Homebound

It’s official. My sister’s apartment is all packed up and we are currently pulling all of her possessions behind us in a great big trailer. Kelly has graduated and is moving back home. She will start grad school at UCF in the fall, but in the mean time she will be living back home and working for the summer. I can not wait to have my little sister less then an hour away from me.

We actually finished packing the majority of Kelly’s stuff fairly early yesterday and decided to see a movie with the spare time. The boys saw Wolverine and the girls saw Ghosts of GIrlfriends Past.

In the theatre I snacked on a Cinnamon Raisin Gnu Bar.

The movie was cute, but I have to say Mathew McConaughey has been spending far too much time in the sun. His face resembled burned leather. There was also too many shots of girls in barely there underwear and not enough of the shirtless Mr. McConaughey.

After the movie we all started listing off all of the wonderful local joints Tallahassee has to offer and all agreed Monks would be the best choice. I LOVE Monks and their build your own burger menu. For some one like me who has a taste for crazy combinations its perfect.

But first we had to study the beer menu.

After quizzing our server, my Sister, her boyfriend and I split a pitcher of Hoegaarden, a Belgium White.

It was disgusting. Really, we all hated it and immediately requested a new pitcher of Smithwicks instead.

Much better.

After studying the build you own menu I decided to go with a tropical BBQ theme. I ordered the Chicken Breast Burger with Pineapple Rings, Red Onion, Blue Cheese and Chipolte Honey BBQ Sauce on Honey Wheat Bread, with Fruit Salad on the side.

It was messy, but good! I had actually asked for the sauce on the side, but since we already sent the beer back I didn’t feel like conplaining about the sandwich. I can live with an oversauced burger. I ate all of the fruit and about 3/4 of the chicken burger.

We were all sporting Seminole Pride at the meal.

It was late when we were done eating and I pretty much passed right out when we made it back to the hotel.

This morning I felt I could have slept forever, but my parents felt obligated to wake my up at 6:30am. WHy? I shall never know.

We headed to my Sister’s apartment to pack up the loose ends and my Aunt and I made breakfast. Stairs were still not my friend.

I made a 2 egg omlette, Fruit Salad, and Toast with Raspberry Preserves.

We were trying to kill the vegetables in the fridge so I had Asparagus, Radishes and Spinach in my omlette.

As I started cutting the radishes, my mom looked over my shoulder and asked if I was really going to put those in my eggs. My Mom’s tastebuds vary greatly from mine. I quite enjoyed the radishes in my eggs.

We hit the road a little after 9:00am and now I am killing time on the four hour drive back by typing this post. You can also assume I have had my fair share of this community bag of homemade trail mix.

Peanuts, Sunflower Seeds, M&Ms, & Raisins. Yum!

This is definitely when an Iphone would come in handy. Could you think of a better time to catch up on blog reading? Oh well.
