Jul 19: Echo... echo... echo... [sniffle]

Hey man, where'd everybody go?!!!

I am lonesome. To prove it, I ate an entire box of Lucky Charms yesterday. Alas, it wasn't until I checked my Google Analytics yet again and discovered a sad little lumpy trail very close to zeroes every day that I realized, over the top antics and food contest triumphs are useless in cyberspace unless you blog about them.

Maybe y'all are just echoing my own apathy back at me. Too hot too type. Well, sure.

Anyway, I went back to JC on Saturday. My weight has zoom, zoom, zoom-a-zoomed, up to 154 pounds. You would think that would have prevented the Lucky Charms incident but you would have thought wrong. And I would have been insulted that you know me so little after a year and a half of this vicious cycling. As it happens, no harm was done since this place is emptier than a dictionary entry for "refudiate".

Come back, my people! I need you!

  2. wratha! My girl! I think everyone just blogged about refudiate (I know the Miaouw did...). Who knows, in a couple years, maybe opening a dictionary to refudiate will lead to an outpouring of words and gestures, multiple usages, etmology, and a picture of Homer Simpson.

    I'm totally bookmarking yer ass.

    Thanks for coming out!

  3. I'm here! I am - just feeling a little more down than usual and incapable of my regular witty repartee...if I had some Lucky Charms I would totally frickin' eat them, AND wash them down with a bottle of red, so there you go. Boring how-to-write-a-resume classes are about as exciting as I get these days.

    AND, I broke down and spent $8 on a pint of Hagen daz last night and opened it - AAACK - it had obviously melted at some point as it tasted of sand. Saved me from eating all but the first two bites though. Good'nuff.

    Drinks soonest!

  4. Barbie, I cannot imagine a greater disappointment than finally committing - financially, emotionally, televisionally - to the Haagen Dasz experience, only to get totally screwed by melty-frozen crystallized BULLSHIT! Oh, but, I guess that's great you didn't eat it.

    For sure, we must be to drinking. You know why I'm really pissed. By the time I whittle this extra weight gain off, it'll be the annual Family Weekend thing and... well, you know about the best laid plans and all. Then after that it's vacation. I might as well just start eating now.

    What a sad sack I am. We need to get together so I can cheer you up and you can cheer me up.

  5. This sounds eerily similar to the stuff I go through, especially the parts about the box of cereal and Family Weekends and vacations. Heck, the worst part is when you take a vacation to go to somebody else's family weekend, and then they wonder why you (me, that is... not you, personally) have such a big belly by the time you leave.

    Aaaaaaggggghhhhh!!!!!!! Maybe it was because of all the bratwurst and potato chips they gave me to snack on in the car, between one family member's house and another??? Nahhhh. And to think that I narrowly missed out on the Birthday Cake Eating Contest at the amusement park because I was busy eating lunch, of all things.

  6. Alex, look at you, buffing my stats! You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. (It's clear you have been studying family dysfunction and gastration, anyway.)

    Man, I would have been so down with a Birthday Cake eating contest! Birthday cake is one of my all-time favourite things.

    Back in the day, I used to catch a ride to family affairs in the van with my brother and his nuclear family unit. The Shrillster practiced her stellar parenting tricks by bribing the kids to shut up and keep quiet with CANDY. I would politely say no and then rather pointedly pull out my apple. Of course by the end of the day/weekend, I'd be plowing through whatever crap was on the menu, in between fetal rockings...

  7. well, refudiate IS a perfectly cromulent word, and if it embiggens the dictionary, so be it.

  8. You think you're pretty smucking fart, don't you.

  9. I just got back from a mini vacation back in my hometown of Phoenix. While I was there, I'm pretty sure I consumed my weight in Mexican food. I can't get enough of the stuff. I'm terrified to step on the scale, and would rather just remain in denial about the whole thing.

    Ugh.

    I should probably be feeling more shame about it. Heh. But Lucky Charms for dinner sound soooo good.

  10. moxie, you are so righteous for eating as much as me during your vacation! Love it. Oh and by the way, I ate a box of Lucky Charms PLUS dinner.
