Battling the Bulge

You know I didn’t think I was going to post again for a while but two things - I went with the guys for coffee today and got a sinful looking yogurt parfait, you know - Yogurt, berries and granola - I know, not exactly the greatest of health food. But I only at about a third of it. It was really good. And that was enough. I think I will eat the rest for lunch. I have some almonds and walnut for snacking and I think I will eat a few of those for protein. I had string cheese for breakfast. Not exactly the best so far, but it could be worse.

Anyhoo, this is the main reason that I am posting: Half of Me. Pasta Queen - She is totally hysterical. I never know what to expect from her but I know one thing, she has officially lost one half of her body weight using the South Beach Diet (RESPECT!!!) and she is one hell of a funny, funny girl. You have GOT to go check out the muffins that she made for her friend’s performance in the Vagina Monologues (a VERY good play, by the way - Go Eve Ensler!!!)

My friend preformed in The Vagina Monologues this weekend in addition to helping plan the event which raised thousands of dollars for the local YWCA and rape assistance program. I’m so proud of her! She also works full time, takes 15 hours of classes, and wrapped individual presents for each cast member, complete with ribbons made out of some strange substance called “wraphia” which is the inbred child of ribbon and hay. I don’t know how she does all this. Maybe she secretly has a twin sister and they’ve been pretending to be the same person for the past umpteen years I’ve known her/them.

I wanted to help her celebrate the climax of all her hard work, so I undertook some thematic baking. If you are exceedingly moral or are put off by vulgar flour-based imagery, stop reading now. And if you are exceedingly moral, why are you reading my blog anyway?
