Our wings are not tired.

Just imagine me as a little tiny Mariachi band that is playing for you every time you head to the elevator.

I'll have to add that to my workout mix. I did manage to do 40 minutes of laps and 30 minutes of PT stretching today. So yes! Snow crab for dinner tonight as DH is off to a track event and he isn't much on the shellfish, or as I like to call it, lemony butter delivery devices.

I am working to get back into my good habits but also am right now in an Escalade on my way to a ridiculously expensive dinner but that is also something of a Chicago bucket list item. To wit, a 20th anniversary throwback Alinea dinner where they are doing their year 1 menus when they burst on the scene and blew everyone’s minds.

I have justified the [seriously ridiculous] cost by using the gift card I got last year from my health insurance for jumping through all their various hoops, which very nearly covers it.

[What? I can have layers. At least the portions will be small.]

I’m also paying half my sister’s costs because be real. So it’s still a splurge but one I’m good with.

I also did just sign up for one of those dance workout apps. Did half a workout yesterday before my arms got too tired. But I think it’ll be fun!

That sounds awesome, Brenda. We want details on the menu! My crab legs were so tasty. The best/worst part was it took over 2 hours to eat them. So much work, but such leisurely delight!

I also did just sign up for one of those dance workout apps.

I generally have music in my ears while working out, so I tend to dance around between tasks. Like no one is watching, but there are indeed cameras in the gym, so someone could be watching. Do I care? The answer would be no. I am almost always the only one in the gym both in my building and the gym I go to up north. I'm not particularly self-conscious, but being alone or just with my sister is really nice.

I was being very judged by the dog. But I can live with that.

The dinner is 12 courses. Holy. A little over halfway and it is amazeballs. Pictures and descriptions to follow.

Woot, yay, Brenda! Can't wait for deets.
