This week's Fat Tuesday post...

Just kidding!

How disappointed are you that you opened this?  LOL.

I wonder if we can get to five pages without me actually posting anything.

Re: This week's Fat Tuesday post...

  • This is just a day of disappointments. First, the Nest didn't go through its big and likely stupid change. Then, I realize that I am flucked when it comes to retirement. And now, no actual Fat Tuesday thread and you're just playing with my emotions. Fine, be like that.
  • Ice cream for everyone?

  • I discovered the WW snack sized chocolate fudge frozen bars. They're the perfect size and tasty too.

    I moved on to level 2 of the 30DS, I forgot how much I hate planks. The walk out pushups and fly squats suck, hard. My thighs still feel the burn.

    Also, I wore my hair curly again today. Not too shabby now that it's longer. Still not my old curls, but not too bad.

  • I've been eating leftover Carvel birthday cake since this weekend. Life is good.
  • I am still mad more people didn't see my dancing racoon GIF in the Celebrity Apprentice thread. Mainly because it cracks me up.

    I saw it.  I thought it was hilarious.  But I just didn't comment.  Probably because I didn't want to admit I was reading a Celebrity Apprentice thread.

  • I am unhappy that I spent the last week being really careful about my diet (with the exception of the GTG lol), counting calories like a fiend, and at the end of the week I gained a pound. Angry

    Ha!! I thought the white people didn't want to touch a "dancing ***" with a 10 foot pole.

    Well, there was that issue, too.  I mean, it was funny.  It was a raccoon.  And it was dancing.  How is that NOT funny?  Dancing squirrels are funny.  Dancing hamsters are funny.  Why wouldn't a raccoon be?  But what if laughing at the raccoon makes me a racist?  I LAUGH AT SQUIRRELS, TOO, YOU KNOW!!!

  • I'm feeling extra fat this Tuesday. Probably had something to do with the danish I just ate. At least it was delicious.

  • Good news, friends.  None of you will be getting fatter the next 7ish months, because I am eating ALL THE FOOD.  there will be no food for anyone else, as I am consuming it all.   I am hungry approximately every 45 minutes, no matter what i ate beforehand, and if I do not eat ALL THE FOOD I become nauseous.  it's awesome.  thankfully, i have stocked up at target on nuts, freeze dried fruit, yogurt, granola, and bananas so i will hopefully not be the target of many "your momma so fat" jokes.

    What do you mean by this?  I used to think that my curls would sort of be "shocked" after a cut and get flat for a few weeks and then spring back, but it's been 2 months since my haircut and they are still lame.  I'm not sure if it's age (my hair seems to be straighter now than 10 years ago) or length.

  • I want ice cream. Or a milkshake. Or both.  The only thing that stopped me from stopping at McDonald's after my doctor's appointment was that it was too early for them to have milkshakes.

     Speaking of fat, apparently I have a fat baby.  The doctor says 'that's no seven pounder, that's for sure," while looking concerned and taking belly measurements. Big babies run in my family. No, not big, HUGE babies.  And in DH's family too.   The whole pregnancy baby has been measuring normally and now all of a sudden he's huge.  (well maybe not, this was just her estimate based on what she could feel, not even based on a growth scan.)

    still.  I want the ice cream to comfort me after this news but I have a feeling it could be part of the issue. Crying

    OMG you are so close!!!! 

    I hope your dr is wrong and baby isn't too big!

    ETA my anecdote is that my OB felt and estimated SST to be 8, 8 1/2 pounds the day I went into labor. She was 6 lb 9 oz. So estimations can be wildly off.

    Not quite, but it did have fudge in it, which I had never tried before (we always got the standard Carvel cakes). OMG the fudge inside was amazing. H was a smart man and bought a bigger cake than usual too - oh happy me!

    I'm a DQ cake person myself. I've already made clear to H what I want for my birthday this summer. DQ cake, extra ants. Om nom nom.

    I will be smoking a plethora of meat this weekend so I'll clear room for rascal parking in the driveway.

    I've never had DQ cake - hell, I've never had DQ anything. I have a feeling it will not be as good as Carvel cake. Carvel cake is just the best thing in the whole wide universe and that is just the fact.

    I'm requesting a cinna-cake from the cinnamon roll place for my birthday. With smores topping. Last year they were out of marshmallows so we went with chocolate chips and bananas. *shakes fist*

    'scuse the AW-iness of this... but my curls died. Too much heat and straightening after I went super short, and straightened my hair for like a year and a half.

    My old curls:

    I hate this picture of me (below), but it's more recent than my senior pics.

    This is what I have now:

    My lame waves trying to be curls. This pic (below) was in Jan or so. So, they look a bit better but not like above.

  • Speaking of Fat Tuesday, did Jessica Simpson have her baby yet?

    Speaking of Fat Tuesday, did Jessica Simpson have her baby yet?

    According to Suri's Burn Book's twitter account (what? someone retweeted it):

    Jessica Simpson has checked into the hospital. Prepare yourselves. Or just go on about your day.

  • Smo - I currently have the same lame-ass curls.  My hair was never as curly as yours, sadly, but it's now in the half-ass wave/curl stage.  I straightened it off and on (just with a flat iron) for about 1.5  years too.  Damn it!  Maybe it will come back in another year or two since I haven't been blow drying or straightening it except for whenever I get a haircut for the past 2 years.
  • Smo, i can't get over how cute you are. (I swear if you come visit I will be less creepy in person)

    Your hair then and now is way different. Still cute, though.
