The Battle for Control

I hate cholesterol.
I am beginning to hate Cheerios, too. Right now I want a French dip with a side salad. But I am eating cheerios.

I hate cheerios.

And shit! I cannot think of one thing to make for dinner. Except maybe oatmeal.

Looks like chicken and brown rice with veggies.

I still hate my cheerios.

I have high cholesterol?!?!?!

But I am only 27!

So, I got the letter from my doctor. It said I have to avoid egg yokes, dairy and red meat.

Steak shouldn’t be hard, but pork is my favorite! NO FAIR!
Egg yokes? Do you realize how many things they put egg yokes in? Pasta, just to name one! This means I can’t even eat lemon bars, omelets, eggs benedict, hollandaise, and a lot of other foods I love.

And dairy? Are you kidding me? Dairy? Cheese? Cottage cheese? Butter? Yogurt? Ice cream? Sour cream? DID I MENTION CHEESE????

I am in hell.

The soundtrack in my head

Well, right now I am singing to myself
“……… Start spreadin’ the news. I’m leavin’ today! I’m gonn-a be a part of it, New York, New York………”

And then it flips to
“….. New York, New York, it’s a wonderful town. The Bronx is up and the battery’s
down. People travel in a hole in the ground…..”

To
“…. N –Y-C! just got here this morning! 3 bucks, 2 bags, one me!
N-Y-C! I give you fair warning! You’re big, you’re bold! Too late! I’m sold! On good old N-Y-C...”

To (the big finale)

“….. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow! You’re only a daaaaaaay aaaaaaaa
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!....”

Can you tell I am just a wee bit excited???

I will see you tomorrow, Meegan!!!!!! (Let’s hope my luggage does, too.)

What is that smell?

Weird beard smells putrid today! This is the first time I have ever been in an enclosed space with him. It wasn’t BO. It was a combo of the smell of his breath and the rank of dirty sweaty frat house sheets that haven’t been changed in months! Ugh, I bet that was coming from his shirt! I bet he doesn’t wash it! It was like millions of dead skin cells rotting on cotton!

Gross, it was so sour, that I can still taste it in the back of my mouth where my nose meets my tongue.

Seriously, do not be surprised if I get sick.

Time to clock back in.

Sorry it has been so long guys! Mostly, this blog started as an extra way to communicate with my friend Meegan, (not that I don’t love all my new blog friends, too). Well, Meegan was in town, and when she is over at my home, or I am camped out at her parents, blogging falls to the wayside.

Don’t worry, I am here! Christmas was fine, and I received gifts to help me with my upcoming trip to NYC: spending $$$ and a new digital camera. (Yes, Lisa, this means you will finally see pics of my home).

Eva (my future legal council) was here with her boyfriend, Sam. They came up from San Diego to spend the holiday with her family. Wild times were had at the local beer hall.

I had been so tired from all the running around that I didn’t even stay up to ring in the New Year. Chris and I hit the sack at about 11 PM. (Meegan and I are notorious for having lame New Year’s Eves) Well, the motor heads that live behind us were kind enough to light off some cherry bombs and other fireworks to wake my ass up right at midnight. It was nice, though. All in one room was my family: Chris, Porkchop and Maggie (husband, cat and dog, respectively). I knew then how lucky I was and what a great year it would be.

Then next morning, Angie moved out of our guest room and into her new rental house. It is very cute and will be perfect for her and her dog, Romeo. There is a large backyard where she will be building him an agility course. The exercise will do him good.

As you can see, not much to say. I am thrilled my radio host is back from HOLIDAY vacation. I am sure she will have something that sets me off soon, as I hear that a certain lobbyist (Abramoff) has entered into a plea bargain. Hahahahah! I hope he sings like a bird!!! Rat on all his dirty little republican friends. Not that he has much of a role model. I mean, if the president can break the law, why can’t a little lobbyist? Just a thought to ponder.

Hope you all had a great holiday season! Tell me how it went!
