I Have Achieved the Impossible
Thursday, October 6, 2005 at 05:36PM
The big container of hummus I bought last week ran out at exactly the same time as my pita bread.
I KNOW! I am the amazing Jen!
The amazing Jen who just realized that in two days she is leaving for a month and all the food in the house must be eaten so that nothing goes to waste.
Do you think turkey, stuffing, scrambled eggs and salsa go together well? Because, you see, the mayonnaise confounded me and ran out before the turkey. But I still have a dozen eggs, which I like to eat with salsa.
(Which sounds nasty until you've been to a Calgary Stampede breakfast, served with large amounts of alcohol. Trust me. Go. Don't leave it until the last minute in that, "I'll go to N'Orleans for mardi gras next year." kind of way.)
Since I decided that I would 'slim' down a month ago I have eaten everything I can get my hands on - at least 10 times a day. Because is that not the law of vacation preparation?
On the other hand, once they've jammed me into my seat - I will be on my way to see T3 and Yeti - two people I absolutely adore.
Absolutely.
Adore.
Yeti may even have recovered from the torture of the endless Matt stories in June. Of which I no longer have any cause I'm over the 'hump' (so to speak).
I owe him tons for letting me babble on and to be able to talk to someone who actually knew Matt - about Matt, was probably the best thing for me. Beers for Yeti.
And I talked to someone today who knew exactly what I meant when I said lick a slug cause SHE'S DONE IT TOO! I knew I wasn't the only one! HA!
I am, however, a little afraid of what I assume to be his plans to get me back for that. What boy would not have some nefarious plan to pay me back? (A nice boy, of course. Yeti, are you here? Nice Yeti.)
And yes, I know not to lick any toads.
But, still.....
