hangover city: population 2

Sistah #1 and I are STRUGGLING today....it was a great night and I would say it was definitely worth the morning after. 

Here's what happened with my costume in chronological order:
1) my mother's sewing machine had a broken part so I had to order it and PRAY the part would come in time.
2) When it looked like that was not going to happen Sistah #1's VERY generous friend lent us her machine.
3)That machine lacked a part as well.
4)I begin to hand sew my costume.
5)The part to the original machine arrived on thursday afternoon.
6)The machine still won't work.
7)I end up sewing the entire thing by hand. 


My mother is so proud. Here's the end result of the Yummy Mummy (cleverly name by Sistah #1):

made carrot cake tonight. Awesome you say? You betcha!

None of you participated in last post's game so therefore you will never get another chance to play one. Congratulations on seven of you, you've ruined it for everyone!

In other news, my gallbladder needs to be taken out. It's basically turned into a big hackey sack full of stones. 
GROSSED OUT YET????????????
Anyway, this new development has been super frustrating in my eating life. As you all know, I have been trying to cut down on the crappier foods and lose the lb's and blah blah blah. Well, this new diet has me eating NO FAT WHATSOEVER! Not even the good kind, like avocado. I'm going to miss that little guy's presence in my life. RIP Avocado. The most frustrating thing of all though is that I can't find any good snacks. Pretzels? Nope. Rice quakes? Not even close to being an option. It's tough I tell ya, real tough. 
Other things that are going on: Jonpaiz ran away to California. I miss him dearly. It really sucks having one of your best friends literally on the other side of the country. I am single again, which is neither here nor there. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd I guess that's all that is new today.
