from tennis matches to fondue..

so i got up to go watch tennis this lovely morning! unfortunately not the pro tournament out in palm dessert (which i think i heard roddick didn't do so hot in...correct me if i'm wrong), just my cousins college match. which was still pretty awesome....better than i could ever play. it was fun to watch and cheer but it made me think about how much i miss tennis season. especially when they did their line up.

after my family and i went out to dinner at the melting pot. so i had fondue for the first time in my life! it was muy sabrosa! first the did this cheese melt thing and brought us bread, veggies and apples to dip in it. next they brought salad which was normal, but good. then the waiter comes and gives me a plate of raw chicken. i (not knowing how this all worked) was like "ummm is this supposed to look this way?" he laughed and told explained to me that i was supposed to cook it in the broth. boy, did i feel dumb. so my cooked chicken was delicious, but not nearly as yummy as desert. we ordered a platter of all types of sampler things. they brought us a big fondue pot of melted chocolate and a plate with pineapple, strawberries, brownies, cheesed cake and angle food cake on it to dip in the chocolate. it was seriously one of the best things i have ever tasted! i love chocolate though.

so we had, had this dinner reservation for a while (before we knew our family was coming to stay) so our family all came over to our house for dinner when we weren't even there and just ate at our house without us....kinda funny. we walked in and our house was full of people. it was fun though.

wow! what a day! i'm very sleepy now so i'm going to head to bed..... hey that rhymes....rhyming, i like to rhyme!

oh, by the way...happy st. patty's day! so how many of you got pinched...i remembered my green!

I wore green, even though I didn't remember that it was St. Patrick's day. What a coincidence.
