Michiganders!

And that''s cuz Michigan is verrrrryyyy unhealthy.

it''s the freezing cold...makes you want to eat comfort (aka way fattening) foods!

I slipped last night. Not my fault...IT WAS COLD!

Went out to dinner with FI (totally last minute) to a cafe in our bourgie town where we sometimes have breakfast. It''s a little upscale for eggs so we dont'' go often but it looked nice and cozy so we popped in. They had a prefix menu (apps/entree/dessert) and I just couldn''t help myself. I got a cheeseburger w/ sauteed onions

. Seriously, no lie, one of the best burgers I''ve ever had. I don''t know if it''s because I rarely eat hamburgers or what but it was sooooo good. And I had fries. And mushroom soup. And a choc lava cake.

I did drink water though...

Let''s just say, I''m just glad I skipped lunch and had a very light breakfast!

Hahahahha. I <3 you B!

I''m joining the Y today. I''ve decided. This is happening.

OMG, my friend just posted this on FB. Crazy!

At first i was totally freaked out, because I thought maybe the baby started coming out while she was doing heavy lifting.

I have NO idea why that popped into my head. My visuals are weird. It gets crazy up there.

Anyway.. it still continues to shock me when women don''t know they''re pregnant!

This is what I envisioned too. She was lifting and all of a sudden POP! Baby! Like in Austin Powers. Hahaha!

Morning all!

LOL. Morning sunnyd!

 

[Squirrly]

yup! and the women had them too. i''m pretty sure this lady''s hawk would''ve had one heck of a bedazzled collar

I''m a little angry with Starbucks today. They changed their croissants! When they took our all the artificial stuff, they removed some of the croissant goodness!

Sadness! Doesn''t it suck how artificial things can taste SO MUCH BETTER than the real, probably much better for you, thing???

Hahaha. Artificial ingredients FTW!

 

[Lauren8211]

I hate croissants. Ever since I went to Paris and was force fed croissants every day for breakfast for 10 days, I can''t tolerate them.

What's FTW?

ETA: Force-fed croissants sounds like a delicious form of torture...

Nothing better than whipped cream from a can...or a giant scoop of Cool HWHP (ala Stewy Griffin). And I don''t know if there''s anything "real" about it...there MIGHT be some cream in it. But aside from that...mmmmm...artificial....mmmmmm...

The fire alarm lights are strobing at work right now. I might have a seizure.

Oh the cream is real. A friend of my mom''s has the can they use. Basically you fill it with cream and sugar, then the pump head fluffs it into whipped cream. Soooo bad but soooo good.
