tobermory's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheese, it's a binder. No, I�m not dead and just because I haven�t journaled in over a week doesn�t mean that I stopped eating either. Just don�t expect to see a neat ordered food list that covers the past week because I can�t remember most of it and for part of it I was in Green Bay and you can sum up my eating there in one word: CHEESE! Ok, that�s not really true � I was pretty moderated in my eating. I even voluntarily had a salad up in Door County (despite desperately coveting Weetabix�s Lillehamburger) and I ordered the raw veggie platter as an appetizer while watching the Packers game, but only to cut the grease from the mini-corn dogs that I also ordered. Speaking of cheese (and get ready for some good ol� TMI) I bought a bag of the fresh string cheese from the cheese emporium that we stopped at on the way up to Door County and it has prompted me to make a recommendation. If you are heading to Mexico and think you need to stock up on Immodium, think again. Just buy a bag of fresh string cheese and eat about 3 pieces per day. I�m normally a candidate for severe IBS 9or something like that), but the cheese has managed to stop up my system quite nicely. Thankfully I�m finished with the bag because I�m pretty tired of poop that has corners. Pointy corners. Now just try and erase that image from your mind. In other news, the lovely Weet was kind enough to share her beauty bounty of full-sized freebies that she receives from cosmetic companies in the hopes that she might write about them. Being a status whore, I rooted through the swag bag and chose an eye cream from LaPrairie because the chances of me ever buying an eye cream that costs a fucking unbelievable $265.00 are slim. Not slim to none because I am easy prey for the cosmetics counter girls, but still pretty slim. In a most amusing turn of fate, a Saks beauty catalog came to the house on Monday and Steve happened to look through it (WTF? He�s so anti-metrosexual that I have to nag him to use moisturizer in the winter when our house becomes so dry that it makes the Sahara look like a fertile delta) and he spotted the very same eye cream that was sitting on the table in front of him. He completely freaked out because he was unaware of the freebie/swag status of the eye cream and thought I had become the mistress of frivolous spending. To which I say, �oh honey � I would not spend $265.00 on eye cream which may or may not live up to its claims of fabulousity when we have things like kitchen faucets and flooring to buy. Just don�t look in my closet because then you might notice that there are about 5 pairs of completely ridiculous shoes that I�m waiting to gently work into the rotation in the hopes that you might not notice that they are new. And ridiculous.� I�m frivolous, but mostly in the footwear department. Speaking of which, Mike is coming to town next week with one of his new co-workers and I believe I�ll be joining them for a fun-filled night of dinner and shopping. I plan on pleading a case for the Nordstrom Rack because they have a lovely selection of shoes there just ripe for the picking and they are all on markdown so I won�t feel too guilty. And I do need a pair of black (and brown) shoes that I can wear in place of my Dansko clogs because I�d like to look a wee bit more polished at work. Today: Things I remember eating/drinking since I last updated (remember � that was over a week ago): a beef stick, chocolate covered pretzels, a shot of apple pucker poured directly into my mouth, a crusted snapper filet and an amazing caprese salad, a couple of small omelets, 2 bagels with real cream cheese, chicken yaki soba, a side order of the most excellent pickled beets ever, more diet Coke than I�ve had all year combined, a McDonald�s 3 piece chicken select value meal, a chicken Caesar salad with dressing on the side, a variety of deep fried appetizers that included but was not limited to: mini-corn dogs, fried cheddar thingys, fried cheese curds and spicy fries�.there must be more and I know there�s more healthy-ish stuff but it�s funny how the amazingly tasty and full-fat versions are what stick in my memory. And, I bet you all though I�d forgotten how to add the comments section. Nope, just lazy. 2:08 p.m. - 2007-10-03 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
