Hey kids!! Is anyone still out there? I know, I know, I have been a very bad blogger person just dropping off the face of the earth like I have. To be honest with you, I always felt like no one reads my babble anyway until someone actually wrote to me and asked what was up and why I hadn't written in ages. If I had been wearing bloomers they would have blown right off of me from the shock of that one.(Just wanted to give you the visual of the fuss in bloomers, see what you get for checking in? That should fix your wagon!)
Anyway, I'm not going to torture you with the details of my personal trials and tribulations suffice to say, I have had quite a few tribulations over the past few months!The most shocking one is......I started dating! YES!! QUELLE HORREUR! That's right, every Saturday night for a bit, the Fuss opened up her parlour to gentlemen callers over chitchat, lemonade and tea cookies. Being courted is quite the second job I must say. I have learned that men are quite the species, as if I didn't know it before. My biggest conclusion? Womenless men are a lonely bunch whereas menless women are a carefree fun loving bunch. Of course I'm generalizing big time but I just had to say it because it was a major thing I noticed. I think women have friendships that sustain us in more fulfilling ways than men do. I can honestly say that I do not get lonely. The only time I have ever been lonely is when I miss my dear sweet mother (and this is a continuing theme in my life since losing her that I have learned to accept and live with now even though I hate it and it hurts me deeply). Other than missing her I do not feel loneliness at all. My Girlfriends ( and a few good man friends too) really never let me. Men, well, it appears that for many of them the woman in their life is their best friend......I'll just leave it at that and get on with the major thing to report at hand.........
OK, I have been doing weight watchers AGAIN for the 100Th time in my life. Thank God I am not too far gone, I have maybe 10 to lose at this point but I have lost about 15 so far. So I go to a meeting every Monday night. At the meeting, I am weighed by a wonderfully supportive guy named Vince. Vince lost 150 lbs. He is a SUPAH STAH. NO no one is better than Vince. So I had a really bad week last week. I mean bad. I was PMSing and belligerent like you would not believe. I must have said "fuck" and "shit" like 645 times in one day and I cried probably twice at absolutely nothing. I actually broke down into an intense sobbing fit over a bowl of meatballs. So I went into Rite Aid (drugstore) to buy toothpaste and soap and lo and behold there it was. THE EASTER CANDY DISPLAY. AWWWWW YEAH! Devil on one shoulder, angel on the other. Devil won. I waddled off to the counter with my bag 'o chocolate and guess who was walking right toward me? VINCE. THE WEIGHT WATCHER GUY WHO WEIGHS ME. I can imagine an alcoholic might feel this intense shame when exiting a liquor store and running into their AA sponsor in the street. Vince smiled and looked at me and simply said...Hey, how ya doing? What's up? I played it cool and just quipped..."oh hey Vince, good to see ya, nothing much, been real busy with work, sorry I missed the meeting last night". He just smiled back and said.."OK, see you next week?"...."Oh sure!" said I, the disgraced fatty.
So you would think I learned my lesson right? The divine being put Vince in my path and that should have made me re-think emotional eating, right? HELLZ NAH! I proceeded to eat 6 small coconut cream eggs and then...the next day my co-worker got me a HUGE Cuban sandwich and a bag of cheetos and I got down and dirty with those too. Came home, it was all a blur and I just passed out into a food coma. The grand total for that....up 4 pounds. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Valerie Bertinelli. I am just right now back at my pre PMS binge weight after eating clean and drinking tons of tea at night instead of snacking. Incidentally, Teavana teas are just the most enjoyable teas. And I hate tea but these are so satisfying. So that's all I got for ya right now but coming up, I will be doing my long promised Bacon (should always be capitalized, talking to Obama about making it a law) review. I have tried many and would like to share my faves with you.
I also want to say thank you to anyone who reads my random babble and tell you that I appreciate your time and kindness. If there was any chocolate left here I would send you some right now. That's all for now! :)
