I guess Friday the 13th ended up getting the best of me after all! The best laid plans don’t always work out. That’s especially true if you and your husband are terrible at time management and plan to leave at a time that’s too late and then don’t even get out the door on time!
We did get our fun lunch though.
Lloyd’s Taco Truck is Buffalo’s first and only food truck, you know we had to check it out!
I ordered a chicken taco, which was pretty good.
I wish I had gone with beans instead of chicken for my protein, but whatever the white cheese was it was delicious, and the shredded cabbage was nice and crunchy.
We also ordered a churro with cinnamon sugar.
Yuck city. It was waaaaay too fried and we ended up throwing it away after a few bites. Lloyd’s wait-time wouldn’t have been worth it in another city, but if you are in Buffalo I’d still say give it a shot; just don’t order the churros!
The day didn’t really improve from there. The plan was supposed to be taco truck – post office – mall/seeing Bridesmaids- crossing training at the gym – party with some school people. We ended up running so behind that we had to see a different movie and moved the post office to the end of the day. Of course, we got to the post office just as the doors were closing in our faces! In the end we had to scrap the gym and the party too. And the movie we ended up seeing (that we should have skipped all together because it’s timing is what threw off everything else) was terrible. <– skip “Thor”
But I guess it wasn’t all bad. We did get a free small popcorn at the movies.
Do you belong to your theatre’s loyalty program? Adam and I have gotten so many free tickets and snack items over the years, we love it.
And since my evening was suddenly free, when Adam went to meet friends for a game of tennis I ended up going with him to take a long walk around Delaware Park. Walking isn’t the best use of cross-training time, but it’s better than nothing. I walked 3.5 miles around the park. It was fun to do the loops at a slower pace; the park has done lots of landscaping for Spring and it runs along one side of the zoo so there is a lot to see.
Blooms and buffalos definitely helped to put me in a better mood.
I ate an everything-style Bagel Thin with two slices of 2% colby cheese before we left,
and I drank half of this Arizona Virgin Pina Colada while we were out.
But I couldn’t get it together for dinner. We stayed up way too late on Thursday and I was pretty zonked out. <– It’s possible that when Adam and his friends switched courts at the last minute and he asked me to drive myself the last 2 blocks to the park I started to sob uncontrollably
When we got home from the park I curled up in a filthy little ball for a much-needed nap! Thank goodness Adam backed me into the shower with a chair before we went to bed.
The plan this morning was supposed to be breakfast then a trip to the Farmer’s Market. But the skies looked like rain so we hurried out without food. Too bad we still didn’t beat the clouds.
There wasn’t a lot at the market yet anyways 😦
I did grab a three-cheese and caramelized onion focaccia to split with the husband for breakfast.
We shared a grande iced America with skim milk from Starbucks so we could eat at one of their dry (and dark!) tables.
A few notes – I love going on mini-dates with my husband. Thank goodness it’s stopped raining now; I still need to get to the darn post office! I need more food!
So I’m off. Assume that I successfully made it to the post office and the grocery store, otherwise tonight’s post is going to be another cranky-pants one!

















Think about it Em – we’ve had food trucks on St. Thomas for ever!
