So today was about me vs. food.
I got up this morning and realized that my food supply is getting low. That's ok, who needs fresh fruit for breakfast when there's raisins to mix in oatmeal? It was tasty.
I guess lunchtime was pretty uneventful with the food--the usual PB&J and the last of the carrots...
THEN I got hungry. I'm packing snacks for work tomorrow, but I held off my appetitie with a lollipop stashed in my bag. Luckily I hung out with Katie Ragan (who was visiting!) and Adam (who was visiting!) and Rory, and we all headed to Treat Street for ICE CREAM! The hardest part was deciding on a flavor. It was even free ice cream because I had a sticker coupon. But I finally decided on Birthday Cake. Basically ice cream-ified frosting and sprinkles. Very yummy.
Not a very eventful food story with dinner...leftover beans and rice and a new can of mixed veggies. BUT I finally got to the store with Rory, Drew, and Adam (who is still in Kzoo til tomorrow because of a strange addiction to Call of Duty...). I stocked up on fruits and veggies and got a few things to tide me over in meals until WE MOVE INTO THE HOUSE ON SATURDAY! I figured we'd go shopping this weekend, once we can fill up the fridge/cupboards. (Back to moving stuff later...)
But that wasn't the end of the adventure... The guys hadn't eaten dinner yet and they were FAMISHED. So after much discussion about where to go, we went to some Chinese restaurant. I chilled there with my glass of water while the guys ate. And ate. And ate. And then the dumb waiter decides to charge ME for a meal when he delivers the bill. WHAT?! I mean, sure, I ate Rory's baked mussel because he was too much of a chicken to eat it. But that is not worth ten bucks. No worries, after I got all worked up over it, I just approached the cashier, explained that I didn't eat, and she didn't charge me. All is good.
Get this--I get back to the apartment (where I'm staying for only three more nights!), and I have this weird craving for chips. So even though I don't typically eat chips, I just did. An individual bag of spicy nacho Doritos. Crazy, I know.
And that about sums up my battles with food for the day. Hopefully the battle is over. I would definitely say I won.
Moving on to more exciting things...SATURDAY IS MOVING DAY! Unfortunately, it's NOT tomorrow...or Friday...but Saturday around noon. It'll all work out because us Gorgons are amazing at logistical situations. But it's still extra stressful. Oh well, hopefully by Monday we'll be somewhat settled in. (Ready or not, I'm going to work on Monday, so I better be happy with my room to some extent!) I really hope Sunday is pretty chill too, because it's Allie's birthday! I love birthdays! It's just a great reason to celebrate!
Ummmmmmmm...Bronco Bash is pretty busy lately, getting ready for training next week for volunteers and zone captains and doing all kinds of random tasks. That's how it goes though, and I like busy. I don't start work until noon tomorrow, so maybe I'll sleep in...but probably not because I haven't been sleeping all that well lately. I've been waking up really early in the morning and then falling back asleep and sometimes waking up again. Maybe tonight I'll sleep nice and long--I know I'm tired because I fell asleep earlier for about 20 minutes! *Yawn!*
