Half-baked

Okay - so I snorted out loud at work while reading Dan's latest entry on his crazy kitties.  Which was a great way to start out a Monday morning since law firms DO NOT celebrate Columbus Day.  When I informed one of the lawyer men that many other businesses were closed today to observe the wonderful accident of Columbus reaching the shores of America - he said "Oh, well, I guess they have to be closed since the stock exchange is closed." 

I bit my tongue.  I really wanted to say "Well, we're a law office and the court houses are closed today." But since I kinda need my job - I decided not to pick a fight with someone whose name is written in pretty gold letters above my head - which is forboding enough as it is...

Next weekend, Harry and I are traveling to the wonderful city of Columbus Ohio where we will have much fun picking out a plain black bridesmaid dress for me to wear in Stacey's wedding.  I am very happy with her choice of matching coats and different dresses - what I am not looking forward to is the trying on of dress after dress in double-digits that makes my innards cringe - and crave comfort food - tis' a vicious cycle!  

Keeping this in mind, I woke up early on Sunday (after futile attempts to snuggle with hubby who preferred to keep his distance by snoring/hovering on the edge of our king-sized bed to prevent my snuggles from reaching his sleeping body) and walked on my treadmill while watching Alton Brown episodes.  I then swore off carbs until the wedding on November 11th.  Which lasted just long enough for me to make a DiGiorno's pizza for lunch. 

Will power - I think I lack it.  Or else it was replaced with something much more useful, like the ability to separate laundry with a flourish, or the knack of always spilling food on me when I eat - bullseye on the breasts! 

Wait a sec. I think I want a refund...
