BBQ Buffet = #futurehappywife

There are only a few items that the fiance and I don't agree on. The #1 being, buffets. I hate them (exception weddings- love those!). They disgust me. The food looks nasty. The people there usually look nasty. And I feel nasty afterwards. Now, I am not trying to be an ass about this. It is a fine way to make a earnest living, I just think they are disgusting and a gut buster.

So as we made our way up to the interstate, it was nearing dinner time. I saw a BBQ Buffet sign and I decided to concede to about two years of pestering. I mean, come on... we were on our way to the engagement party, I guess I have to be nice. So we pull into some BFE town, walk Hunter, and slide into our seats. After careful inspection of the buffet, he picks up his plate and dives in. I, on the other hand, decide to order the roasted chicken off the menu (portion control, people!). Thank God, I did.

Two heaping plates and one dessert later... you would have thought he had just sprinted a marathon. It wasn't pretty folks. Green face and all. But at least he felt better and I bet I won't have to see a buffet for a long time. #happyfuturewife

On a running note, since this is a running blog and all. My 10 mile run went splendid!! Much better than that 9 mile piece of crap last weekend. This is my first time in double digits since I threw my princess crown on the ground January 2009 at the Disney Marathon and DNFd at mile 15-ish. It feels great to be back in the game.

Ok, time to relax, go shop, and get purdy for our engagement party   ball & chain assembly party. I kid, I kid.

  1. Ok, this is the same arguement Chris and I used to have and I think I have dug my heels in so hard that he finally quit asking. Hang in there girl, so battles are worth winning... WARNING: Horrid story coming next: He loves Golden Corral (blah, disgusting), so I gave in one day many years ago. I was facing the trough of food, eating my little salad (all I can really stomach from that place) and see an unattended youngster nearing the spagetti noodles. Much to my horror, the kid stuck his nasty, grubby hands deep into the noodles and grabbed him some. If I had not seen this little "want to make me gouge my eyes out" sight, I swear everyone who dined on noodles that night would be eating this kid's nasty little germs. I of course grabbed a manager, but who knows what happens at those horrible troughs of food when no one is paying attention....Never been back to a buffett line since.
