Pick A Topic, Any Topic

January 21, 2007

I have bunches to say, but nothing more than phrase or two long so I’ll just bunch them all into one random post. Fun!

*When I was little my sister and I used to go these gym nights at the gym my sister practiced her gymnastics at. (A sidenote, my sister is/was a wicked gymnast, she competed nationally and everything.) Afterwards, it was tradition to go to the local Jack In The Box and pick up some chocolate cakes. On those chocolate cakes, there is a little spot of white frosting. My dad used to tell my sister and I that it was cauliflower frosting, and being gullible, we ate ALL the way around the “cauliflower” frosting- which my dad promptly ate. I still eat all the way around it before taking that last bite on the rare occasions I get chocolate cake at Jack In The Box.

*I shouldn’t have posted about chocolate cake. I’m on a severe diet, though not as restrictive as Carly’s cleanse. I had to go to a birthday dinner for one of Derek’s relatives tonight and it was SO difficult to say no to the birthday cake and Chinese food. Ugh. I hate diets.

*I’m having a tough time with books. The problem is that there are so many on my shelves that I want to read RIGHTNOW. I have no patience. That’s probably why I’m in the middle of four books right now. I just grab whichever one is closest to my arm at the time and start reading. But, but… they all look so good! (And there’s still only a few more blank spots left on the suggested reading list. Plus, I have the reading list to read and all of those sound good, too! Just an additional note, if you’re ever curious to know about my recent or current reads, you can always hit the books link at the top of the page- it’ll lead you to my list of reads for the year and a link to the books of 2006 as well.

*I’m on the hunt for some new good blogs, but I seem to have really high standards. Funny, considering my blog seriously lacks in high-quality content and tends to run rampant with spelling and grammatical errors. Where did all the good bloggers go?

    Don’t worry I’m still here ;)

    I feel like I have NOTHING to say on my blog lately and I’m annoying myself. The other thing is that I think of stuff to say at times when it’s not convenient to think about and then I forget.

    Random note: the song on my MP3 player that just came up was “I Adore Mi Amor” by Color me Badd. Yay baby.

    Oh and I was going to say, I’ve never been to a Jack in the Box, but that cake sounds nummy. Mmm chocolate cake.

    What kind of diet are you doing?

    Yeah, what kind of diet are you doing? I’m on a fairly restricted diet, I’m losing starchy carbs and getting my carbs from veggies right now. It’s working pretty well, I can see a bit of a difference, and my pants are fitting a bit better again. Tell me what you’re doing – I love to hear about people’s dietary adventures (I know, weird) and how it works for them.

    And yeah, you shouldn’t have mentioned chocolate cake…mmm.

    And I know what you mean about ‘where have the good bloggers gone’…I know I’m definitely not feeling it lately.

    Let me know, let us all know if you come across any great blogs.

    I thought it was funny that when I started reading this, the first two items were food related. Especially since I knew about the diet. Good luck. It’s tough, but if you need encouragement, let me know. And way to go, Bex!

    Toni- I know that you guys are still there, silly. I’m just looking for additions. I’m finding lots of book blogs, but not so many good personal ones. I’m doing the South Beach diet. I’ll blog about it tomorrow.

    Megs- Yes, I know. I’m glad we got to talk today even if it wasn’t for very long- your last post had me worried!

    Bex- I’m doing the South Beach Diet and it’s going well- I’m down 4.5 lbs in 6 days. The first two weeks are rapid weight loss, then it plateaus when you add some more foods back in. It’s hard, but it’s working… like I said to Toni above, I’ll blog more about it tomorrow as well as give a link to an entire blog I’ve devoted to it.

    Queenie- Will do, will do. How is the cleanse going? And I know! I can’t stop thinking and talking about food! It’s ridiculous.
