Resistance is (NOT) Futile...

I had major munchies today at work, all I wanted was to eat carbs. I’m proud to report that I resisted, but it was only by white knuckling it.

But I’m home now and I’m so hungry! Hubby is making a stir fry (mostly veggies, chicken, and a little rice). I’m half-way watching TV while I write this. A KFC commercial just came on for crispy hot wings. I’d kill for those right now. I love both hot wings and fried chicken. You put the two together and it’s like heroin to me.

I had an issue with one of my employees overstepping his bounds today. I had to take him to task, and that was pretty stressful. Maybe that’s the source of my carb cravings.

Dinner is served…

Okay I’m back. The stir fry was good. The only thing I don’t like is that baby corn that they put in all the Asian cooking these days.
The bags of stir fry veggies from Costco are full of this weird stuff. I know it’s real corn (for a while I didn’t even believe it was real corn), but I think it tastes like crap. I’m from Iowa, I know corn, and this corn is just not natural. I always pick it out and stack it up like tiny logs on the side of my plate. Yuk. Normally hubby gets a bit offended if I don’t eat all the veggies he cooks for me, but he understands why I don’t like this so-called corn so he even told me himself to pick it out of the dish. Even Buster won’t eat it.

During dinner, I watched some of the Inauguration coverage that my husband DVR'd. I’m ready to do as our new President says (paraphrased)… pick myself up, dust myself off, and begin again the work of remaking myself.

Now I'm watching some Inaugural Ball coverage. I think Michelle Obama is a tall, fit, attractive woman, but I hate that ball gown she is wearing. It seems to poof out and accentuate all the wrong places. I think it makes her look heavier than she is. Does everyone else out there like it? Is it just me? Maybe it IS just me and my crazy, judgmental, hypercritical (formerly anorexic/bulimic) mentality. I just think with her nice figure, she could have done better.

Now I’m watching Biggest Loser. They just showed a bit of Bob’s Big Blow Up from last week, which I missed because I was working late. I'm impressed...You go, Bob! Other than that, you'll get no spoilers from me.

Anyway I’ll post this and see you all tomorrow. Happy Inaugural Day!

  1. I just found your blog and decided to follow it right away. Now I will go back and read some posts.
    I also watched Biggest Loser tonight. Hated to see Damien go.

  2. One overstepping employee can ruin my entire track of mindset and make me think of running to the ice cream machine we have at work. Instead I try to go outside for a breath of air. But DEFINITELY it is a trigger for me too!

  3. those little corns just freak me out. I pick them out whenever I see them. Seriously - how do they get them so small? It's just wrong!!

    I didn't find the dress very flattering either.

  4. I've got the BL dvr'd myself and can't wait to watch. I just loved Bob's blow out! By the way, I too am ready to pick myself up, dust myself off, and begin again the work of remaking myself...gotta love that it can apply to so many things!

  5. I love the Obama's but wasn't impressed with the white dress or her shoes for the ceremony.

    I love those little corns - just not with other vegetables... lol.
