Not so typical Football day

Breakfast

Thomas' Everything bagel w/Cream cheese

coffee w/M&S

small glass orange juice

1 clementine 

Before eating lunch, I ran 5 miles pretty slowly with Ted. The run was not impossible, but I'm confident that neither Ted, nor I really felt great afterwards. My feet are a little sore, which for me is a clear indication that I'm WAY out of shape. 

One of my objectives when running with Ted is to talk the entire time. This does slow us down, but speaking for myself, I need the time to speak with another guy and process various issues that come along with kids, health, money, etc. Our discussion today focused on the holidays and my gripes about 10 days at my in-laws. The gripe is not my in-laws themselves, but rather the anxiety associated with not being at work, not moving various projects ahead. We also discussed recent occurrences within our group of friends, travel and kids. It's funny, kids come into my discussions so frequently at this stage of life that I can't really remember what that time was filled with before. I'm guessing that those segments of conversations weren't tied to anything/person who was as important.

Lunch 2:00pm

two PBJ sandwiches on mega-wheat bread

small glass of milk

Later 

2 handfuls of grapes

three bites of daughter's chicken noodle soup

Tonight the playroom was due for a cleaning. Harper's stuff was everywhere. It's amazing to consider how much crap she actually has. We discuss the potential of moving abroad frequently and I wonder what her toy collection would look like if we lived in a place like Addis, Ethiopia, or Dar, Tanzania? Would she (and we) be able to adjust to local toys (not that there are quite as many available)? 

Dinner

Pork tenderloin

rice

salad

dessert = 4 of those Lindt chocolate balls (not Chef's "chocolate, salty balls")

Watching the Chargers, Colts game now and wondering who will pull it out in this overtime period. I've never like Payton Manning, but I've become a LT hater at this point. He's out of the game right now, was out last post-season and I'm just starting to think that he's soft AND who am I to call anyone soft, sitting here writing my harcore food journal? there is a guy who has a show on Discovery Channel about "Dirty Jobs". He shovels crap and cleans grease traps and stuff. Pretty crazy stuff. After watching season after season of NFL, I think that one of the CRAZIEST jobs out there has to be kickoff/punt-returner in the NFL. I think that I would die if I was ever hit that hard.
