Went hiking twice this weekend. I got really excited on Saturday because the woods smelled like autumn. I hope that means we'll have an early autumn, because summer seriously sucked this year. It was hot and humid (like up in the 90's hot) almost every effing day. This is god punishing us for last summer, which was lovely and cold and rainy until the last week in August, when it got a little bit hotter, and then cooled down as soon as September showed up. Best summer ever.
Look, it's a hawk eating a chipmunk!!
You can't see it properly, but it was there. He sat up on that utility pole and chowed down on the chipmunk for like 20 minutes.Then he got annoyed (perhaps because we were watching and taking photos of him) and flew away.
Tomorrow, I am off to the beach with my Little Sis, her Friend, and ..... my Mother. We shall be there, at a nice non-white-trash beach just above ... ::gag:: Seaside. (I don't know either, but I'm scared).
For those of you unfamiliar with the Jersey Shore: Seaside is to beach as double-wide is to living space.
And DO NOT believe any of the classless rubbish you see on that awful television show, Jersey Shore. Those arseholes aren't even from New Jersey!!! Those are the kinds of people that us NJ natives hate, because they come into our glorious state thinking they can just have the craic down the shore and make retards of themselves at our expense. I'm pretty sure Snookie is the missing link. And that guy with the mutant abs should have been drowned at birth.
Seriously, that show makes me want to rip my hair out and start supporting the mass extermination of idiots.
...Anyway, back to my shore trip. I am not thin enough for the beach. Since the 3-day Master Cleanse last week, I am back up to 104 and my weight will not budge, no matter how many hours I work out or how little I eat. I shall have to amp up the workouts and eat even less, as I am going to the beach again at the end of the month and I absolutely cannot be seen on Long Beach Island (LBI is to beach as mansion is to home) unless I weigh 101 lbs or less.
I also don't know how I'm going to survive 5 days alone with Mum. Little Sis and Friend will be off doing their own thing, which means Mum will be following me around like a lost puppy because she is terrified of being alone and is incapable of entertaining herself. She also has not mastered the whole idea of inner monologue, so any peace and quiet I hope to have will be shattered fairly early on. I plan on taking long, looooong walks since I'll have no treadmill. That should by me some quiet alone time.
(That spot is in Old Tappan, NJ - not a long walk, but it's lovely and quiet, and oh so pretty.)
How much weight did you lose from the master cleanse anyway?
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely sure you will make your goal by the time of your trip, which sounds like a lot of fun and really nice! These pictures are beautiful as well. And UGH I know what you mean about the weather DX I'm from the West where the air is dry, but hot, and right now I am closer to you are, and it is DISGUSTING!! People don't understand that adding humidity to 90 degree weather is the equivalent to like 120 back West. I hate this heat. I haven't left my house in days. :(
Those pics are lovely! I've seen a few mins of Jersey Shore & have no desire to see anymore of the show, lol. And I already doubted that most people in NJ are anything like those fools.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics. And sounds like...fun? Good luck! =]
ReplyDeleteYou'll hit your goal no prob :)
ReplyDeleteand I cant even begin to imagine how NJ natives view that damn show lol
I really loved this post :)
Have a fabulous week

My dad lives in Jersey, and I absolutely love the shore. I get annoyed when I tell people I used to live near the Jersey shore, because they'd ask "OMG NO FUCKING WAY?!" Yes, way, but I'm not some fucking idiot, who's fat, has black hair and deserves to be (and has been) punched. xD
ReplyDeleteI live in NY now, but I'd love to go back to Jersey. I only spent a year there. Daddy still lives there though, so I get to visit often in the summer.
that place seems really nice!
ReplyDeleteSo All I really know about Jersey Shore is what I read on the gossip blogs, being in Australia it's not too publicised here!! But yeah when you said the guy with the mutant abs- i knew who you were talking about haha
good luck for your goals!!!
love those pics

It's been disgustingly hot here, too. and SO humid. It sucks because I do horribly in the heat which means I can't really ride my horse much :/ hang in there, hope it cools down for you soon!
ReplyDeleteOh I know how you feel... I am like, 109 and I feel disgusting. I seriously can't lose weight. But, I also keep binging so that is why xD I wish I was as strong as you and could do that cleanse thing!
