Hi Lush. I have things you could do this weekend. Do you know how to decorate a wreath?

I'm not that naughty, naughty Lush (OK, I had a high school boyfriend too - just can't remember the date. ) but I take three or five of whatever I have lying around and stick them on with a hot glue gun. Don't you still have those rusty gingerbread man thingies? The wreath on my front door has pinecones, red bows with musical notes printed on them and some kind of gold wire stuff with stars attached. Can you picture it?

Christmas kind of depresses me too. Same procedure as every year. Doing well on the chocolate and cookie front though and not eating tons and tons. IF I eat chocolate, it's dark chocolate and good quality. No crap. Get this - I actually LIKE whole wheat stuff, but not exclusively. Too boring. I'm trying to get in more fruits and vegetables. Wouldn't it be great to have a cook at home who would prepare you delicious meals and snacks with only the ingredients you're allowed to eat. I just tend to eat the first thing that falls out of the fridge when I open it (must get biggger fridge) and that's usually cheese, which is my downfall.

Lushy, walking in front of the tv is BORING AS HECK, BUT it's SO boring and monotonous that you can totally tune out still catch all her cues. No concentration required whatsoever. And somehow the time goes by really fast because you know what's coming.

Yeah, me neither. Sadly I can't remember any dates of such interesting events. Well, I can usually remember my anniversary, and if not, it's inscribed on my ring... Whatever shall I do when I write my memoirs?

That would be heaven. Even if they just did the meal planning and shopping, I would probably be happy. My biggest problem, other than cheese, is that when I get inspired to cook healthy meals, I have to face the fact that nobody else around here will eat most of the things I want to use for ingredients. DD would be happy if she never saw an onion, pepper or tomato in a dish ever again. And DH would subsist on pizza and burgers with fried onions permanently (well, until the heart attack, anyway). A short-order, healthy-food cook, that's what I need.

Here's what I woke up to this morning: DD and her friend were pounding an old bag of clay and playing with her little kid pottery wheel. At least they were doing it in the kitchen. Silly girls.

Gotta go shop. I think I'll be spending the whole day shopping online.

I bought hamburger patties and stew beef yesterday. I forgot to refrigerate them til the next morning. Can I put them in cold water in the tub and they'll be ok? Seriously, I hate to throw them out but I guess I can't eat them and I can't feed them to DS. I don't want raw meat in the garbage either. Do you all get weekly pick up? It's not enough.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo
make sure you store ground beef properly. Dr. Gold says "the problem with meat is that if the meat isn't refrigerated or stored properly the bacteria can multiply so that you can get a lot of the toxins released, and then if the meat isn't cooked properly you can get sick. We have to get out of the habit of eating rare hamburger. To be safe it should not be pink at all." PEACHERS-------THROW THE EFFIN MEAT OUT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!

Eeeeeeeee!
Peachy, DON'T eat that meat.
Especially the hamburger. What a drag. I've done things like that before, like leave things in the oven or microwave overnight. Bleh. You could freeze the meat and throw it in the garbage on garbage day so the gators don't get it. That's what a friend of mine's mother used to do - froze all the chicken bones and stinky garbage and put them out just before garbage pickup. But get this: when my mother was 11 she went to summer camp and her mother sent her a ROAST CHICKEN in a care package. She kept that chicken under her bed for a week, eating bits and pieces the whole time and sharing it with her friends and no one got sick! That story really freaks me out.

Oh yeah
Forgot to say that in a futile attempt at weight loss and fitness I got up at 9 f-in' o'clock this morning and walked 3 miles with Leslie. Go me. Those 45 minutes just whizzed by today.

2. No! How creepy. I get no ads at all.
3. She must be German.
4. Not the last time I looked, but maybe they moved it?

ok. thanks. the beef is in the freezer til the garbage goes out. Maybe I'll take it to work and toss it there.

I learned that Canada has more doughnut shoppes than any other country in the universe. Timmys? Also, Bagzites eat more Kraft Mac and Cheese than any other people.

who else gets the belly? 'fess up.

Mmm...comfort food
Factoid of the Day: In Canada Kraft Mac and Cheese is known as Kraft Dinner. Really. When I was at university they used to say you were a real man if you could eat a whole box by yourself. I don't even want to think about how many boxes I downed. But I'm still a girl.

Sugar did u add anything to it? It's kind of boring. Good but needs stuff added like a lot of pepper.

Yes, they'll make a lovely bubble bath when they begin to ferment. Or, here's a good idea: go ahead and cook them and eat a little bit every day, an excellent laxative.

I don't get that ad, never have. Apparently I have all the belly I need.

Am I going to have to get a Sansone tape? It sounds much more doable than the tapes I have. Sounds like you could really get started while you're half asleep and be halfway done before you realize what you're doing.

You were probably only eating the macaroni and cheese -- the guys were eating the BOX. DH used to tell me about subsisting on cases of mac&cheese and red hot dogs. Red hotdogs, by the way, are not "red-hots", but some strange hot dogs that abound in this area that are dyed bright red. You should see the water if you boil or steam them.

Good grief, which Leslie tape do I get? There must hundreds of them.
