10,000 Food Choices

Linda got up before 6:00 for our walk, but decided that she really didn't want to chance aggravating her back before her 3 classes today.  Even though she only did 3 easy classes yesterday, she was in some pain last night at Family Night just standing around talking.  She tried to do one lap (not even 1/4 of a mile) with a friend around the parking lot, and it just wasn't a good idea.  When she gets home this afternoon, it will be way too hot for our walk even if she feels up to it. Maybe later when it gets dark.  A friend from church invited her to dinner tonight at a place called the Golden Corral.  There is something about the idea of that restaurant that makes Linda feel like nails on a chalk board. The names sounds like a bunch of horses at a rich spa all lined up at a fancy trough chowing down.  She does not really like standing in line at buffets as plates are heaped 10 feet high, watching people waste piles of food and forcing yourself to keep eating just because it's already paid for.  She has done buffets before, but she likes to go when it's not crowded and with one or two people.  (Quirky and Strange!)  She wants to go to hang out with her friends, but maybe she'll just get a drink and keep her dumb opinions to herself.  UPDATE:  The plans were changed to a movie and ice cream (but not because anyone read this post, too many people just did not want to drive that far for dinner.)  Linda can't go anyway because..... of.... um.... just because.  More to come later.
