| 12:13p | Weekend update= drinking, consumerism, best bra ever, detox questions??? Ok, so I officially suck. Yesterday? No, Saturday, D and I went to the mall. We go to the mall maybe three or four times a year because it is a crowded, annoying, exhausting experience. It's all about online shopping. Anyhow, every so often, we brave the crowds to buoy the economy. I know I said I wouldn't buy myself anything else, but.... I went to Victoria's Secret. EEEP! They always have those cute undies, 5 for $25, so..I bought them. Then I bought a Secret Embrace bra, and OMG. It's the.best.bra.EVER. If I were rich, I would replace every bra I own with these. It's so comfortable that it feels like you're not even wearing a bra, and it makes my boobs look AMAZING, which is an incredible feat because I am modestly endowed. Anways, wow. I am now in love with my boobs. Buy this bra. Buy ten of these bras. Then I bought myself something hot because I wanted to. Then we went to the shoe store, and I bought myself some cute Diesel sneakers and a pair of new running shoes because it's been like two years since I bought new running shoes. I am hoping these shoes will inspire me to run because they were expensive. Not great I know, but all stuff I needed...sort of. Then we went to Macy's, and I used my gift card to buy a new lightweight blanket for summer because our down blanket was killing us because it was so damn hot, and I got a new pan with the little searing ridges on it because I think meat somehow tastes better when it has sear marks on it. I don't know why, but it's true! Selfless, right? Using my gift card on practical house stuff? Validate me? I didn't buy ANY clothes. It was amazing. Then we looked at tvs at Best Buy because our tv is on its last legs. For awhile, I'd been telling myself that there is no difference between tvs and hdtvs, mainly because I'm cheap. I don't know how long it's been since you all have been tv shopping, but ..newsflash: you can't buy regular tvs anymore. You know the kind...big, boxy, non flat, non plasma, non hd? The cheaper nonhd ones are at least semi flat, and the cheaper bigger ones are at least hd. Also, now I can no longer lie to myself now that I've seen the hd and nonhd tvs side by side. There is a readily visible difference. Now I feel like buying a non hd tv would be like buying a horse and buggy in the 1920s when it was obvious everyone was moving towards cars. Then we stopped because I couldn't take it anymore, and I was about two steps away from throwing myself into a clothing store and spending myself into a financial oblivion. Then we went home, and Mike and Bill and their dogs came over, and we had steak fajitas, which were healthy. Low carb low cal wraps, fat free sour cream, low fat cheese, tons of veggies. I'm so predictable. The doggies had doggie play time. Then the four of us split two bottles of wine and most of a bottle of vodka, some stuff Bill gave us, and then we went to the bar for some girl's birthday. I stuck with light beer, and I didn't have that many, but obviously I didn't need much to put me over the edge and get me completely toasted. We all got drunk, and then D and I went home. I had a gravity incident on the walk back, and now my knees are bruised, which means I had to wear black tights instead of clear stockings. Awesomeness. I woke up on Sunday with a tremendous hangover, which isn't surprising as I had red wine, white wine, beer, vodka, and one shot of whiskey, all in one evening. My head was foggy and in mild pain, and my stomach was...queesy. It wasn't the worst hangover, but I wasn't exactly in optimal condition. I cancelled my hair cut because I had to put all of my efforts into recovering so I could work on my school project, which HAD to get done. So all day, I was drinking water, taking vitamins, and all that, but I have to say, it was the smoothie and the aspirin that really helped me rally. I did my part of the project. It is falling apart, but I don't care. I usually care, but I can't bring myself to care at this point. I'm beyond detached. I've gotten an A on everything I've turned in, and the semester is ending on Thursday. I should care, but I don't. Sad? So, I did that, and then we cleaned the house, and everything looks awesome! I have to admit that I love it when the house is clean. However, cleaning sucks. I wish things...were self cleaning. My allergy meds rock my socks. After that, my parents came over, and they bought dinner with them because I was too busy to cook because of school stuff. My mom bought pasta and sauce and meat over. Now... Remember like a month or two ago I decided that I may be gluten sensitive? Anyhow, after reading about it....I was like, wow! That's me! Calcium deficient, persistently iron deficient, mood issues, bloating, a host of other things, blah, blah, blah....So I cut out processed soy products (they use lots of gluten for protein), cut out pasta, and drastically reduced my wheat intake. Basically, I eat almost no wheat all day. Maybe I'll have half a mini bagel, but I eat about 80% less gluten than I used to because I used to eat bread with my breakfast, bread with my sandwhiches at lunch, soy patties, and I maybe ate wheat based things with dinner. Anyhow, I ate pasta yesterday for the first time, and my stomach has been in shambles ever since. I can't think of anything else I ate that could have caused that. I won't go into the details, but it hasn't been pretty. Which makes me think that maybe I really do have a gluten sensitivity. I feel like crap, and I want to do a cleanse/detox diet, but I don't know exactly what I want to do or how to go about it. I'm thinking lots of fruits and vegetables, no starch, no dairy, and good protein- namely fish and chicken. I don't know though...I'm not sure how to do a proper cleanse. Some say no dairy, but some say that organic yogurt is okay. Some say beans and tofu are okay; some say it's not. Most agree fish is okay. Some say no potatoes or rice or wheat of any kind. Some say no meat at all. Some say no tea, but others say that green and white teas are okay. Some say no nightshade vegetables. My point is that I don't really know what I'm doing. Help? Advice? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2:11p | Work is for suckers!
My mom claims I'm a man. HA!
Gluttony...0%. Shocking!
Okay, now I really need to pretend to get to work. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3:45p | Help. Everyone in my group is retarded. AGAIN. I'm not that smart. I'm really not. I'm fairly above average. I'm smart; don't get me wrong. It's just that I've met truly brilliant people, and I've been humbled and awed by the magnitude of their intelligence, and I'm not one of those people. Yet...I feel like I'm surrounded by fucking idiots all the time. There are five of us. One would suppose that because we all graduated college (therefore doing reasonably well on SATS and a number of classes and exams), did well on our gmats, and have progressed this far through a graduate degree program that we might be at the very least...not retarded. One would be wrong. We (read: I) came up with an outline because my colleagues were unable to fathom exactly how we should go about discussing this very simple case that we are supposed to analyze. It is not rocket science. We set up the problem and what we will discuss in our presentation. We say what happened. We say what went wrong, which is in two parts. We analyze what went wrong, why, and how it could have been better. We say where the company is now. Not exactly neurosurgery. Each section was given to a member of the group, who would write about that section. Magically enough, there are five sections for five people. Sounds easy, right? Instead everyone (but me) wrote all about everything, and now they're complaining that it is redundant and that they need to redo everything when the paper is due on Thursday. This is the simplest thing, but the fact that no one can stick to their section is making this all very difficult. The fact that everyone is too stupid to understand why things are going poorly makes this even more difficult. I am surrounded by morons. *Kills self* |
