And just like that, the fair is now halfway through. Day 5 has come and gone, and there are 5 days left...
Tonight, I kind of strayed away from one of my strict policies for this year, and bought something that I had not planned on buying. If you saw my Facebook post, I posted a picture of the "Bacon-Nizer," a food item that has been there in years past, but unnoticed by me until a few days ago. While my mom and I were eating Chinese food on Saturday, a man came to the table with one of these Bacon-Nizers. Bacon-Nizers consist of seasoned ground beef, melted cheeses, ketchup, mustard, onion, and optional jalapenos and/or mushrooms. This mixture is wrapped in a flour tortilla, wrapped in bacon, and deep fried. The gentleman with the Bacon-Nizer told me where they were, and I've been thinking about them ever since. I couldn't get it out of my mind, so I splurged on one, just to put my questions to rest. I opted for a full Bacon-Nizer minus the jalapenos. The regular cost is $7.00, $7.50 if you want mushrooms. Wow! It was good! The lady at the window was very friendly, but the size was not $7.00 worth, dropping the grade to a B+. It was the first thing I bought. That's my policy. Buy the food first, that way, you can walk it off while you are there.
Tonight was a very slow night. Very sparse as far as people go. I was able to breeze through the buildings in record time, collecting my free stuff. A friend of mine marveled that I only had one bag of stuff so far. I'm pretty sure he was joking with me. I also ran into my friends Larry and Angie. Angie had to inspect my bag to see what free stuff I had collected, and I'm assuming that I had been in the right places at the right time, because she didn't have all of the stuff I did. Angie, I guess they put out the good stuff after you walked by. By the way, you guys made the blog!! :-)
I also took a few minutes to rest and watch people. People-watching is pretty interesting. I think the thing that entertained me the most was watching people walk and text. I saw some trip over a sidewalk crack, bump into someone, or almost walk into walls or posts. I also got a chuckle over watching parents carrying their zonked-out kids back to the cars. Some being carried, some in strollers, and some practically walking in their sleep.
Tomorrow is AWANA night. I will do my duties as an AWANA director, and then head to the fair for about an hour or so. Tomorrow night, the Grandstand is hosting "Newsboys" with "For King and Country," 2 awesome Christian music groups. I'm bummed because this concert runs on a Wednesday night. I would not have had the money to go and see them, but I have seen many concerts from the other side of the fence. However, my place is in AWANA. I made a commitment to the kids and their parents, and I can't be off at the fair leaving my leaders and kids in the lurch. In fact, taking the night off of AWANA to go to the fair does not even cross my mind. It's about my priorities, and that is where they lie with me.
Today's step count numbers just over 18,000, and about 8,000 of those steps were taken at the fair. The fair involves a lot of walking. Have I made a difference in my weight? After the fair is over, I'll weigh myself and see if I made any progress. I will tell you, my feet feel a lot better after changing out my shoes. Thanks for reading, my friends, and may God bless you!
