I Want To Glue Feathers on My Fanny.

I woke up earlier than usual this morning thanks to having this in my face at the break of dawn.

Your husband gave me a cheap walk because it was raining.

She was apparently feeling very neglected. It turns out she didn’t want to play with me at all, she wanted to play with them.Since having my ladyflower exposed, ripped open, and had creatures emerge from it, not unlike Ellen Ripley, I am chopped liver. I am invisible next to the fun, cute, food dropping machines. LAME. I make THAT FOOD, BROWNIE!!!

Makes me wish I had one of these.

A much less fickle animal. This is my sister’s cat, Atticus. aka Fatticus or the Great Catticus. He’s dumb and lazy. I like that in a cat.

One more incident of neglect, Brownie and…oh who am I kidding, I wish I knew how to quit you.

Here’s a fitness question for all of you, do you know how to ice skate? I don’t. I can ice fall, ice tumble, ice nearly kill myself but I won’t swell up because I landed on ice, but I don’t skate. I want to. I want to learn because it burns nearly 600 calories an hour and all of the ice skating rinks in nyc serve booze. This might make staying upright more difficult, but I think I’ll care less? Also, I have really been looking for an excuse to break out my bedazzler and unitard and glue some feathers on my ass. I’ll look just like Kristi Yamaguchi.

I’m going to need to put the desserts down so that I can fit into the leopard print leotard complete with tail and tophat. This is hard when you’re on batch 26 of 30 batches. This is even harder when you make lemon cream cheese pound cake. Double hard when you make them into mini loaves. Mini loaves are cuter and instantly make them more delicious.

Pound cake is not healthy unless you are using them as weights. They’re not effective as weights because you’re taking bites out of it. Remember kiddos, sharing is caring.

Reminder. If you haven’t entered my drawing yet, DO EEEET!!

Welcome to the latest edition of What I Ate Wednesday, EVER. I told myself I would just lay my head down for a minute longer because the kids were asleep. This of course, meant I would sleep for another 1.5 hours in complete and total bliss. So thank you, Peas and Crayons, once again, your blog is the place to party.

I don’t know if you’ve ever figured this out, but I am stuck as far as breakfasts go. It’s the winter-I’m eating oatmeal. It’s warm and yummy, and I could make it drunk and blindfolded. (I am not often drunk and blindfolded at breakfast-I generally wait till lunch.)

As a snack, I had a few of these toffee bits. They’re soo good.

For lunch, the Captain wanted noodles. I did NOT want Chinese lo mein or spaghetti, so I looked in my fridge to see what I had on hand. I got lucky.

I made a greek pasta for me, and alio olio for the Captain. Both had feta, carrots, snap peas and garlic. Mine was tossed in a Greek Vinaigrette his was not. I’ll let you guess whose strawberry banana applesauce that was.

Dinner was fast and furious. Sushi at Bay Sushi in Bay Ridge. We had some things to do last evening, and the boys were getting hangry. The Captain declared “I WANT SUSHI” good. Healthy and quick.

Dinner started with a yuzu saketini. I don’t think there was actually any alcohol in it, but it was still tasty.

I had the BEST salad. Ok, the salad itself was “ok” but the dressing was perfect. I did like that the broccoli was steamed lightly and chilled before being placed on the salad. That was pretty boss.Dinner was full of maki. Salmon avocado, spicy salmon, something called a “Christmas Roll” (if your family is Japanese-and also Christian) and a crapton of pickled ginger. I wanted to take a photo of it uneaten, but the Captain swooped in before it even hit the table.

Possibly the worst food picture ever. Oh well. I came home to finish my chocolate covered, chocolate drizzled, sprinkle sprinkled candy canes. The Captain absconded with one. My little future felon.

All wrapped in cellophane and ready to be hung from my wrapped Christmas gifts.

By the end of the day, I was so tired, I wanted to wrap myself in cellophane until I passed out. Instead, I had some green tea and headed to bed in my fuzzy socks. Just as good, really.

 

Anyone else beyond exhausted this time of year?
Ever had a saketini?
