Greetings, y’all, from the Great State of Texas!
I am whisked away this week to Austin, TX for a work meeting. Working in sales, our national team only gets together about 2 times every year. When we do, it’s always a lot of fun catching up! This trip is NO exception!
Company meetings and company fun means one thing though…
Buffet-Style Meals
Breakfast buffets, lunch buffets, buffets o’ soda… we’ve got them all.
How do I survive these? I’m using the plate rules my JCC talked to me about. I’m filling about 1/2 of my plate with salad, about a quarter of the plate with protein, and the remaining quarter is more veggies (skipping the ones that are dripping in butter/oil).
I may have had a TINY dollop of scallion whipped potatoes today though. Holy delicious mashed potatoes!!! I heart mashed taters, for real! I’ll also confess that I was THIS CLOSE to heading to the dessert buffet when I decided to walk with a group of co-workers to check out the spa. Phew!
We’re off to a team builder now, but thought I would check in. I mean, how often can I say I’m in Texas? Have a great day, Y’all
We made the weather nicer just in time for your visit – have a ball in Austin! Y'all should go out dancing tonight at The Broken Spoke or the Continental Club. Thanks, by the way, for getting the punctuation right on y'all. 😉
The weather was perfect. We were in meetings most of the time though… so, stuck in the A/C as opposed to enjoying the sunshine.
And, of course, I got the punctuation right…. we say y'all in TN, too!
So, a little off subject, but I felt it was necessary to tell you that
1) I recently got that target trench coat in red and I love love love it (and get compliments everywhere I go!) I <3 Target
2) You inspired me to read One Day, I just downloaded it to my kindle!!
@Erin – – Yay for the red jacket! It's so cute! Love that I've inspired you positively!
