Water, etc.

Between drinking Propel and water, I've consumed at least 6 glasses of water today. That's probably as close as I've ever gotten to drinking the prescribed eight 8 oz. servings of water per day outside of when I used to drink entire gallons of water as an athlete. Aside from the fact that I have a small bladder, I see no other downsides to this latest development. I'll be sure to keep you posted.

Also, remember how I posted a long while ago about the urgent need for Pillsbury et al to begin marketing single-serving-sized packages of cookie dough? Yeah, well, I can't even believe I forgot to tell you when I saw them, but I did! At Ralph's when I was with Matin, Matt, and Jeff Goodman. (Jeff's extra special, so I refer to him by first and last name.) I just about pissed in my pants when I saw what I TOTALLY PREDICTED! Itty, bitty packages of cookie dough - enough to make 8 whole cookies. Incredible. As a side note, it was also incredible how, during this particular grocery store visit, this lady handing out sausage samples reached out towards the whole lot of us and asked us a bit confusedly if we'd all like a sample of a tequila sunrise. Now, this might not sound hilarious to you, but it was especially hilarious to us since we had to laugh with the woman awkwardly and then allow her to correct herself (which was extremely painful to watch, as she stuttered for a good 30 seconds to get out what she originally intended to say). Talk about a Freudian slip...

I have nothing else to report today except for that fact that I saw Ashley Luth (and several other people whom I hadn't seen in a long, long while) last night. It was her 21st birthday, so Megan, Matt, Jeff, and I picked up a gigantic Snoopy birthday card at Hallmark (which Megan originally claimed was too expensive for her kind even though she was the only one among us with a real job as a high school teacher) and went on our merry way to meet up with Ashley and her other birthday party guests at El Ranchito downtown HB. We headed to Longboard's shortly thereafter and then hit up Cold Stone on our way to Ashley's house. I'll have you know that I didn't eat Cold Stone last night and that I also passed up an opportunity to eat a donut today as well as some New York-style pizza (I opted for something healthier - Life cereal and lemon yogurt). This is all very good and well because I am resolving to cut out the better part of the excessive amount of sugar I consume on a daily basis. I did this last summer and lost weight as a result of it, which just goes to show you how much effing sugar I ingest regularly. Ice cream and candy are the hard hitters, but I'm gonna try it again.

Also, it's funny how I promise to write two or three bullet points all the time and then end up writing a novel.

To end, I would just like to say that I'm really disappointed this whole blonde thing with Lindsey Lohan wasn't a day-long phase. People spend their entire lives trying to achieve a natural redheaded look, and this little lady has the audacity to dye her beautiful ruby locks blonde because she wants to be a towhead? Such a shame...
