A FANCY WAY OF SAYING PORRIDGE

Ahhh... I almost look forward to going to work on a short week. It's much less painful to think of a three day work week instead of five day. Not a whole lot of excitement this weekend. Or at least not excitement to anyone except me probably. We watched the extended version of The Two Towers, and then watched most of the "making of" footage. It makes you want to watch the movie again... which I didn't, but watched the extended version of the first flick, (The Fellowship of the ring). The Return of the King comes out Dec 17th. Y'all have no idea how this excites me. Yeah, I know. I'm a geek.
I also had my first manicure this weekend. French manicure. Tres Chic. Also. Bought plane tickets for the trip home Christmas. The tickets are all crazy expensive. The airlines call it supply and demand. I call it price gouging. I looked at tickets four days ago and they are now 200.00 more than they were then. So, I went ahead and bought them.
The Southbeach diet. I have lost 7lbs! I can't believe it. And Saturday night, we had whole wheat tortillas with our fajitas. It was glorious. And for breakfast this morning. Steel cut oats. The oats are weird, they look like little pieces of brown rice cut in half. I used to buy steel cut oats but they never looked like this. The ones I used to get actually looked like oatmeal. These SC-oats are "Irish Style" that's a fancy way of saying porridge. I really like it. I thought about the three bears fairytale while I was eating it. Except I put spenda in mine... and I don't think they had Splenda back in the three bears days. Provided of course there was a time when bears sat at the table and ate porridge.
