Two updates in a week!

Try to contain your excitement at my SECOND post of the week.

My energy has picked up a bit since Monday, thank goodness. I bought new walking shoes, so that helped. I needed to buy a second pair for the walk. My Eccos are $130 shoes and I can't afford TWO of those, plus having two different pair is nice over the three days so the rub on your foot changes. I need this style, as traditional shoes don't work well for me on the 3 Day. I know I'll get blisters, and getting feet into tennis shoes when you have blisters SUCKS! So, I bought a pair of Teva Tirras:

It's like walking on gummy bears, to coin one reviewer's comments. :-) Did 3 miles in them last night and they were great.

Speaking of that walk, Chris has finally caved into walking with me. We had a nice walk through town. Less bugs in town and safer than out by us in the country. He said he'd like to walk at least twice a week. Yay! Company!

I was naughty and made chili dogs for dinner last night. I had hot dogs in the freezer, as I keep a pack around in the summer for last minute parties on the patio. It's good kid filler. Well, I hauled those out yesterday and had a container of leftover chili in the freezer, too. Just add cheap buns and a simple lettuce salad and dinner was done.

Tonight, a thawed package of smoked pulled pork I had vacuum sealed in the freezer. No muss, no fuss.

This means I actually have to cook something on Friday night. Or, make a frozen pizza. :-)
