The DeShazo and I had a two week challenge of no eating out....that started over two weeks ago.
We were not successful....and we blame Napoleon's.
You can read The DeShazo's thoughts about that here and of her stress eating...which I happen to agree with...only I like to eat when I'm not stressed too:)
I chose the challenge as a punishment for her choosing to make me to live without coke for two weeks.
I would just like to note that I succeeded with no coke, but have drank plenty since. I guess you can say I "stockpiled" pop from the fantastic Buy for Less sale two weeks ago, as I ended up with 16 pops total for $4.00. Even though I'm not a Pepsi brand fan, I can lower my standards for $.25 a two-liter...especially when I have a pop addiction. (For those wondering how many cake mixes I bought....I only got 14......and then this last week they had another big sale and I ended up with 40 yogurts for only $10....but not to worry...they won't be out of date until November 5th.)
The Deshazo and I have a new challenge.
We must dress up for 1 week straight at work. Yes, I know we work in a law office and you would expect that two college graduates working for an attorney would be dressed up daily.
Nope.
We actually have a bombdotcom boss who is pretty forgiving when it comes to clothing.
If you clicked on The DeShazo's blog, then you already know yoga pants happen often. I mean, they are black? Isn't black dressed up?
My favorite item of clothing to wear to work has been my faithful Adidas wind pants...but I have none that fit at the moment...and no fat jokes peeps...they are too big!
Anyway, The DeShazo and I can't quit eating crap, so we figure if we actually have to button up jeans or wear a dress that's actually halfway decent, we won't eat as much. Something about the yoga pants makes you so comfortable that you feel the need to eat junk...or Napoleon's.
Since The Boss was brought up...he is pretty cool...except for when he posts nonsense articles on my Facebook in order to cause humiliation. While I can explain why he chose a squirrel joke, I will not be able to explain what it was in retaliation for. Some things just need to stay at the Rice Law Firm.
Explanation: Once upon a time, my boss decided to post a photo on Facebook referencing my enjoyment of eating squirrel..( please note that I do NOT like squirrel).
Long ago, when I first started working at the law firm, a conversation was held about the hickness of Arkansas. (Please note that those conversations are still on-going). Anyway, I don't even remember how eating squirrel was brought up....but for reason... I stupidly admitted that my parents/brother tricked me into eating squirrel.
Now, where I'm from, this is completely common and normal...just like eating deer meat (which I love). I drew the line at squirrel. My parents/brother could not fathom why I wouldn't eat it and threw a huge fit about it. So, I was told we were having chicken and dumplings for dinner one night. After I ate a ton of it, the truth came out...the dumplings were made with squirrel meat...not chicken.....and to the boss....that totally hickified me.
I will also add that since that time, The Boss has made me inform him of how many "animals I've eaten".
(Also note that I refused squirrel my whole life...even after the dumplings that were actually quite good.)
So, this year, Martinez, LG & I will not be able to go home for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Martinez started a new job mid-year, so he only gets a week vacation and we burned three of those days to move...and another day will be used in two weeks when he has Lasik.
With that being said, my brother's family, my parents and us will be celebrating Christmas in about three weeks. We have rented some cabins at Mt. Magazine and can't wait! This was the only time all of us could get together over a weekend and it's going to be fun. We are all super pumped!!!!! LG keeps walking around saying "Unky Chad! Unky Chad"!
Photos from the weekend..
Until Next Time....
