Diet Woes

I've had my diet reduced to nothing. It's always a tough transition, but I'm so grateful after a few days or weeks because of how much better I feel and how much weight I start to lose.

(I just scarfed 3 oreos - please don't turn me into the food police)

However there is a side effect when you up the fiber intake in any diet. Flatulence. I have a big stinky loud butt. I think I may have even passed up my husband in the farting arena. Nothing SBD here (silent but deadly). I've taken to using my new talent to distact booger when she's in the middle of a power struggle with me.

No! Mama!

Yes Booger.

No! No! No!

BBBBRRRRRRAAAAPPPPPP!!!!

giggle giggle (she's all mine now!)

Karma

Thanks for all of the sweet words. I was just having a "moment" (ie. want to stand outside and scream profane words at the top of my lungs while jumping up and down).

Here's a better happier story to share.

Hubby was coming home last night and stopped at a local fast food place to get us some disgusting grub. In his ordering flubbery (because he can never remember all of the special requests I have made) he didn't pay attention to the change the worker handed him back from his $20 bill. He threw it on the seat next to him and drove off. As he was driving down the road he noticed that instead of the $3 and change there was a 5, 10 and five 1's sitting on the seat with the receipt.

Yes, the upstanding, honest thing would have been to turn around and fix it, but then again that would have been a big u-turn.

Anyway...so he thought to himself that he would get himself some good beer to enjoy his beefy barfy goodness with. As he's strolling the liquor store he notices three young girls that look vaguely familiar. It occurs to him that he JUST saw them at the Arena going to a high school hockey game. So he walks up to the counter with his beer and tells the manager.

The manager doesn't believe him! In fact, he said that he didn't even consider them "cardable". So hubby bets him his six pack of beer that they're not 21. The guy totally goes for it and walks over to check they're I.D.s. They were only 16!

So last night we feasted on free burgers and beer. Yay for our good karma.

Relationships Suck

Yes, I know that I'm being negative. But not in a place in my life where I'm not pleased with most of my relationships. They're all out of balance or changing. There are really only two connections that I have that feel solid and normal. Another is me being too judgemental or it's just time to grow apart and another is just too sad and frustrating to explain.

At what point do you decide whether or not a friendship is worth it? How long do you wait when the going gets tough to see if it gets any better? Especially if you're sure neither of you is going to change.

Then, what do you do when you've had an awful fight with someone that uncovers some horrible patterns in your relationship and when you get past the anger to extend the olive branch and start over they hand it back?

I can stand on my own two feet. I have an amazing husband who is always there if I need to lean, but I'd like to have my life back please. Life is too short and I don't want to spend it hurting.

Makes me want to move. blegh.
