So...today was pretty good

There is nothing quite like falling asleep around midnight and then waking up at 11:30 in the morning.  It has been a long time since I've slept like that.  It's odd, because I went to bed at 9:30 pm the other day and couldn't get to sleep, even though I was dead tired!

Anyhow, I slept for eleven or so hours.  Then I woke up and I felt like going to Burger King.  I decided that I shouldn't go to BK until dinner, so I went to the grocery store instead.  And then I caved and bought fried chicken because I had two coupons.  So I never made it to BK, but I sure ate some chicken!  Then I did some homework, went to the gym (which I haven't done in weeks due to school), and then went on a picnic with some people from the ward and some of their friends.  I took an apple, some beef jerky, and some string cheese, along with a bottle of water.  It's seriously the healthiest thing I ate all day.

While on the picnic, I met a friend of a friend.  She was nice and it was fun to make a new friend.  I felt all sweaty and gross since I had just come from the gym.  We briefly spoke, and then kind of went our separate ways while walking to a party that was happening down the street.  After a shower and a change of clothing, I went to the party with practically no expectations, but then I wound up talking to her for several hours. It was fun!  I accompanied her to country dancing (which is something I've never done before, but now wish I knew how to do), and then walked her back to her car.  It was a fun night.

So this was a good day.  I'm all tired out.  And I need to come up with a new recipe to post.  I should do some experimenting when I have some time.  Maybe something with beef?  I should figure out how to make some delicious roast beef in the Crock-pot and then share the resulting roast beef sandwiches.  I like mine with a little mozzarella sometimes.  I'll bet if I roasted some beef with a little root beer or Pepsi Wild Cherry, it would come out great.

Alright!  Next beef sale, I'll get right on it!

Ooh, I wonder if there's a bacon-y way to make roast beef.  Oh yeah.

EDIT:  I forgot to mention that I found out that I'm going to JAPAN!!!!!!!  I'm so excited!  Freakin' Japan, dude!  I have no idea what all I'm going to do there, but I strongly desire to go to Yokosuka and check out Dobuita Street (also known as "the Honch").  I'm so excited.  I want to do the Shenmue tour!  I'd also love to hit up Sega HQ, but that's probably not going to happen.  Today was a great day.  I can hardly believe it.
