    No More…Yes More

    Well if I eat anymore I’m going to explode! After that little yet satisfying breakfast at Ihop which I mentioned in my previous blog, lunch time came around. I had received a phone call to meet the gang at Chili’s for lunch at 1:30 so I don’t need to tell you where I was at that time. This is a great place for lunch but again way to much food. I was still not suffering from hunger so I ordered a salad. They have this boneless buffalo chicken salad that is simply awesome! Huge and satisfying and just too good to stop eating. After a few beers and the salad you could stick a fork in me because I was done. It was suppose to be Mexican night for dinner but thank goodness that was called off. No one was hungry enough at dinner time to go out for a big meal so it was decided to postpone that until Sunday evening. We did however all get together for a few drinks at the hotel and later ordered in a pizza to snack on and before anyone knew it, it was time to go to bed.

    It was off to bed for all of us after deciding it was Minnesota or bust on Sunday morning. Not only is there no tax on clothing, but the stores are open at 8am on Sunday so you don’t have to wait until noon to shop. That’s one of the nice things about the Fargo area. In Grand Forks you have no choice but to wait and that just cuts your weekend short. I’m just going to be there with everyone else and have no plans to buy anything but you know how that goes sometimes. I did some shopping at one of my favorite clothing stores here in Fargo even though I have to pay tax. It’s a quality in clothing I was really after, the kind  you can’t get at the K Mart, Wal Mart type stores even though they have some good stuff. I picked up 6 nice shirts and found just the leather jacket I was looking for and even the brand I wanted. That took care of my shopping for the day and almost the entire trip. You are allowed $450 duty free I believe after a 48 hour stay and I just about did that for those few items, but I’m happy with my purchase.

    So I guess I’ll slip on down to Ihop again this morning while the rest of the group is sleeping for another nice light breakfast and then I won’t eat until we have our Mexican Thanksgiving dinner this evening.

    Maybe after a few hours of browsing through stores I’ll just come back to the room and lay around and relax for the afternoon like I did yesterday. It’s good to just not do anything sometimes. Watch some TV, play on the computer and maybe snooze a bit and dream of tacos and margaritas later this evening.

    No snow down here yet but it was a cold windy day. Actually reached a high of 33 degrees. With the nice stiff wind that was blowing…BRRRRRRR!

    Hey, you! I see the food is still marching on, lol. Today I could use some of that -- appetite and tastebuds are making a reappearance, yayyyyyyyyy (I think). At least I didn't miss your birthday even if I wasn't online, tg -- I'd never forgive myself.
    Guess you can tell I'm trying to get half a blog walk in today, then a little more tomorrow. Shoot, look at this: barely typed a thing and my stomach is growling. You are SUCH a bad influence, lol. Ok, I'll be talking to you soon, count on it. Hugs

    I love reading about your adventures south of the border. Gives me ideas for the next time that we head south. The snow keeps on showing up - hold on to your steering wheel - I think it's here to say. Pppphhhhttoooey.
    I actually wore my winter boots on Sat. and bought a pair of leather gloves at Costco. I'm prepared for a long, cold winter. My motto is fear the worst and anything better is gravy.
