I'm fat. I think all the constant eating might be the issue.

Michael bought me a new HD camera for xmas.  Fcking "wine".
Picked Michael up at the airport on New Year's eve.  We went for dinner and then watched a movie at his place which became "our" place the next day.  I have the majority of my clothes here now, and had my phone line moved down.
In a bid to be healthier and to try and avoid outright animal cruelty I did head out today in search of SPCA certified meat.  I found some sad looking pork.  It's funny how people care about their pet and they care about their health and they donate to the SPCA but they don't care about the hellish conditions that "farm" (there's a misnomer if ever there was one) animals have to endure before they are slaughtered and then end up on our plates... on a massive level.  Anyways, the search continues and we are going to be supplementing with a lot of quinoa and beans until I can figure it out.  And also leftover shortbread and chocolate from Christmas.
Day two of sobriety.  I bought a bottle of de-alcoholized wine.  It's actually worse than it sounds.  It said "Rieseling" on it.  I think it was a practical joke.  A very unfunny practical joke.
Cohabitation is going well.  I mean really, it's day two and we're still on holidays so the cards aren't exactly stacked against me.

  1. So... I must have missed something, but it doesn't matter. I knew you guys were moving in together, and that's good. Are you on a full blown giving up drinking all together or or you just on a detox before the race thing? I think a got a big butt for Christmas. Oh I know I got one, nothing in the closet fits, I'm giving up-------- I don't know yet, I'll let you know, but I did eat only 1/2 of a lemon fried pie. I have really good will power.

  2. Full blown quitting? No. Just drying out for a couple of weeks as I tend to drink more than one should more often than one should.
    What is a lemon fried pie? No: don't tell me! I don't need another addiction. ;)

  3. I did a little 'drying' while Jolea was here... her daddy has a rule that we/she doesn't drink while at our house, well at least not like she does at home. So it's best if we just detox for a week or so. Does us both some good. Go to allrecipes.com an search 'fried pies' it's a Southern thing. Basically a pie without a pan and deep fried. This one was filled with lemon curd. They tend to be pretty greasy. I would bet if you had one daily for a week you'd die of clogged arteries. We stopped at the Fried Pie Store on the roadtrip. When we got out of the car there was this God awful stench, I think it was the grease they were using. But that didn't stop us from getting 1/2 doz assorted. LOL would you believe that the people I work with consider me one of the healthiest people at work!!!? Facking idiots!

  4. Food, inc. You must see this documentary (streaming on Netflix, if you've got it). Also see The Cove.

    You will be ashamed to be a human but your life will change.

    Fat is relative. I am fat. You are Duder. There's a difference.

  5. My mom lent me "Food Inc" some time ago and I am afraid to watch it. As for "The Cove" no way: I would probably off myself after watching it. Just the thought of those two movies is scaring me in the right direction.
    I guess the positive out of all of this is that movies like that are getting made.

  6. Well, what do we have Einstein for? Everything in life is relative, so is body weight. Wish you luck with - what seems to be - your soon settled life.

    Happy New Year (belatedly)

    Greetings from London.
