Day 78

Yesterday was such a great day!

I decided to have some friends over for dinner, and spent the day preparing for that night's gathering. Turns out this was the first time I was having a "dinner party," so there were a few things that the apartment was missing to make the night not a disaster.

So, I shopped all day, which was sort of glorious.

In the end, I ended up eating a bit more than I should have, but did my best to keep things under control.

I skipped breakfast (woke up late again), and got a salad from the supermarket for lunch. It wasn't that good though, because the dressings weren't properly marked, and, being color-blind, I couldn't figure out which one was which, so I think I chose the wrong dressing. Oh well.

Before dinner got going, I snacked on a few croutons and some parmesan cheese as I prepared the Caesar salad, then did my best to avoid that by popping pieces of the fruit salad. Once dinner was served, I had a small helping of salad, a medium-sized piece of filet, and a large scoop of potatoes (roasted in olive oil), and about six spears of asparagus. I followed that up with a piece of pie that was to die for. Frozen key lime pie. I'm not even going to try and calculate the millions of calories hidden within it's spring colors...

But even better than the food was the company. It was a great night all-around.

Ahhh... Smell the flowers... Okay, enough of that! Now, some facts:
