Our Mexican Food Adventure

Well hello! It's Leslie and Dustin writing to you this evening together!

We thought we would share what happened to us today. First off, we should start by letting you know that usually Dustin has a lunch meeting every Wednesday (of course this falls on the day that Leslie has off). So today, when Dustin found out he didn't have a lunch meeting, we thought it would be fun to go to lunch together. Since we're trying to be economical, we decided on the local Mexican joint. They have great food and great lunch deals.

The trouble began when we waited to go to lunch until we were absolutely starving. It was like 2:00, and we had been cleaning and running errands all morning (working up an appetite). Dustin and I both had the lunch special - it included one chicken enchilada, rice and beans. We each had water and we killed two baskets of chips and salsa. We each ate everything on our plates (and scraped up the scraps with chips). Then, we thought it would be a good idea to splurge and get friend ice cream. We ate the ice cream until we literally thought we were going to get sick. At one point Dustin looked down at the last two bites of ice cream and said, "Man, I really want to eat that, but I can't." Now, if Dustin is turning down ice cream, something is terribly wrong. Dustin's belly looked like the second trimester of a man-pregnancy. Now we know how the poor birds feel after eating rice thrown at a wedding... It just keeps expanding.

After paying our small $13 bill, we both waddled out to the car. We moaned and rubbed our bellies the whole way home. After barely being able to climb the stairs, we crashed on our bed and just let the gross feeling of being way too full wash over us. THREE HOURS LATER, we woke up and realized it was just past 6:00pm. Holy moly! We cannot believe that we let ourselves sleep that long (or eat that much).

Needless to say, it's 11:30pm and we're blogging because we're not tired.
