Gimme A Taste....

I totally forgot to tell about my Taste of Chicago experience. Which should tell you how un-wonderful it was for me. I mean it was just a bunch of food stands and millions of people pushing and shoving around.

Dont get me wrong...

I luuuuurrrrvvvve me some food.

But this whole weight watchers thing I've been trying to do for oh...3 months now...is totally cramping my style.

So spending 15 dollars on 22 food tickets which I didnt use all just isnt my idea of a grand ol time.

Did I mention I dislike large crowds of people?

Not that I hate crowds...it just gets ridiculous at times.

However, I did try "fried ravioli." Which was just deep friend ravioli...

Mmmm I can feel my arteries hardening as I type this...

Anyhoo, it was fabulous. I love ravioli.

And then I had a 'taste' of peiroiges. Thats a damn hard word to spell and no I wont google it to fix it...

Fine.

Pierogies.

Rumba loves those things so I had to give the real deal a whirl. I'm a sap like that.

Also fabulous.

And then we purused the crowds for something sweet. Mmm cheesecake, ice cream and chocolate covered strawberries.

But alas, those were the longest lines. No wonder America is the fattest nation in the world.

So I didnt contribute to my own obesity by standing in line, but I did suggest Cold Stone Creamery to my friend. Sweet moses thats some good shit. My ass cant get any bigger can it?

Probably.

So we left. And didnt get to CSC because the #3 bus took for-damn-ever and we were slotted to see Pirates of the Caribbean in 20 minutes. Soooo...

Hello Johnny, you're HOT.

Other than Taste, its been a slow week.

Well maybe not. I had a group therapy presentation on Tuesday. The Southern Belle and I had to lead a group session too. Cognitive-behavioral therapy on stress management.

Go Skinner Go!! What a badass...

So that went well. Today was Brown-Eyed Girls birthday so a bunch of classmates went to the Cheesecake Factory for some kibbles and bits....and grits....

Amazing food. Holy hell...

And the cheesecake...delicious. I had the Godiva Chocolate. Mmmmmm food....

All I do is eat I swear to jeebus.

And those two strong-ass long island teas kicked me square in the liver.

So we went to career counseling (worst class of my entire schooling career---I've been in school for almost 18 years...thats pretty bad) and I had the giggles somethin fierce from the booze.

The Brown Eyed Girl said she could smell the booze...either on me or the Southern Belle.

Thats what we're here for, to drink and drink and drink....

Oh dear...at least I was amused which is all that matters. Not an easy task in that class.

And this birthday is turning into an extravaganza. She went to Grant Park after class for Summerdance--they taught Zydeco tonight.

Interesting...and then they went for Karaoke. I dont know how to spell that word either.

Fine.

Oh wait..thats actually right.

I was goin to go for karaoke but decided to stay home.

Because tomorrow is WW day and of course I'm going to either stay the same or gain again...as if I'll ever lose 5 freakin pounds.

I suck at life.

Well ok so I dont. But tomorrow is also part deux of the birthday festivities wherein we will get all lollied up and go to the Signature Room (www.signatureroom.com) for a drink and then Latin Dancing. Fantastic!!

I dont know how to latin dance.

But...I'm gonna look daaaamn sexxaay in my cocktail dress.

And if any of those latin lovers feels me up...its all over.

I'm happily attached but thanks for playing...

And if you dont like my new song....

May hellfire rain upon you...
