Yesterday a bunch of us went to Five Guys Hamburgers in Hauppauge. I've only heard great things about this joint! Hey even Obama & Biden go there weekly for lunch. You walk in and the walls are stacked shoulder high with bags upon bags of potatoes. There is also a sign on the wall that tells you where today's potatoes are from. Yesterday the Potatoes came from Rigby, Idaho. Just in case we were wondering. I had the Cheeseburger with a large drink & Anthony & I split a large fry. My Friend Janeese had a cheese hot dog, they split the dog in half and layer it with cheese, now even I would eat that!
Now, when you go up an order, it's almost like ordering a drink from Starbucks. The burger comes with nothing on it whatsoever. Just meat, cheese, & the bun. BUT you have a multitude of toppings you can add. I added: Mayo, ketchup, onions, lettuce, tomato,& relish. The other topping choices are sauteed onions, mushroom, jalapeno peppers, BBQ or hot sauce. So the taste possibilities are endless! Next time I will get the "Little Cheeseburger" I had no idea the regular Burger is a double patty. That's just way too much burger for me. After I finished my meal I felt like I had a food baby inside my tummy. But it was soooo worth it!!!
I tracked the stats on Weight Watchers, and the burger came to 24 points, and the 1/2 large fry was 14 points!!!!!!!!
This is definitely a "special occasion" or once a month type thing. But this was soooooooo good! I want to go back already, but I must restrain myself!

Yes I said it! I need a vacation. I'm so tired of sitting at home day in and day out with no real person to person, face to face contact. This is really starting to take a toll on me. I'm usually bright, bubbly, and happy. But now I'm just Meh. Meh pretty much sums up my days now.
I feel so guilty for wanting to go away when I know we really shouldn't be going. My question is...what's going to "cost more" in the long run?
I'm not talking 2nd honeymoon vacation here. Just a quick 4-5 day getaway to a beach where the only dilemma for the day is food & drink. Is that asking too much? I don't think so.
So tomorrow is a landmark day for me in my new status as a wife, and temporary homemaker. I'm delving into a tradition that's been a part of every married woman's life for over 50 years...
What is it I'm going to you say; well I'm going to my first Tupperware party!
Truth be told, I'm very excited. I don't know if I'm more excited to meet women that I've been interacting with for over 2 years, or if it's scoring copious amounts of plastic container goodness! I have no idea how much money I'm going to spend, but I think I'm going to cap myself at $50.00 for now. We'll see how I feel "in the moment" Being so out of the Suzie homemaker loop, I have no idea what these babies go for. I must get acquainted.
I will update Friday morning with my recap of my first Tupperware party!!
Well it's a beautiful sunny day today. The landscapers just finished mowing the grass in the courtyard, my coffee mug is 3/4 of the way full...life is good. But it could be better. Does it always need to be?
Probably...
The majority of my day is comprised of sitting here at this computer looking for a job, and networking. I would love to go out shopping, but you need money for that. I could go for a walk, but I'm too lazy. I want to go on a vacation, but there's that money factor again. When I was working I really wanted time off, didn't ever want to work again. HA! Now I see what a cruel hand karma has dealt me. This is TORTURE! Yeah, yeah, everything happens for a reason. Was I in a dead end job? Yes. Was the management there a little askew and biased? Most definitely. Was it all for the best? That remains to be seen.
I'm going to try and use this blog as an outlet for my feelings, as I seem to bottle them up until I'm almost at a breaking point. I'm my mother's daughter in that regard.
Benjamin Robert was born on May 7th 2009. He weighed 7lbs 5oz and was 19 inches long. To say he's perfect is an understatement. His parents are our close friends Amy & Justin. I couldn't be happier for them!!!
Mazel Tov!
Well this is my first foray into the blogosphere! I'm unemployed at the moment and I think this will be a good outlet for me.
My day is filled with job hunting, Facebook posts, and chatting with new found friends on LIW!
I will try and keep this up, at least for the summer :)
