It's 11-ish here and the Americans are all fast asleep, and the Europeans are sleeping late. I'm all by myself here......so it's time for me to start rambling.....my deep thoughts aren't funny, like Jack Handey's Deep Thoughts. (He was my husband's roommate, and in real life he's rather quiet. In real life, I'm not quiet.....so I guess we're even)
My thoughts:
- I may be the only person on the planet who is doing Atkins and has discovered that eating meat prevents weight loss.
- The myth that you shouldn't eat after a certain hour of the evening is just that- a myth. On the nights I eat dinner late, and my evening snack even later (like, 11 p.m.), I tend to drop at least a half pound the next morning.
- Exfolliating and shaving your legs right before you weigh-in doesn't really help much. Neither does plucking your eyebrows.
- Acrylic nails probably weigh 5 lbs. Which is why the scale said I started at 218. I'd just gotten a new set.
- There is no such thing as eating too many eggs.
- Iced coffee with heavy cream does not make a great replacement for a grande raspberry mocha from Starbucks. But it's the best I can do for myself. (I wonder if I'll ever have a raspberry mocha again?)
- The failure of Starbucks to create sugar-free mochas is criminal.
- I can fit into a size 14 jeans at Target, but I look fat in them.
- I prefer to fry everything in butter, but I know olive oil is better, so I use it more.
- When I really stop to think about how the thing I am tempted by tastes, really tastes......I find I don't really want it that much. It's just the IDEA of it.....and ideas are all air. The only exception is Little Debbie Zebra cakes.
- I have lost 18 lbs this summer. That's more than half of what I lost and gained back last summer and fall!
- I can walk into any store and inevitably, the things I love are the most expensive. Unless I am at the 99cent store.
- It's hard to believe this, but when I was growing up, there were no Target stores. HOW DID WE LIVE?
- Shoes are evil. We should all be barefoot all the time. Although really pretty shoes are cool. Especially really pretty shoes that are easy to take off.
- Walgreens already has christmas decorations out in the aisles. I'm just getting over Christmas from last year.
- How do Jews celebrate Christmas? We sleep late, go to a movie, and order Chinese take-out. Ask someone Jewish - I'll bet they say the same thing.....So what can I order this Christmas that is Atkins legal?
- I looked, and every religious organization in America has started a hurricane relief fund. Except the Druids. What is up with them?
- Does anyone besides me think it is sort of sick that the Humane Society of New Orleans evacuated all of their animals before the storm, but 350,000 poor people had no way to get out of town?
- I'm worried about Rita Cosby, late of Fox News and now with MSNBC. She breathes funny. Almost like she is asthmatic - gasping for breath in the middle of sentences. Anyone know what's wrong with her? It seems chronic.
- Tucker Carlson is a lot more liberal than he seemed to be when he was on Crossfire.
- I keep seeing that smiley to the right, the one with the bottle and the smiley face sucking on it........what is that supposed to be? A baby? A wino? Me with a Starbucks Raspberry Mocha? What?
- I have been dreaming about a guy I don't know and have never seen or met since, gosh, a long time. He just appears in almost every dream I have. Not a main character, just always there......for example, if the dream is me in a restaurant, he may be seated at another table. Or if I'm driving in my car, he's standing at a red light at an intersection. I wonder what it means?
Well, I have now emptied my brain. (sorta like Dumbledore removing his memories and placing them in the whatever-it-is-called in his office.)
Time for bed. See y'all in the morning.
