IT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL ABOUT THE FOOD - PART 2
Breakfast... which, by the way, is it possible for two people to be so in sync that they say the same thing at the same time?  What do you think? Anyway, it's nice to breakfast with friends b/c you can share each other's meals and never really have to choose between one of the biggest dilemmas in life - pancakes or waffles?

I think I ate about 7 of my frontier fries before I wanted to throw up so Other Joe ate the rest of them in the car but why did it take me so long to start adding mayo to a Philly instead of taking the lettuce and tomato off of the Coast to Coast.  Duh.

Some for the road...

...and ice cream to make the dog nuts... the dry ice drives her crazy.

IT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL ABOUT THE FOOD - PART 1
Road trips are our thing... and the snack bag is super important.  Chrissy had a giant bag packed for our overnight stay in State College but we still had to stop at the point of no return and go to Martin's - where I always get the meat and cheese cup to hold me over.

We ended up at the Deli for dinner because we were all too hangry to figure out somewhere else to go - it was a comfort food festival! I got one of my regulars... hot chicken sandwich, mashed potatoes and corn... and potato soup, of course.

We were all too full to have dessert. The waiter left his cheat shit with us when I got mad at him for not having chocolate cake (how can you not have any chocolate cake?)  and I couldn't resist taking a pic of the night's selections... the coconut cream PIG sounded interesting!

I ended up with the banana chip cake in a to go box to have for a midnight snack. Unfortunately, I forgot about it and left it in the hotel refrig. #reallyfuckingdisappointed.

I got distracted by all the things I brought with me "to do" in the projected 10 hours we would be in the room. Like organize the multitude of notebooks I have started...

... and the anticipation of drinking coffee and reading magazines in the hotel bed.

Unfortunately, I had the worst sleep ever because someone (who shall remain nameless and is not me) sleeps with the tv on and I kept waking up and writing item numbers down all night long.

more tomorrow...

THIS LITTLE PIGGY...
This little piggy container of treats was hard to resist. Video here.

SNOW HAPPENS
Was I the only one that was looking forward to the snow that never materialized?  I'm ready for spring but there is something delicious about a good snow storm. I'm the girl that goes to the store to buy all kinds of things to make in the hopes of not being able to leave the house for days.  I like the idea of being trapped inside and hunkering down to enjoy it all... blankets, hot chocolate and cuddling with the puppy dog.

LIFE IS A HIGHWAY
I really have no idea what to do about a car... There's nothing that I really, really like and I just don't feel like dealing with looking for a new one. I wish one would just magically appear in my parking space and I can be done with it. As much as I like driving big things I keep seeing these little baby ones like this and question if I should go that route. I just can't picture myself in something so teeny tiny.  I really would like this cute little thing. What's a girl to do?

SAY MY NAME... SAY MY NAME...
 I've been doing these photo a day things on Instagram for awhile now... at one point I was doing three - which, FYI, is way too many.  I decided to just do fat mum slim's challenge this month... the prompt today was MY NAME IS... which was very timely for me.  I've been struggling with changing my name - though when my lawyer asked me about it I didn't hesitate a second with my response. It's already been "changed" in a way.  My husband would send me things in my maiden name.  When I asked about it he said it was just automatic... no intention. Yeah, right. ;-)    It's not that I don't want to be associated with the name.  I was always happy to be a DiGioia... there's just no ties to it.  No children where there might be confusion at school, etc...   I felt like if I kept it I would be living a lie. It's just going to be a really big pain in the ass to change everything and I'm not looking forward to it. It's also another loss.  My family, my home, my name... Maybe it would be easier for some or if I was the one that wanted the divorce.  IDK, this has proven to be very difficult for me.

HAIR TODAY-GONE TOMORROW

I'll admit it - I love me some Jordan Catalano.   Not feeling this current hair on Jared Leto, though.  Enough. Be gone with it.
