Well, I hear you loud and clear! Did ya get my e-mail?
In the zillion marathon chats we had, I didn't mention my affiliation with the fair Commonwealth of VA? Well, I'm a borne and bred VA girl. It's my childhood home, and I'm now a westerner at heart. Funny... every time I head home, I get pangs of emotions. But they are mostly guilt that I can't see my loved ones more often. If they all die or move away, it won't hold the same feeling with me. So right now, moving back isn't on the table for discussion... even though I think about it quite a bit.
Carl's isn't a chain... it's a one hit wonder unto itself. I'm going to give them a little more free advertising, even though the line outside it doesn't need this. If you're ever in the city of Fredericksburg, it's right off Rt. 1.
The guy who owns it is the brother to one who used to run the best damn frozen custard stand in northern VA... very close to my folks' house. That would be Frozen Dairy Bar in Falls Church. Gotcha covered when you're in town!
Slim4Life... you got it. I'll hook you up if you are interested. Warning: it doesn't include Carl's or FDB, but I have to admit that I splurged at Carl's on Saturday night. After all, I haven't been back in 10 years.
I'm really pleased with the progress but have to say I periodically miss my cheeseburgers, pickles and peanut butter. Soon. In the meantime, I'm going to workout on my way home.
Let me know when you're going to be around on a Friday night. If it's soon, we can do Harry Potter. It's playing on the widescreen on Colo Blvd.... maybe I'll bring D7? She was watching the Chamber of Secrets when I got home yesterday. But this one is way more scary. Not sure if she'll understand the idea of dementors???
I'm willing to give it a shot, though, if you're going to be down this way.
Good to see you up this way again!
