But there is a large animal in the woods. I can hear it stomping around a little too close to the backyard for comfort. It is most likely a deer. But it could possibly be a bear. We get black bears sometimes. They're not vicious or prone to attacking, but it's still a bear. That's 200 pounds of claws and teeth. No thanks. We get bobcats, too. They might be a fraction of the size of a bear, but those little sh*ts are vicious.
Coyotes and foxes come out at night, too. Mum yells at me for feeding the foxes.
Seriously, how can you not?
Muuuuuuuffffiiinnnnnnn.
I have horribly exceeded my liquids-only-day calories today, but I have still not consumed any solids. Yesterday was better--only had 400 cals of liquids, and burned 1200 working out.
Thanks for all the tattoo compliments! :-*
Mona, you are too kind. And even more wonderful, even if you can't always see it yourself. :D
Kazehana, vegan profiteroles are one of the holy grails of vegan cooking, but I'm going to try and make them, and then add to the difficulty by making them gluten-free. My step-nephew can't touch gluten of any kind, so I'm always trying to expand my mad skills to accommodate the food-sensitive. I shall post the recipe if I am successful.
Peri, I have begun sketching out your patch. I'm excited.
Ash, thanks for giving me the website for that peanut butter! I ordered some...
Morbid.diathesis, that is a SIN that you haven't seen Lord of the Rings!! Hope you get to rent it this weekend, so you can take part in the madness. :)
Elk, I feel your pain. Horrendous hangovers have ruined The Life of Brian, She Devil, Pokemon, Cold Mountain, and many others...
I should really try to go to sleep now. Off on a hiking adventure tomorrow, to take some gorgeous photos of the castles in the mountains, in 35mm. I might even take a roll in black & white, and there will be much tree climbing. I'm bringing rope this time, so I can properly climb the Big Tree.
Don't worry--a friend is coming with her fancy digital camera, so there will be amusing photos of me climbing said tree in HD.
I could spend the rest of my life locked in my room watching the extended editions of Lord of the Rings, and never get sick of it. I think I'm more of a hobbit than a dwarf. I know the elves were all fancy with the ears and hair and the general prettiness, but the hobbits were the best. They looked like they had the most fun, anyway.
Eomer is hot.
Ash asked for tat pics. I'm more than happy to oblige.
The screech owl is on my right shoulder. When I have enough money, I'm getting a wood thrush on the left shoulder. They're my 2 fav birds. A bird in the hand will then be worth 2 on Mich's back.
Harley Quinn:
Upper left arm. She needs some touching up, but my tattoo artist has vanished. I'm scared to use anyone else.
The spider was my first. A brown recluse. Less cliche than a black widow, but just as deadly. :D
Pixiestix014, I like your style. I love punching people.
Tracy, I hope you survived all your relatives. The Perfect ones are quite taxing. -_-
Time to share some Safe Treats!!
My old roommate and I used to live on this stuff. And they sell it in Fairway!! LOTS OF THEM!! Usually, places that sell Spirutein only have like one or two flavours, but Fairway has a huge selection. This one is my favourite, followed closely by the chocolate peanut butter. One whole scoop (pretty big scoop) is 120 cals. I use watered down almond milk ('tis too thick otherwise)--1/4 cup of the milk and 3/4 cups water, so the whole cup mixed is only 130 calories.
This stuff is 35 cals per tbsp, so I just use a teaspoon of it with my fat free half & half. It's delicious.
I'm not really sure about this one yet. The taste reminds me of something. Sort of like fizzy cake icing. It's weird. But I kinda like it. There's a warning on the box that says not to operate any machinery or drive if you have more than one can.
They're profiteroles, 35 calories each. And holy hand grenades, they're yummy.
An old favourite:
I make myself a small cup of "tea" with one cube (~17 cals). Mum doesn't even think this is strange. Apparently, Granddad used to do the same thing. And if Granddad did it, that means it's Officially OK.
I had a cup of Oxo for dinner, because I'm doing liquids only again for a few days. Sunday was a fail. Big Sis #2 came over with Munchkins. It escalated from there.
When I'm restricting a lot, my insomnia gets worse. But at the same time, I feel much more comforted and warm going to bed after a day of 400 calories, than going to bed on a full stomach. I keep myself going through the day and night by taking joy in little things--my cup of almond milk with splenda and cinnamon, coffee with pumpkin spice Coffee-Mate, the 1.00 AM cigarette, my evening hebal smokey treat... But these things do nothing for me if I've just binged. I get high on life for the few minutes it takes to stuff my face, but then the euphoria is gone and I'm left feeling fat and disgusting. And far too stuffed to really appreciate those little treats. I think I'd rather enjoy those little indulgences. I must remember that next weekend, before I go on another binge.
