Random creepy things….. including my date with a burger

 Nasty little puss!!!

 

Little freaky….

 

 

This candy and me alone in one room.  NOT going to happen.  

 

Other creepy/scary things……

My Date with a burger:

I really, really enjoyed my first (notice I did say NOT last) Big Bacon Classic last night from Wendy’s.  I mean I enjoyed it so much.  I do believe this is because I was so hungry and I did not wolf it down.  I savored every bite and when I was done, I felt great.   Priming a bathroom is active work….bending, stretching.  So, we ate out (our bad!!!) but I ate without guilt and without worries.  It was heaven and it is darn right creepy I found heaven in eating that and yet I still feel good about it.    Seriously, it is like a BLT with cheese and beef (no mayo - only because I do not like it goopy and half the onions).  YUM.  David was SO shocked I loved it.  So why is this so weird for me?  I do not usually feel like I want red meat.  It just does not appeal.  Last night I ate without judgment and I feel terrific (Intuitive Eating influence).  Today I eat with more intention and move my derriere!  More veggies for me…. today I want a nice salad.  It is nice that I can go with the flow and let my intuition determine my intake.  Can I lose weight this way?  A burger a couple times a month, eating healthy and  portion-minded…. Today I feel acceptance of my body.  Have not felt this lately.   I just choose to tighten things up a bit…. I love my thighs.  I love my thighs today!  :)  

Today I paint the bathroom ‘kitten white’.  Yesterday (and lately)  I was so exhausted (for a variety of reasons, some unknown and creeping me out), get this, I let DAVID decide the bathroom color.  He chose ‘kitten white’ and I said, OK.  Hopefully this choice was not made hastily…..lol  We have been thinking about it forever and a day!!  I just could not decide.  I AM NOT PAINTING OVER IT.  Primer is NOT as thick as I think it should be I swear!  :)  Anyways, it is safe and I think we will LOVE our little spa retreat when it is finally done.  It will be done tonight I believe. 

Like I said, random and creepy……

Some freaky guy who is everywhere in my city – along the walking path sitting on the bench watching people go by and occasionally taking pictures with his big camera, once was at my work, has walked through our parking lot where we live, saw him at the Mac’s store behind our condo.  Though I usually see him in the cooler weather, I did see him that once walking with really really short shorts and pimp sunglasses.  Clearly he lives in my area.  Why is it that when you fear something or someone it is ever occurring?  Ok, I am somewhat paranoid, but it’s creepy!

 

Creepy and cool – “Don’t leave me.”  Says a woman I was caring for 2 weeks before she dies.  I feel it was a blessing that I was there with her when she finally went to a better place, but still…..maybe eerie more then creepy.

 

“GET OUT OF HERE OR I WILL…. *Falling to the floor with still that death glare* KILL YOU!” – 90 year old out-of-control client with dementia at 3AM.

 

Creepiest thing a guy ever said to a girl – “I just finished dinner and I thought it would be good dessert to gnaw on you.”   OK, I made this up.  The actual line delivered to me on my answering machine was “I just finished dinner and I thought it would be good dessert to talk to you.”   Haha…. Now which is creepiest?  Haha.. clearly I have the creepier mind.  He was  a cutey and very well behaved.

 

Creepy cool line in a movie – “I want to crack your head open and see what’s inside” (Jake Jyllenhaal in The Good Girl”).  I guess this makes me creepy for thinking this, but Jake is so cute and strange in this movie.

 

Sign that reads – “Trespassers will be eaten!”

 

When someone on a blog was asked what the meaning of life is - “Life is meaning less. You live, you learn, you get married, you had kids, you grow old, and you die. Life is meaning less.”  YIKES the cynicism of today’s youth!  lol  Anyways, tis creepy that when I have gotten into my funks, I think this way too.

RED RUM !!! - Love Jack!

 

Some creepy facts from “1001 horrible FACTS: A yukkopedia of gross truths about everything” by Anne Rooney

 

In the 1800s, it was common to mix ground bones into flour to make it go further.  (My thought is – animal bones? – how is this different then gelatin capsules or Jello?  Or was it not animal bones? YIKES.)

 

Honey is bee vomit.  Bees drink nectar from flowers which they turn into honey before sicking it back up to store in the hive.  (To all vegans or anyone ones who does not eat honey, Yah for you.   I guess it is the bees who might be laughing at us….hehe.  I love honey!)

 

There is a cheese called cabrales and when it is ‘con gusano’ it means it is crawling with maggots.  YUCKO!

 

In 1971, a man found the head of a mouse in a bar of chocolate.  (Poor mouse!  What a way to die. You just know there is a scary ghost mouse flying around torturing some chocolate factory employees!)

 

Marmite, an English spread for toast, is made with left-over yeasty sludge from brewing beer. Grief!

 

Yeast is tiny fungi (mould), present in bread, bear and wine.  The yeast eat sugar in the ingredients, making the gas which forms the bubbles in beer, wine and the holes in bread.

 

The Aztec dish tiacatalalli was a stew made from corn and human beings.  -all righty then!

 

Shiokara is Japanese dish made by fermenting squid in old fish guts.  (I love sushi, but me thinks this is not for me!)

 

And may you have no creepy crawlies in your meals today!  ;) Hehe.

 

And I must not forget Dru!

Drusilla:  ”I met an old man.  Didn’t like him.  He got stuck in my teeth.  But then the Moon started whispering to me… All sorts of dreadful things.”  (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer)  - I love Drusilla.  She’s a vampire character and is drop dead gorgeous and oh so hilarious, but the words she speaks can be deadly creepy.

 

Spike is not so bad himself ;)  (Note: Spike is the opposite of creepy…hehe.  My opinion.)

All things creepy can appear beautiful and all things beautiful can be creepy, disguised.  

And though it is early, Happy Halloween !!!

 P.S.: Apparently Buddyslim is creepy too because it placed this blog second after my last blog post on my homepage.  Gremlins I tell ya!

    Methinks you have been bitten by the Halloween bug my dear. LOL Now I want to see The Shining … once again. LOL

    I love that you are learning to enjoy things you don’t normally eat (burger), and I think maybe your body, specifically your muscles, was craving the red meat from all the physical work you’ve been doing. I wanna see pics by the way…

    Still trying to climb out of my own funk, but at least I’m trying. Reading your little Halloween blog put the first tiny smile on my face this day. Thank you for the entertainment.

    Huggggggggggggs,

    Okay, not eating honey anymore….gross…can’t wait to tell the grandkids “kids, want some bee vomit no your french toast?” They’ll like that.

    Isn’t it wonderful to just sometimes just sit down and truly enjoy something you’re eating and savor every little bite and not fret about it then or later…I have hungry days and not so hungry days and I honor them.

    Have a great week Jen.

    Oh, my honey is dressing up as a woman again this year for Halloween which is on one of his bowling nite (yes, bowling in drag on an all men’s league), I’m going to post pics (it ain’t a pretty site)

    You may actually get me to enjoy Halloween, Not into it this year so far. But this made me smile.
    Hey if the only times you eat that burger is once or twice a month, that is not bad at all.
    Hope your painting turns out the way you want.
    Love the pics! Hugs, Kama

    Ok Jenn, as my friend, I have to tell you, your blog was CREEPY, but oh, so enjoyable!! Did you read the blog I wrote in your honor a few days ago? Don’t bother reading it, it wasn’t that big a deal, basically I wrote about trying out Yoga and thinking of you while I was in the class!! Now, I’m off to get a burger ’cause you just made it sound yummy! Love ya!

    My vampire girl in the show was Darla, especially pregnant Darla. I loved when she kicked Angel and everyone else’s butts!

    CREEEPPYYY blog my dear. Crawling things are everywhere… they want to be eaten or they would it me!

    Glad you enjoyed the burger. Restrictions are so mental sometimes. Freedom is priceless even with french fries. LOL
