Flatout Good

Yesterday morning I woke up, re-heated some coffee from the night before and hit play on my Tivo’d Ellen DeGeneres show as I got ready for work. On my way out the door the previous morning I was about to turn the TV off when I heard “and up next Justin Bieber.” Obviously, we all know my finger moved from the ‘power off’ button to ‘record’; nothing like a little bieber fever at 7AM. And you know what I discovered while getting ready? What I would look like if I were black. I caught my own reflection in my coffee.

So I thought I’d show you what I’ve been living off lately…





That’s right, flatouts slathered in Naturally More Peanut Butter. I now know where this Peanut Butter got its name from - you have some and NATURALLY WANT MORE. So yesterday I arrived at Safeway, which was a trip solely planned around the purchasing of more multigrain flatouts, only to find that they were ALL out. They were not however, all out of the Italian, Sundried Tomato, Original or White. After scanning the nutritional value of each flavor the only one that mimicked the stats of the Multigrain was the Italian. Unlike the other kinds, Italian and Multigrain have 7-8 grams of fiber and 9 grams of protein. Anyway, the moral of this story is that I went as far as to purchase the Italian Flavored flatouts and smother them with Peanut Butter. As would be expected these are not two flavors that complement one another but what was I supposed to do? Find something else to eat? Yeah, right.

Since my meals/snacks no longer have to be camera ready things have gotten random. I’m really enjoying dipping my Kashi Crackers in various Cream Cheeses. Cheese is such an anomaly for me. I do not like cheese in my Quesadillas or on my Pita Pizzas, but I do like cheese on regular pizzas. I do not like regular cream cheese but I do like flavored cream cheese. Other than the flavored cream cheese I only eat melted cheese, I hate unmelted cheese. I do however like cheese flavored chips, crispy mini’s, crispers, cheezies, etc.. Cheese is so complicated.

ANYWAY, you should really try this…

Dip THESE



In THESE little gems





There may not be anything organic or uber healthy about them but they DO taste REALLY good. You know what else is good? Cauliflower dipped in cream cheese, the strawberry or herb & garlic. Yeah, I said it.

So last night I met Mel at Moxies for dinner, which by the way really is my favorite hobby. We got there at 6:00 and left at 8:40. That's almost 3 hours. You would have thought our asses were glued to the seats. Our original meeting time was actually 5:45 but Mel was late. While I sat there waiting in the entrance I decided to pick up the sole copy of the Newspaper and in an attempt to look smart I pretended to read it. I'm glad I did because the one section that actually caught my attention was the TV Times "What's on tonight" Square. As Big Brother at 7:00 o'clock jumped off the page I called my Man and asked him to Tivo it.

Okay, so Big Brother. First of all, they did not cast anyone I can relate to therefore I imagine I will quickly lose interest. Usually like the self centered person I am I hone in on the person that reminds me of myself and root for them. Mean Blonde Girl - no, Bisexual - no, Old Cop - no, Two Silent Girls - no, Big Boobed Red Hed - double no.

Of course I always hone in on the goodlooking guys too, but whether they hold my attention or not relies on personality. Where is the cocky, funny, makes fun of everyone else guy? Neither Hayden nor Brendon have the IT factor i'm looking for here. However, I say this acknowledging the fact that it's early. Obviously, I'll keep watching. You know who my favorite Big Brother players of all time are??

SHANNON and Dr. Evil AKA WILL

So tomorrow is date night, Sushi and Twilight, and I have approximately 150 more pages of Eclipse to read before then. This movie better good. Or I may bite someone..
