I got so much done at work today and I'm going to present my findings in a presentation tomorrow. I feel mean because it's a critique of our web application design, but oh well. I'm good at it and I'm just being honest. I hope the software application designer won't be in the meeting. He might cry afterwards!
Speaking of crying, I also had a good pseudo-cry at dinner. I chopped up the largest red onion I have ever seen. Really I think it made at least 2+ whole cups of chopped onion! I actually had tears running down my face. Such a nice catharsis since I wasn't sad. Just had a good cry LOL! Good for my sinuses too. Sniff, sniff! I like joking that I'm really sad when I'm chopping onions. Cracks me up!
Well, gotta go make tea, chop veggies, and take the pup out for a nighttime constitutional! Be back in a bit. I forget if I even replied to your last posts. I am going to check into the Isopure Zero brand. Lately I like freezing my pudding a little for a treat. Wonder how I could make a pudding consistency with protein powder - would adding gelatin do it? Any ideas? Hope you had a good day! I did - I was very productive at work and when feeling down, I drank some tea. I still have some work to do (side-project) so... Off I go!
Oh in other good news, my boyfriend had his weigh in today and he lost another 5 pounds! Woot! He's lost 5 pounds each of his 3 weeks so far. He has 10-15 pounds to go (he hasn't decided yet if his goal is 160 or 155 and will see when he gets there). I'm so proud of him. He's sticking to the plan like glue. And the loss is so consistent for him!

YOU CRACK ME UP!! Seriously, I always look forward to your postings, you remind me ALOT of myself- so, indeed, you have got to be one cool chick ( and very humble
).
Ah yes. Chopping up onions, how cathartic... besides the temporary blindness. that is hailarioius that you pretend to be upset while snotting all over the place, I was laughing out loud, how very melodramatic of you- I think it is a scream! You can an A+ for animation and personality, and for gusto- I always leave that to my mom! I react a little too strongly to the onions- IN FACT, sometimes, even if the aroma and whatever that god-awful chemical chemical it is wafts out into the restaurant I am in I am usually doubled over and completely blinded for about 5- 10 minutes... followed by 3-4 waiters and usually a manager asking what is wrong and comping my meal and apoliging egrigously- you know there like- HA- I'm always like "I'm fine I'm fine- I just can't see and well.. I feel like I have acid in my eyes... but besides that everything is great!" Its WeIrD!! And embarassing! I usually look like some zombie from a horror movie by the end of it- mascara ALL over my face and shirt- nothing left of my eye shawdow and only patches left of any bronzer or powder I was wearing- Ahh... the perfect 1st date! Happened once at Cheeseburger Cheeseburger... Good times.
The Zero Carb Isopure is delicious in the Creamy Vanilla and I don't think you need to add it to anything. I think it tastes better than anything on Ideal Protein, but thats my personal opinion, now the fruity kool-aid like Isopure drinks are not as lushious but not bad, but better with a little ice and some ice cold filtered water. I scored on some of those at GNC when I found some expiring in a month and got 75% off!! got them for $1 a piece and 2 serving of 20grams of protein in each! I bought like 12 of them (ALL OF THEM!) SO I would check out GNC if you have one near by, they had them on sale, and a little flirting never hurt anyone. I have a saying, "if you don't ask, someone can't tell you no." It never hurts to ask, and usually they will at least give you 25% off, thats what he was going to do, and before the conversation was over I was getting 75% off. Did I mention I used to work in sales...
I laughed when you wrote you didn't know if you had replied to any of my posts because I was sure that was a jab- BECAUSE I HAVEN'T WRITTEN BACK! LOL! TSK TSK Shame on me... but I found it funny, even if you didn't mean it that way... thats my kinda humor.
Oh and regarding the tea, one tea that I LOVE and REALLY REALLY relaxes me and calms me down ( and helped when I was going insane and out of xanax and helped with sleep) is Calm tea from Starbucks. I boil water and let it steep for 5 minutes and add some splenda (or stevia in your case) and a dash or milk- and oh la la- it is like a treat, and really relaxing. and I used to add the sugar free vanilla we had at SBUX into it- NOW THAT IS REALLY REALLY GOOD! I don't think it is made with splenda- but a pump won't hurt- but I'm sure you can find some made with sucralose and the vanilla in the calm tea or even the chai tea is sooooo good. Now the chai tea ( tea bags of course NOT the latte) has a lot of caffeine- good if you really need a pick me up, but it comes in decaf too. Like I said, I know alot about starbucks because I worked there for a long time. In fact when you used the word cathartic- it made me think of working the espresso bar at SBUX because I always said it was cathartic- again another word most people generally don't use!!
Sinatra- great music! I need to down load some of it on ITunes, makes me think of Mel Gibson in What Women Want! I love that movie- hee. And I love music, it always puts me in a good mood, my mom comes from a very music filled home and I think it runs in my blood.
Good for your boyfriend!! WOOT! 5 POUNDS!! GO HIM- GO HIM- DANCE PARTY DANCE PARTY! And he is already so close to his goal, he should be excited! I better not hear anymore reports about him giving you a hard time with complaining- or I'm going to have to fly up there and kick his butt in line with some Muay Thai! Ha!
That is seriously awesome though congratulate him for me, Is he happy about it? Or was he hoping for more?
You kill me with the "glove" thing!! LOL! Thats awesome you were proactive and acutually bought something to protect yourself... AND YOU ACTUALLY USE IT! Ya see... I do the same thing... well I usually hurry or get distracted and have a casualty ... one of my fingers which I wrap in a paper towel and keep going ( A real nurse in the making.. lol) and say I'll curl my finger under the next time (which I never do!) And I could see my mom watching HSN or QVC and seeing that glove youre talking about and buying it for me... and the next time I would be chopping- totally forgetting about it and chopping my fingers again! LOL!! My ADHD is pretty bad... but I'm working on it!! I am - I swear!!
Okay well, I am about to write back to the post you wrote centuries ago, but I wanted to write back to this one first because it was fresh on my mind and funny! Thank God I have a little more energy to do this tonight!
