Sick and Tired

Last Saturday night I went to a friend's birthday dinner at Moonshine Patio Bar and Grill.


Susan's Birthday Dinner at Moonshine. Posted by Hello

I had the Texas Flat Iron steak with a bleu cheese butter sauce that was delicious. I want to go back and try the rainbow trout which was subsequently recommended by a coworker that I ran into while leaving the restaurant. The place was nice, not too pretentious, and off the beaten path compared to other downtown restaurants. The $2 valet parking made it really easy to get in and get out. Definitely not a F&L (first and last) dining experience.

On Easter Sunday, I went to my grandmother's house and celebrated the resurrection of Christ by proceeding to gorge myself on barbecued chicken, sausage, ham, and too many sides and desserts to mention. I didn't go to Easter Mass, but I did watch Joel Osteen's service at Minute Maid Park and Tivo'd it. Does that count? I was raised Catholic, but recently have been trying to figure out what religion/church to attend. I am definitely a Christian, but don't necessarily believe in all of the teachings of the Catholic church; some of the canons seem contrived and man-made versus divine. But I guess that's what faith is all about.

Yesterday I woke up with congestion and a stuffy nose. I lied around the house resting and watching CNN for the latest on the Pope's health conditions. At 2:00 I went to a friend's beautiful Catholic wedding but began feeling achy and feverish so I didn't attend the reception. What the heck? I was sick just two weeks ago!! Needless to say, I have only run 14 miles over the past two weeks.
