Remember that time I started a blog, and then I never had time to keep up with it.  Well, the last three weeks have proved quite challenging, and blogging has not been my top priority.  Actually staying above water has been my main objective lately.  And it hasn’t been easy.  I’d sit here and complain about everything; unfortunately that’s boring.  So instead I’ll tell you about how much weight I’ve gained.

If I had a scale, it would be broken.  I can’t believe what life in upstate New York can do to you!  Too many lunch and dinner breaks with no where to eat except a pizza joint, fried food/burger places, Chinese, or McDonald’s.  It is slim pickings to say the least.  I also never make the time to pack a lunch.  I need to get back to that because after a day of eating out twice and then a couple beers (or G&Ts), my waist line is ever expanding.

Thinking I was going to be good and not eat out, on my most recent day off, I roasted a chicken from the farmer’s market with lemon, rosemary, and garlic, but that lasted for only two meals between Ryan and me.  It was delicious.  If only it wasn’t so short lived (the meal, not the chicken).  Finding the time to grocery shop AND cook is like finding a needle in a hay stack.  Don’t you love my over-use of clichés in this blog entry?  It makes me want to puke…or that might be the fried chicken wrap I had for lunch or the cheeseburger I had for dinner.  Ah well.

The Literary Southern Belle has asked for more pictures of Oscar, but she’ll have to deal with just getting this link until I have more time.

I hear ya on the slim pickings on food and no time to cook. (And additionally, I only have a microwave and small dorm fridge).

I have to fit in a bridesmaid's dress in August too! Yikes.

Those lobster costumes are hilarious. I have to say I totally bought the one from Target for $10 for our dog that does pet therapy. PRICELESS photo because he looks like he's thinking "REALLY? You put me in THIS?"
