Don’t forget to enter my Zevia giveaway!

Today was quite a day.  We had a great time with my in-laws, I’m so glad our families all get along!  They came over to see the house and brought me a gift that shows just how much they know me –

awww 🙂

Before we left the house I actually grabbed a 2nd Zevia for the road.

‘Twas good.  Not as good as my awesome new hoodie though, nice and warm!

We took them to school (my m-i-l’s best friend was with us too) to see Adam’s campus and the husband and his dad played ping pong for awhile – I’m married to a dork!  Our friend Benji came by for a while too so there were quite a lot of balls flying around!

Afterwards we drove to the mall for dinner and a movie.  The wait for a table was 60minutes so Adam and I went upstairs to get ice-cream (life’s short eat dessert first, he says).  I have been craving a pumpkin pie blizzard since I saw it advertised last time I was at the mall.  I actually was in line to get one and then the woman in front of me ordered exactly what I planned to order (small, pumpkin pie blizzard, no whip cream).  As I watched them make it I had two thoughts – 1) that’s not that small, and 2) that’s not that exciting.  I am all for indulging and having fun with food, but it’s only fun if you indulge when it’s really worth it.  Like the dinner I then ate 🙂

My m-i-l ordered an appetizer platter for the table that was quite tasty.  I ate the small plates shown, but multiply the bread times two and add a few bites from Adam’s plate.

For dinner I got the Spicy Cashew Chicken.

This is basically the only thing I ever order at Cheesecake Factory.  It isn’t the healthiest but we don’t go all the time and I love it.  I ate half and then boxed the other half for lunch tomorrow.

It was starting to rain pretty hard at this point (6pm) so our visitors actually decided to hit the road.  They sweetly gave Adam and I movie $ before they headed out so we stayed at the mall and watched “Law Abiding Citizen.”  The movie had good moments but I thought it was pretty sad.

Now my plan is to curl up with some magazines and hopefully fall asleep before 11.  Keep your fingers crossed for me that I sleep through the night!

What was the last thing you decided wasn’t worth it?
