I got released from jury duty at last.
(Yay)
Did you get to go home, or did you have to go back to work today?
I walked to the local pizza joint for lunch (caught a ponyta and pidgey and zubat and drowsee on the way) and they forgot my order. When everyone else cleared out and I was sitting alone, foodless, I asked. They apologized and hustled pizza out for me - yum - then 10 minutes later brought out a basket of fried dough! o_O Never had it before. I was full of pizza and took it back to the apartment for everyone.
Noms.

I didn't get into the jury box until after 3:00. So, no.
And... You had never had fried dough before?

Nope. Is it a thing?

Way to own the day Monkey!
I survived driving 8hours (Driving time) BACK and going to load in a show at midnight. Then returning the next morning, (with a migraine), ended up staying most of the day to help with tech problems with THEIR equipment (because I'm Too. Darn. Nice.) drove 8 hours TODAY to go back to Huntsville (Kids in space Camp) through torrential storms, while wife typed my narrated texts and relayed my phone calls dealing with things that kept popping up at work. >_<
(WHY/HOW am I driving in another state and STILL taking care of work?!? Because:
A) I am Awesome,
B) I am an idiot,
C) I am Too Darn. Nice.
D) All of the above) ;P
I am SO sleeping in tomorrow. ;)

An oh-so-delicious carnival heart-clogging thing
Tell me you've tried funnel cakes.

The only really effective weight loss I have had in middle age is six months of extreme stress as my marriage tanked. I can't say I recommend it. I'll take fat and happy any day.
Though I do have to admit that having to log all of my intake really keeps my hand out of the cookie jar. I'm down roughly six pounds since I started tracking it two weeks ago. Which isn't bad.

I solve that problem by not having a cookie jar.

In America junk food is everywhere. We're one of the few countries where chronic obesity is a problem of the poverty-stricken. It is customary when someone has a birthday to bring in a cake to work for them. Multiply this out by 50 employees and you can see how that might go. Plus the amateur chefs bringing their experiments into work to let people enjoy them. Heck, the vending machine guy leaves snack packets he can't fit in the machines for us to have. I could literally eat for free most days if I was willing to eat crap.

Sounds like some of my sessions... A pile of potato chips, a pile of cookies, a pile of something else...
There was some progress by having dip sauces and some non-chips to have to dip in them (like slices of cucumber) but chips are staying strong...
with my every-friday-group we managed to NOT it chips anymore but with my roughly-every-eights-saturday-group the amount of Chips, Gummibärchen, cookies etc. is terrible, one players brings apples to battle it but just adding fruits on top of to much sweets does not solve the problem really

Hi aeglos!
Yeah he sounded good. Just was going through a lot of busyness at work.
