One good thing is...

...that I've lost about 5 pounds or so in the past couple of weeks. I can fit back into those pesky jeans that have been a little snug since Thanksgiving, and I'm wearing a shirt that didn't look so great a couple of months ago.

I'm planning to walk the Ravenel Bridge after I get off work in an hour or so, which I've been doing on a pretty regular basis for about three weeks. It's just the best way to de-stress, walking over the beautiful Cooper River, and today will be so beautiful. Plus, it's a great way to get in shape. I even got to watch dolphins playing below me last week.

The bad news is that I'll probably need to walk an extra mile or two after tomorrow afternoon. I'm heading up to Holly Hill, which is about and hour outside of Charleston, to the famous Sweatman's BBQ with a bunch of fellow Tweeters. This is exciting for a few reasons.
1. I am completely obsessed with barbecue.
2. No, really, I am obsessed with barbecue.
3. Sweatman's offers a buffet of barbecue.
4. Anthony Bourdain ate there when he came to the Lowcountry and absolutely loved it (he said).
5. I get to meet new people.

As Bourdain so eloquently said, “Most people get off on watching porn, I get off on watching men chop pork.”
So how better could I spend my lonely Valentine's Day?
