...this isn't some communist day care center!

Dunkin Donuts does not provide sufficient nutritional information on their website. Their beverages, for example: you can check the nutritional info for a medium coffee with skim milk and splenda, but not for a medium coffee with cream and splenda. I'd have to check how many calories are in a small coffee with cream, and then do MATH to figure out how many calories would be in a medium coffee with cream. 


I SUCK at math.


I wanted to know how many calories are in a large cappuccino made with skim milk. Their website does not provide this information. Or any information on a cappuccino with skim instead of regular milk. So I called their customer hotline. After telling the young lady my question, I waited on hold for 6 minutes. And then: success! The lady came back and said there's 90 calories in a large cappuccino with skim milk, 45 in a small, and 72 calories in a medium.


I feel fat.


On Sunday, one of my best friends asked me if I'd gained weight. He tried to cover it up with a "you look really good! I didn't mean it in a bad way" excuse, but the damage was done. I didn't know whether to slit his throat or mine. Thank God for my mother.


She overheard Friend's comment. Mum's response: "WHAT?! She hasn't gained weight!" She sounded more offended than I felt. 


Nevertheless, it was definitely a fat weekend, so I've been working extra hard to make up for it. I made sure to excessively exercise all weekend while I was being a human calorie-vacuum; burned 800 on Saturday and 900 on Sunday. I burned 700 yesterday and today. And yesterday I only had 200 cals. Today was wasn't as good--320. Being sick helps. Just a cold, but sudafed (the proper one with the pseudoephedrine) murders my appetite. :D

As a result of posing for hours on end in cold bathwater for that painting, Elizabeth Siddal got a nasty case of pneumonia. She remained sickly until her death 10 years later.

We're walking in the air...

...and now for your holiday entertainment: Vlog #2.
It's a little more rushed than I would have liked, but Mum was literally pulling into the driveway by the time I was almost done recording. 

Tracy, I made the video public, so hopefully it works this time!
The password is: silver balls

[The music is Luigi Boccherini's minuet from his String Quartet in E Major, Op. 11, No. 5; overused in films worldwide.]
I rather enjoyed this. I might dress up like that again for the next one...
