On the way back from the Iowa Library Association conference last week, my co-workers and I stopped at Dairy Queen to eat. 

It was raining…it was cold…and dairy queen sounded just right – especially since our hometown Dairy Queen closed for the season, and doesn’t serve a full menu when they’re open.

I was super excited…to be eating out.  Nathan and I stopped eating out as an experiment with our finances…and our waistlines.  

I ordered…the grilled turkey club…with cheeseballs. I was good and didn’t have any ice cream (but only because i figured the cheeseballs made up for it and more.)

If I look in pain…it is because i was. This is what i had left when i started to feel full.  I started taking big breaths in order to make room for the whole meal. (have you ever noticed that you start to breathe deeper when getting full?) I was always a clean plate girl…but seriously underestimated the size of the order!  

I told Stacey though…I didn’t cook it, and I didn’t pay for it…so I’m gonna eat it. 

And I did.

I made Stacey take the picture on her phone…so, thanks stace for the image to the post!
