I had to open with the video my mad clogging skills because I’m so excited about it!! Good thing I ended up wearing my Toms (after discarding heels & flip-flops) because they were PERFECT! I ended up learning cool moves like the Snake Step ‘n Squish and the Grasshopper. Do you see the Post Bulletin photographer lady? Is there a reason she’s photographing those oldies over there instead of me? Does she realize I delivered the PB for years?!?!

Let me rewind a little bit. Tonight Kevin James and I spontaneously decided to attend a barn dance in Lanesboro, MN.

They had a pretty great turnout, and the hall was packed! We really enjoyed ourselves at our wedding dance so we figured we’d give this a try. Ultimately it wasn’t my favorite that there were so many mixers and I had to dance with strange men. The horror! They were pretty harmless. Although some of the old bearded men were prettttty pushy and could do-si-do circles around me any day!

Afterwards, we really needed some ice cream! It turns out that barn dancing and clogging are EXCELLENT workouts! We earned some ice cream. Kevin James, you can blame my dad for my Kwik Trip habit!

I went for the Butterfingers & Kevin James selected the Ben & Jerry’s!

After cutting a rug for a few hours, we made it back to Winona before midnight and wanted to pick up a few ingredients for a festive dessert for tomorrow! Oops! I found myself in my Valley of Temptation — the CHIP AISLE!

I really do love that aisle. And being in American grocery stores, the variety is just amazing. Endless combinations of BBQ, chipotle, pizza, cheesey, ranch, peppercorn, kettle, jack — it’s just too much to resist. I tricked Kevin James into bringing the Sun Chips home specifically for the purpose of “eating them in bed tonight while I blog.”

Before leaving town today, Kevin James treated me to a fave – Subway! The avocado is totally bringing me into the store these days! Those commercials work! Check out my chicken/avocado/veggie combo!

And here’s our happy squishy Subway booth grins!!!

Today was awesome, and I’m totally looking forward to two more days with my hot husband. I’m so thankful to have so much time with him!!
