Too Much of a Good Thing

by Rachel on April 30, 2010

Attention, Shedders! Posting today has been canceled due to lack of hustle.

You see, after a perfect Thursday night in which I earned myself a drive-thru run (well, technically, two, but one order of fries was enough and was delicious) and then came down by eating gourmet chocolate in bed, I realized…I do not want to ruin this perfect state of gasm (food and otherwise) by staring at a computer screen all day.

Actually I’m not even sure I could do more than stare at a computer screen all day. Too many Big Macs and you find yourself feeling sluggish; too many cute McMuffins and you find yourself unable to form coherent sentences and wondering why on earth you thought you were a writer. (Also, there’s some sort of goose egg forming on the small of my back which makes sitting really uncomfortable.) It’s like you think you’re in good shape and then you go take the hardest class at the gym and get a very rude awakening the next morning and wonder if you overestimated yourself. But before you start to think I’m some sort of slacker, you know how people get into a fight and then say, “You should see the other guy”? Right, well…yes, indeed, you should. I inflicted a fair amount of bodily harm, thankyouverymuch.

Anyway, I’m taking today off from all activities that involve use of my brain. You know, you learn something new every day and today I learned that when a guy texts you he’s going to “f your brains out”…you should take this more literally. Yesterday morning I could have aced the SAT. Today, I’m not sure I remember what the colors on traffic lights mean anymore. If you have e-mailed me, I’ll respond this weekend, but I just really need a day or two to um…find my vowels. And apply Neosporin.

Oh and PS — to anyone who downloaded Gymnertainment, I just thought you should know that the “Chihuahua” apparently respected my complaints and made some changes.

Have a great weekend!

Chicken Salad: A Love Story

by Rachel on April 29, 2010

Moral of the story: Don’t be upset if a boy or an ingredient leaves you — something just as delicious will always come along!

Thanks to Iowa Girl Eats for playing matchmaker with her Greek yogurt chicken salad recipe!

Beauty Booty: Make-Up 4-Eva!

April 29, 2010

I love talking about skin care, but I am always honest when I say that my skin is pretty good. I love pampering it, but I’ll admit that I’m not the best judge of what “works.” (Don’t get jealous — my metabolism and hair is another story.) Anyway, to give a different perspective, I thought [...]

Good afternoon, ladies and gents! And happy Hump Day! For today’s Wet Wednesday, I decided to side with the popular kids and share a little RPatt love. He’s not my preference but I do love a guy in a suit — and I like that these picture tame what I consider to be an absolutely [...]

Taste Testing: Macadamia Nut Butter

mac butter

So you may remember how a few weeks ago I won a free nut butter from MaraNatha? My intention was to use it to try macadamia nut butter. It just sounded good and I’m set on all my other nut butters for the time being. So on my next trip to Whole Foods I reminded [...]

Getting It: The Terror Squad

For many people, dieting is an ongoing process. If you yo-yo diet or “try everything” this is definitely true, but even if you have to work at maintaining, you’ll probably go through a lot of trial and error. I’ve found that we all sort of go through dieting levels. It reminds me of that scale [...]

Spring Chicken Cups

Since eggs are one of the best foods ever, I eat them pretty frequently — especially considering how cheap they are. But I wanted to try a different way to eat them. I had frittata at Leah’s last weekend, so I decide to play around with that recipe a bit and see what I could [...]
