The Chocolate Cake Temptation

I was sitting at my cubicle happily dieting when the people decided they should go eat at Magleby's. I had never been there and had my drawer full of Progresso soups that were like no points in the Weight Watcher's scale. I protested but they said it was for bonding that there is the new guy Curtis that was going too (so you don't say you don't want to bond because the new guy may think you are the boring guy) so I went.

They were giving chocolate cake with your meal. I joked with the host that the picture on the menu was huge with no disclaimer that it was not the real size of the slice they were giving (they should be careful in our world of people who sue for anything.) Anyway. The food arrived and the slice was very small but it was chocolate cake and I was not going to eat it. I decided to give my slice to Allison (a co-worker that stayed in the office on a business call.)

When I was leaving, the host asked if I liked the chocolate cake and I told him of my plan to give it to a friend. He said I had to have a slice and went on to get one for me to take along to work. I followed him and took this picture of the whole cake but then he gave

me a slice that was like 4 o

r 5 times bigger than what everyone got. The group went to the car and I stayed behind. When they saw what I got for free from Magleby's they could not believe it! I

could not believe it! But then, people keep giving me things so I believed it. It was pure temptation. I took the cake home and gave to the family. It was an amazing cake. I remembered the episode of Lost when Hurly was starting a diet and food fell from the sky... hehe. This time was a huge slice of cake.

Merceds Vegas - The nurse!!!

This morning the waiter asked me: Did you sleep well Mr Bueno? (but it was in Spanish) Then I answered: "You know, I have this pain in the neck. I am not sure if it was the pillow or the bed." Then she went and called a nurse!!! And they switched my room to a better one! I cannot tell how concerned the people at this hotel are that I am comfortable and that I cannot say that one thing was not satisfactory! They are all very nice and the food presentation is always impeccable and so is the room and the way the door man greets you and all the cab drivers. No grouchy people at the desk in the lobby!

But here is the best: the nurse came and took my pressure and told me it was high and I had to go easy on the salt. She checked my muscles on my neck and went to check my pillows along with the lady that supervises the rooms. So I get a new room today and they will make sure I get the best feather pillows they have. Oh the hospitality of the Peruvians! I was not complaining, I just answered a question but they are amazing! Here are the videos of my early morning check up... hehe.




Here is when she checks my blood pressure the second time! Awhhhh it is so nice to be taken care of!
