Day 211 Dog Treats, Yep that's It.

This.Was. The. Dullest. Saturday. Ever. Today, there was nothing exciting about the food, the shopping, or the weather, it was in a word, dead. I did buy an ankle brace today, does that count? I had fried potatoes for dinner, that's about it, oh and I bought another bag of Candy corns...sigh. To top off my night, I'm going to catch up on work stuff, if only I had a hand full of confetti right now, things would be jumping!

Tomorrow is grandma day, so that should liven things up...maybe we will have pudding and then it's all over and we're back to Monday. My dog is looking at me expectantly, like I'm going to entertain her or something, she's probably thinking the same thing about me....perhaps I'll make some dog treats! We haven't made doggie treats in about seven or eight years, probably time to dig out the old milk bone shaped cookie cutters. Yep, that's it, it will make my dog happy and will give me something productive to work on.

Day 210 Candy Cornalicious

There are many reasons why today was a good day, but one stands out. Was it because I had a full day off of work to play video games with my co-workers? No. Was it because I won enough tickets to purchase disguise glasses, an eye patch, and a whoopee cushion? Nope. My day was complete, when I walked into the Wal-greens and saw before me, hope for better cooler days, I saw a whole display shelf full of candy corn! Candy corn is my absolute favorite candy and predictor of Fall and there it was for sale, for me. I bought a bag and now I am eating them...before dinner.

Today went better than I expected regarding my challenge challenge and the fact that I was in an actual restaurant, faced with a huge buffet, including dessert. I did not participate in any food other than the salad bar and I was even pretty light on that. I had lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, raisins, cheese, and dressing and I didn't even finish it. So, I am still a fast food boycott puritan if you will, in that it was free and fresh. Done and done.

Day 209 The Day Before The Day At The Salad Bar

The day is upon me, the mandatory fun day, taking place at the grand pizza Mecca of the West...Incredible Pizza. I have no choice in attending this fun filled day of go-carts and Skeet-ball so I may as well enjoy it or at least enjoy the raw veggies from the salad bar, I will eat no pizza. To make up for the non pizza eating day with my co-workers, tonight I am having pasta, a big bowl of crazy colored noodles with really good sauce and Parm-Italian cheese. Also, I'm having slushy pink lemonade, having left it in the freezer for too long, it's good, so good, and so cool. Well, I can't really eat and type at the same time, I'll be back tomorrow with tales of tickets won and restaurant food uneaten. Cheers!

Day 208 Candy Vultures

Today was a pretty good day, in spite of my face melting into my clothes at eight in the morning. I bought prizes this morning for a scavenger hunt, I planned for the kids at lunch. My entire goal of the morning hours was to keep the chocolate candy prizes from melting before they could be given out. This included rushing them from the store to my air conditioned office at break neck speed, leaving them in the cool, while I attended to an appointment across town and rushing back to transport them to the scavenger hunt sight and hiding them from prying eyes before the hunt began. Let me just say that this was only one of one thousand other things I was doing at once but, with the heat factor, one of the most important. This all went very well and the children scarfed up the candy before I could say line up you little vultures and wait your turn. I did get a Kit-Kat and a Butterfinger out of the deal, so it all worked out. Tonight I had a really fabulous salad, with lots of hullabaloo on it, and a pint of Whole fruit sorbet, yes I ate the whole thing, perfect end to my day. I have nothing further to say about this particular line of occurrences, thank you for playing.

Day 206 and 207 Dear Oven, Please Don't Feel Neglected

My mom makes the best iced tea, today in between appointments on the same highway, I stopped by her house for a little cool down. She made me a big, icy glass of tea and I must say, it got me through the rest of the sweltering silliness that is being an Okie in July. For dinner, once again I could not bring myself to cook, so I had chips and salsa again. I honestly cannot wait to start cooking again, I'm looking forward to fall soups, particularly corn chowder, yum! Yesterday was about like today, same heat, same dinner, same everything, hopefully tomorrow will be cooler, lighter, and more satisfying.

I have decided on my plan of action for the Friday work celebration, I am going to eat the salad, I will not participate in the pizza, but I will eat the lettuce and here are the reasons: 1. It's free, so I'm not breaking my rule of purchasing restaurant food. 2. Vegetables are vegetables, no cooking is needed, so no unhealthy preparation. 3. It is a work function/celebration so I am not just willy nilly eating garbage from a fast food schlep house. There you have it, take it as you will, I am still fully on board with my mission.
