Day 24 - Eating Out...But Not

Today was my friend Ali's last diving meet ever!

On the way over to the meet, I ate a granola bar and drank some water. Hardly enough to fill the belly.

Lunch was really enlightening. I went out to eat with a group of people after Ali's diving meet in downtown Clemson...but...didn't order anything to eat. I just sat there and drank my water. This is the first time that I had ever been out with people but not ordered anything to eat. I got to observe from the mindset of someone that could not afford to buy a meal but still hang out with people.

Some people offered me a fry here and there. The real prize came when my great friend Tori gave me the rest of her Portabello Mushroom burger! It was good. Probably not something I would order myself (if I was paying) but it was delicious.

Then my friend Ali sat down and started to eat but then said she wasn't feeling good...so she passed her burger to me! So I ended up with 2 burgers for lunch! Unbelievable.

For supper, I had an even more special treat. I got to use the rest of the Olive Garden gift card that I had. I ordered the all-you-can-eat Soup, Salad, and Breadsticks! It was delicious. After we finished at Olive Garden, we went back to my friend Tavarus' house and watched The Saint. Tavarus said that Josh and I could have some of the cookie cake on the counter. So Josh and I dug in. Before we knew it, we had eaten almost half the cookie cake! I immediately drank a lot of water to try and dilute the sugar so I wouldn't mess my stomache up. I was sooooo good. Worth the hassle :)
