Day Eight. It snowed about 3 inches in intown Atlanta last night. My work is closed for the day. The frozen rain started at 8:00 a.m. this morning Chris and I took Kayla (our dog) for a 4.5-mile walk around town to survey the situation. After that, we dropped her off, and headed back out on foot to meet up with some friends for drinks and lunch at a local burger/beer joint. I figured a veggie burger and salad would be a safe choice. I asked for no mayo on my burger, and no cheese on my salad. Sadly, the kindly cooks did not get the message about the mayo, and slathered it on my burger anyway. I don't like mayo on my burger in any case, and especially not as a vegan. I was annoyed, but way too hungry to send it back. Foiled again!
We finished up there, then walked another 2 miles down the road to our local pub to watch the BCS National Championship. They weren't serving any food (remember: at this point, there is about an inch of ice covering all the roads in Atlanta), so a friend walked to the only pizza place nearby to get pizzas. I was starving at this point, and had partook in a few adult beverages. So with fuzzy judgment and hungry belly, I had a piece of vegetable pizza. Drats. Cheese wins again.
Chris and I left the pub at halftime of the game and trekked the 3 miles back to our house. I figure that, in all, we walked almost 9 miles in snow and ice. I'm going to be sore tomorrow!
