I wrote this long, heartfelt blog yesterday and it was eaten. Poetic justice, I suppose. ANyway, I don’t really have the time this morning to go into it, so I’ll give the short version… Went to my weigh in, gained 1.4, not stressing cause I am sure it is hormone related as my boobs have grown exponentially in the last week, yet the rest of my body is shrinking, made a Smart Ones to take back and eat during the meeting, stirred it up (thank GOD) and discovered (before taking a bite–THANK GOD) there was a huge cockroach in it. The disgusting thing made me vomit, literally. So, I left immediately and then left work altogether. Weight gain + cockroach = mandatory afternoon off. I don’t know if you know this or not, but A: cockroaches are my archnemesis, and B: I keep finding insects that are alive/used to be alive before the freeze dried process in my food! So, I have been wanting to skip out on the processed, boxed, disgusting food for a while and now I have my reason/wake up call. EFFING GROSS. (sidenote: there is a lot less cursing in today’s version!) Anyway, after I left work I had to go get the 1st grader’s supplies, as his teacher just gave the list (wtf?) and I was SO frustrated because EVERYTHING was sold out. Then, the 3 yr old fell asleep on my way walking into Barnes & Noble so I had to carry him. I go in, get my Moose book for the virtual book club, and try to hightail it outta there. I get to the counter (obviously struggling with 2 books (damn that clearance rack by the checkout!), a kid, and Vivanno) and the cashier asks for my B&N card so I can save my 20%. I try to shufle around to get my wallet outta my purse, but yeah… that was a lost cause. So I say can you look me up? Apparently they can, but only be phone number. Um, that number was 2 kids, one husband, and half the country ago… I HAVE NO IDEA! So she tells me to find my card later and bring my receipt back for the 20% refund. Like I’m gonna do that! Basically, she just reminded me why I shop at AMazon (where my info is stored) or Border’s (where they have given me my rewards without the certificate when I have forgotten them, etc.). GRRRRR! Not that 5 bucks is a big deal, it was just her crummy attitude mixed with my current struggle as well as the PTSD I was suffering from the cockroach incident.

Here’s to today being a better day! I know I won’t go over my points because I am afraid to eat anything!!!
