I've come to know that this sentence doesn't usually end well for me: "You know what sounds good?"
Cuz then we usually have whatever it was that I thought sounded good...for dinner, that is.
Friday I was starving all day long. So I said to my husband, "You know what sounds good?"
Then I proceeded to tell him the name of a place that I know, for a fact, is one of his favorites, therefore he will not be able to say no. Ha!
We headed out to dinner feeling pretty good.
We ate to our hearts content. It was Chinese food, by the way. A buffet. A fat girl's worst nightmare and most glorious heaven at the same time.
One plate.
Two plates.
Each plate filled with more food than the last.
Dessert.
Um. Wait, the kids need dessert. Oh! I didn't try that! Better get some. Who knows when we'll be back here? Plus I've been starving all day. I better get it.
I began to feel woozy. Food drunk? Okay, that's a real thing, and I wasn't feeling it, but I wasn't feeling good, either.
The ride home was long. Filled with bumps and holes that I never knew existed.
3 things I've learned because of this episode:
1) You can eat until your heart's discontent.
2) I like deep fried stuff. Anything deep fried...my plate had nothing green on it. Except for some spinach. Which was covered in...cheese.
3) I now know what it feels like to be pregnant with Chinese triplets. Long. Duk. And Dong.
Linking up with these ladies!
ps: my little boy has been sick since saturday...high fever, sore throat, etc. say a prayer? and if you don't see me around much, that would be why.

"A buffet. A fat girl's worst nightmare and most glorious heaven at the same time."
there is SOOO much i love about those 2 sentences. they pretty much sum up a FEW of the reasons i love you so much.
i die.
seriously.
so funny.
saying prayers for little boy.
Gosh but I love food too. Especially buffets. Pray your son recovers quickly. I hate it when any of my kids get sick. They're such angels when they're sick.
LOL! Why is Chinese food the one food you can eat and eat and eat and eat...?
I just indulged in Panda Express last week and sear I puffed up like a balloon for three days!
Poor little guy!
I said Long Duk Dong this weekend. I know I did....I just don't remember why.
Well it's hard to believe anything could be bad about a Long Duk Dong but I guess you've proved that wrong, lol. Hope your son is feeling better soon .
Ugh. We do this to ourselves at buffets, too. I mean, you gotta get your money's worth, right?
I'm so sorry your son is sick! I'll definitely say a prayer for him!!!
You know what sounds good lately? Hot Fudge Sundae. Hot gooey brownies. Dammit.
I hope your boy gets well soon!
Your title made me choke on my cheerios.
I better take you to Cafe Trang this summer - Vietnamese, and sooo delish.
I hope little boy gets feeling better...we'll all keep him in our prayers!
I totally thought that some random freak that linked up to our link party! LONG DUK DONG made me giggle out loud when I saw that it was YOU! hehehehehe!
You know, my water broke in a chinese restaurant and I haven't had it since then. CRAZY right? There is nothing better than fried asian food!!
Prayers for the little boy. =( Hope he's better soon!
Thanks for linking up with us! i've been missing you! I love you long time!
Food drunk is very much a real thing!
you should know that I clicked on the link to this post because and only because of the awesome title. Love that movie.
"Dong? Where is my autombile?"
I used to love Chinese. Not so much since I've been pregnant. I'm not sure I can have it anyway.
Hope your little stinker gets to feeling better soon.
I always overdo it at Chinese buffets so I'm kinda glad Tim hates those places!!
Hope you're little one is feeling better soon! We've had the yuckies around here too which is why I've been absent.
No wait! You're NOT pregnant??
Long Duk Dong! BHAHAHAHAHA!
I would (and totally have) been the same. Yum Chinese!
New follower to your blog! There are certain places that I go that I eat that way too. and I have also come to the conclusion that I am much more of a deep fried girl than veggie girl!
Hahaha! When I saw this title I immediately thought Sixteen Candles...one of my favorite movies from the 80's.
Hope you're feeling better now!
Now I am totally wanting to go to the Chinese buffet but I am the only one in my family that LOVES Chinese. I could go for about 10 or more crab rangoons now...YUM!
HA! Man, I want to go to a buffet now! Sadly, I don't have a lot of choices at most buffets.
I love what Ellen said about buffets:
"All you can eat? We don't need to eat all we can eat. We're not bears."
That said, I LOVE stuffing myself. ESPECIALLY with desert.
By linking up the post title and not your name I was fearful (and possibly a little disappointed) to click on the link.
You crack my stuff up girl!
I'm sorry you were hungry all day, ate too much, and paid the ultimate price of feeling sick. I hate when that happens!
I hope your little man is feeling better soon!
XOXO ~ We love you like a fat chick loves a Chinese buffet!
LOVE Chinese food! Since the middle child has nut allergies, we can't eat it with him around :( Sorry to hear about the kiddos! Hubby and all three kids have been sick since last Weds. I'm going crazy over here. Hopefully it won't spread throughout your house. BECAUSE we need to go to the movies!!!
Awww, I hope your little man feels better soon! Hubs just called and he has a sore throat too. Dang it, I was *just* saying that we've been well for a long time! I knew I shouldn't have said that out loud!
Anyway. You are sooooo right. You can, in fact, eat until your heart's discontent. I do that often :(
Oh no!! Sorry your babies are sick!
I am in love with the deep fried stuff also! You're not alone!!
bahahaha chinese sounds delish right now!
I think I'm getting too old for buffets. I used to love them when I was in college, but now I feel sick for hours after I eat at a buffet. It's just too much food temptation.
have mercy, you are hilarious on SO many levels.
Hilarious about the Chinese buffet, oh my goodness, I understand! It's our favorite place to go on date nights and I purposely don't eat much during the day if I know we are eating there. Then I stuff my face and still feel sick later. But there is always room for dessert!
Bummer your little guy is sick! My 4 yr old is sick too, BUMMER! He didn't want to go to basketball practice which means I know he isn't feeling well. Hope he gets better soon!
wow - yuck- I mean yum? I don't know how to respond to this......

Chinese Triplets? I'm laughing my ass off!
