Ready?
It's hard to admit, which makes me think it might have been the dumbest thing I'll do today.
I bought a cookbook. "That's not so bad," you're thinking to yourself. "Get out of the house more, Nic."
But let me finish. It's the WEIGHT WATCHERS NEW COMPLETE COOKBOOK.
Uh huh. NOW what do you think?
Here's why it's stupid: I AM NOT ON WEIGHT WATCHERS. Cullen made the most brilliant observation the other day. The things that are advertised that actually WORK don't talk about how much weight you can lose. They only talk about being healthy. Am I going to do Weight Watchers? Um- NO. I don't own a scale, I will not own a scale and I am cooking for at the very least 6 people, the most is 12 people. I am NOT going to cook my stuff seperate. That's ridiculous. In fact, I just talked myself into giving it to Emily, who is doing Weight Watchers.
Here's why it was smart: It has 500 healthy recipes in it. Usually I just use allrecipes.com, or one of my other cookbooks when I need to get inspired, but it's nice to have a BIG cookbook full of ideas. So I might keep it and use it for a little while before giving it to Emily.
Either way, I know these things: I haven't boughten any salt in over a month. I haven't replenished our butter stores either. We don't have any. None. Not buying it. Next up will be creamer for the coffee. It's good that I did this. No matter what anyone says.
I also know that my straight up fruit smoothies are awesome, and awesome for us. I like that I rock at it.
I ALSO know that I fully believe that it was NOT a case of "the best man winning" when we killed and threatened the Indians and made them move. I don't believe that. I think it was sick and horrible that we did that. We suck. And I feel sad that I know people who believe differently.
Okay. It's time to go visit Centipede City. I can do this. I love throwing stuff away. CLEAN IT OUT! And I have a big ole tarantula, who is hungry, by the way, and a stupid centipede is just a stupid centipede. Hold me.
