Day 8 of vacation. I am out of sugar free whipped cream. This is almost catastrophic. What am I to do. I want pudding but it just isn't the same without whipped cream. Hmmm guess I need to go to the store. Nahhhhh not tonight tomorrow is another day, I will figure something else out for tonight. (In arizona you don't want to leave the house because it is too hot outside, in washington you don't want to leave the house because it is too cold outside. Just can't win....)
Took a nice relaxing hot bath today. I love my parents bathtub it is old school but awesome. Took my book and just let the hot water warm my fingers and ice cold toes. Sometimes this is the only way to heat myself on the inside. Afterwards I was warm and relaxed and HUNGRY. I was about to start making dinner when my mom suggested my dad and I go get dinner. Small towns equal restraunts with small menus. Not always a great place to go when you are trying to be food conscious. Fortunately for me we had been here before and so I knew the menu. I had a great salad which was nice and filling.
When we got home my mom and sister were both there. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the smell of popcorn! Curses....someone (my sister) was going to consume popcorn. It was like a bug zapper light. I followed the smell to the kitchen I couldn't help it. I watched her toss it with parmesan cheese and white cheddar popcorn flavoring. I smelled it mixing with the butter on the popcorn. I just wanted to grab the bowl from her and run away and eat it all. I had to leave the room. Mind you there isn't a lot places to go in my parents house (it is pretty small). So I sat on the couch, well what do you know my sister sat next to me on the couch with that darn bowl of popcorn. So what did I do, I stared at her. Yep, I watched her eat bite after buttery bite of cheesy, buttery popcorn. I told her I hoped she didn't mind me staring at her becuase even if she did I didn't care. That is what she gets for eating it in front of me. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and I really did grab the bowl from her. Noooooo, I did not eat any instead I just smelled it. I took long deep breaths.
You know what?!? I wonder if I can bottle that scent and make a perfume out of it...that is such a genius idea I should check into it. She grabbed the bowl back (it was empty anyway) and took it into the kitchen way out of my reach. I sat on the couch pouting for a long time. I then started thinking about what my first meal would be when I am able to eat normally again. I have decided that I am going to have a piece of fried chicken and a little bit of mashed potatoes and then a whole bowl of popcorn. Who would have thought huh? I won't dwell on that now because that meal is way to far off....but it will come someday!
Love Angela
