While going briefly through the drive through yesterday for lunch (and with my new student programmer in tow), the lady took my money and said “Wow,haven’t seen you in a while!” (which caused an embarrassed look on my face and a laugh by my student). I have mixed feelings about this. 1) I had not been there in several weeks since I’ve been out of town. 2) Does it mean that I had been there that often before I left or am I just that memorable? (Do I have an addiction to Southern Style Chicken sandwiches since there is no Chik-fi-lay in town?)
Prea would always laugh and sigh as she said I was the one major outlier for her research that showed the more educated one was, the less likely they were to eat fast food. If I had good company and less work, I’m sure I would be better about such things, even bring my own lunch, but I’m far from that for now. *sigh*

These 3 weeks of conferences had food accessible to me all the time. I feel like I’ve gained weight and so now am a bit more self-conscious of what I’m eating (likely a good thing). Starting on Monday, DDR every day!

Now to get rid of these 5 pounds of leftover Halloween candy... maybe I can slip them into Troy & Merinda’s silverware drawer like they so discretely did to mine... Nice to write a more random blog entry! (and it’s cold and windy)
