It smells like processed noodle pack/ Alfredo instant noodles up here. It reminds me of college, but not in a good way. Yuck. I never could understand how people could eat that processed crap.
Tomorrow we have a team breakfast. There will be...bagels....and cream cheese...and doughnuts....and the fruit salad that I'm bringing. I hate these things. They're all going to yell at me and try to make me eat their empty starches! Gah! I know there will only be full fat cream cheese, and I can't be the weirdo to usurp the bagel person by bringing fat free cream cheese. Gah! So annoying. At least this time we're not making sausage and eggs as well...It could definitely be worse. I will not be able to get away with eating no starches, so I will have half of one bagel and eat most of the half, and I'll have tons of fruit salad, which will be comprised only of low cal fruits since I'm making it, and of course...coffee...
At least I dodged today's team lunch invitation, saving myself much needed calories AND money. Go me : )
My "special connection" is shorting out on me, and it's really not cool. I had the hardest time ever getting to sleep last night. The dreams did not help. I am feeling...markedly unrelaxed.
I guess I should briefly go over what I did on break since I do it so seldom. Actually, I haven't been completely on vacation since 2002 I think. Anyhow, we went to Long Island to visit D's family and go to the beach and do fun summer stuff, and we had a really good time. I hadn't been to the beach in forever, since 02 in fact...it makes me realize how much I love the beach...you Floridians have it good (aside from the Hurricanes and a few other things)! It was nice though..even though D lost his glasses at the beach. He's such a smart boy...I really don't understand why he didn't pack contacts. *Shrugs*
Our housemate still doesn't have a job. It's starting to piss me off.
Yesterday D and I went to
Saratoga Racetrack, and I basically broke even. I pretty much always do, which is pretty good considering that the house pretty much always wins, but kind of disappointing since I'm a megalomaniac and always expect or at least really, really want and hope to win. We got free t shirts, which are very ugly and very large. We go to Tshirt day every year, and so I have a large collection of very large, very new looking, very ugly Saratoga shirts.
This is the most discombobulated post ever.
While we were on the Island, (That's what the LIers (haha) call it. All people from LI are extremely fond of LI and band together. Non LIers make fun of this. Sometimes they call it Strong Island, and then they get made fun of even more. ) D's fam took us out to dinner TWICE. At one of the dinners, his fam knew the owner, and he kept giving us free food!! We said no appetizers, and he bought out a tray of fried calamari and a tray of baked clams....we said no wine, we got two bottles. We said no dessert, and he bought out an entire TRAY! Peanut butter pie, chocolate mouse, carrot cake, cheese cake, tartuffos, tiramisu, omg there was SO much dessert. I'm not even exaggerating. Then he packed a huge pizza box with pizza, calzones, cheese rolls, garlic knots, and broccoli knots. I could have died; for me it was a binge, not a binge in the classical, clinical I ate three pizzas, two bags of chips, a bag of hohos, and three cheeseburgers binge, but a binge for me. I felt horrible. I was so uncomfortable. I looked pregnant. I couldn't deal. I have determined...that I have no real gag reflex. I spent a good twenty minutes over the course of several attempts....I'm not sure if I waited too long, or if it just wasn't working or if I was just doing something wrong. Two fingers, three, all the way up to the topmost knuckles, with no real results except a really scratched up throat, a puffy face, red eyes, a messed up set of knuckles, and a feeling of excessive and unrelenting fullness. I deserved it. Hopefully this will help me to realize that I have no recourse, no free rides. I must pay.
Today's plan:
Bfast:1 ffy=100
Lunch: 2 servings of chicken=250
Dinner: Fish and salad=450
Total=800
And yes, it STILL smells liike those damned noodles!
