Day 42. I woke up today excited for dinner. A great restuarant with flavorful food! The Melting Pot!

I'd have to get through work though, obviously, before I could get to dinner. Work was actually rather busy, as we are preparing for a sale, so it went by in a flash! I like sales. It makes the days go by faster and makes for a lot of work! Plus it's fun to see all the regular customers that haven't been in for a while, and try to remember their names. One customer, an SC alumnus, came in and we got to talking about about my going back to school. He sounded optimistic that he could easily get me some intern hours with some graduates and professors of the USC school of PT. Awesome! I definitely need to at least get some of those hours in, as I need at least 40 hours to even apply, and it would let me take a peek into that life to see if I even want to do it! I'm going to work on this for the next week or so!

I also signed up for a golf tournament for the 21st. It's three nine-hole matches at SCGA in Murrieta. I'm kind of excited!

After work, I headed to the restaurant. It wasn't a date just so you all know. It was a "finder's fee" for finding my wallet on Mt. Baldy. We started with a fiesta cheese fondue (spicy!) then a salad. After this was the main course; two lobster tails, steak, chicken, sun dried tomato ravioli, bratwurst and shrimp! Mmmmm! SEE HERE! Although the last few bites took a while to get down because we were full, we did finish it all. Proof! And we still had dessert coming. Oof! Dessert was awesome though. A white chocolate, caramel banana fondue with marshmallows, strawberries, cheesecake, rice crispy treats etc. to dip! The fondue was set on fire and the waitress brought us graham crackers and told us to roast the marshmallows and make smores! SO good! But definitely OVER-STUFFED!

After dinner we decided to go from Irvine to Hermosa to watch a friend play some reggae at Saint Rocke. That's a pretty nice little joint to see some live music! I recommend it!

After they finished their set, we decided to head home. Pretty fun little night. Well outside my budget, but I definitely owed her because she saved me BIG TIME! I'll just have to be uber conservative for a while, which I was planning on doing anyway! Oh and yes, I'm STILL FULL!

Until tomorrow, there's day 42 of 365.
