You Thought It, But I Said It.

Diet Ginger Beer…. We are MFEO (Made For Each Other).

I’m sitting on my couch watching the Jon Jones/Daniel Cormier UFC fight tonight with the hubs, and I (the hubs) have found the love of my life, diet (0 calorie) ginger beer. If you’re thinking “uhhhhh?”, then eat a bag of dicks. Moscow mules are the combo of vodka, lime and ginger beer. They’re vodka tonics but with ginger to soothe the stomach and cover the vodka taste. If you use diet ginger beer, as we have tonight, they are DANGEROUS. Dangerously good and, compared to the original version, virtually calorie free.

Now, diet ginger beer is over $8.00 for a 6 pack, but well worth it. Each drink is 90 calories… a bargain at twice the price. I’m one round into the fight and hammered… a joy for all involved.

Lesson for the night – Get some monogrammed copper cups and some diet ginger beer on amazon.com and you’ll be set!

And So It Began

SO… This s my first post for this blog. I’ve started a half dozen blogs over the last 10 years, but this one is going to last. I’ve finally come up with a blog idea that has daily content. Here are the pages I’m going to be focusing on:

1. Losing My Mind AND My Fat Ass– What happens when your fat ass gains 40 pounds in 4 years? You have to go to the gym – that’s the punishment. What happens when you don’t go to the gym? You stay fat – that’s the punishment. At least that WAS the punishment. I’ve gotta lose 40 pounds, visit the page “Losing My Mind AND My Fat Ass” to follow my progress and share in the CRAZY way I’m going to reach my goal.

2. A Fatty’s Gotta Eat – What I plan on eating versus what I eat while I lose my mind and my fat ass. So, maybe you don’t care (and that’s ok) but at least it will keep the food descriptions and pics out of my Instagram/Pinterest/Twitter/Facebook feeds. Who am I kidding, my Facebook timeline – Ain’t nobody got time for Twitter.

3. You Thought It, But I Said It – Basically, I’m a “Plastic” at heart. You know, Regina George and Cady Heron in Mean Girls? I like to think I’m more Cady, but let’s face it… I’m more Regina. The phrase most notably comes from the movie “White Chicks” where Brittany Wilson says, “I just hope the Vandergeld sisters’ private jet crashes on the way there [to the Hamptons].” and her sister Tiffany replies, “Oh, my god, Brittany!” and Brittany says, “You were thinking it!” and Tiffany says… “I know, but you said it.” Now, I know White Chicks isn’t a cinematic masterpiece, but I often find myself (both intentionally and un) saying the things people are thinking, but won’t say. Why would I be any different hiding behind the anonymity of the internet? Well, I wouldn’t.

4. Stupid People Saying Stupid Shit – I work in the marketing department of a highly professional, highly regulated multi-BILLION dollar company. Numerous times a week I find myself in meetings, feverishly taking notes, jotting down the awesomely horrific things college educated people I work with say. You should check it out. It’s funny, and I should know… I barely made it through high school. Ok, I don’t know how that would qualify an, “I should know” statement, but trust me, these quotes don’t disappoint.

5. Finally, Stupid People Buying Stupid Shit – By stupid people, I mean me and by stupid shit, I mean the stuff I buy. I want to purchase a vacation home in the next 10 years. Both my husband and I work. We do really well. There is one small hurdle to and it’s that I spend way too much on stupid shit and save way too little for the vacation home of my dreams. I’m hoping by publicly shaming myself with stupid purchases, I will STOP THE INSANITY, and actually save more now for what what I want in the future.

Anywho, you’ll probably HATE this blog and that’s ok. The last FB quiz I took was “What Do People Say About You Behind Your Back” and I got, “They HATE You.” Meh, it’s not surprising… I would hate me too.
