a large meal and (2) pushed the limits of the budget, so all I had at dinner was a small Caesar salad and water. Don't be fooled though, the "small" salad was large! Dianna got some sort of chicken and shrimp Thai dish and gave me some. It was pretty good. Jeremy had the fried macaroni and cheese and it looked pretty good, but I didn't try any of it. After that I came back to the hotel, did some work, got in bed, watched Glenn Beck and passed out.

Today for lunch I chowed down on the Olive Garden's unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks... I had one bowl of soup, two bowls of salad, and 5 breadsticks! Yum! Tonight for dinner, I passed up The Outback Steakhouse and went to McDonald's for dinner, so my family can have more money from the Per Diem pay. Sacrifice. We must begin sacrificing to get out of debt! Our new motto for 2008!
