Hot mouths, cold blizzards, and long hikes

I took my Zipcar to a new shopping center over the weekend. I always pass by it, but for whatever reason, I never find the time to stop in. But it was Saturday night and my girlfriend and I found ourselves with a few hours on our hands so we decided to check it out. We parked and saw a supermarket that we stopped in to pick up our once-a-year favorite cereal: Count Chocula. But surprisingly the store did not carry it, so we bought some extra-spicy potato chips instead. As we ate the chips walking back to the car, our mouths were on fire so we stopped in a Dairy Queen to kill the heat. (Can you tell we're candy addicts?) We had actually never been to a DQ before but all our friends are big fans so I'm glad we checked it out. We ate our Blizzards, went back to the Zipcar and went home.

Lest you think that the Low-Car Diet has only encouraged us to do unhealthy things, I'd also like to point out that I went on a 2-hour hike earlier this week and saw a caterpillar that I snapped a picture of. Cute little guy, isn't he?
