    The craving is possibly related to all the starving: Random Tuesday Thoughts

    randomtuesday

    Well hello! Happy Tuesday. I'd invite you in but the cleaners cancelled and the dog crapped somewhere but I can't find it. So I guess we'll have to do this Random Thoughts thing on the porch.

    Does anybody else have an uncontrollable craving for cheese after they wake up from a nap?


    We were the lucky recipient of thunderstorms this evening as well as, apparently, a tornado warning. The report about it on the Weather Network's website said, "The thunderstorms could also produce large hail, deadly lightning, powerful winds and flooding rain."

    As opposed to the kind of lightning that will hold you down and tickle you.

    Rather than re-join Weight Watchers, I fired up my SparkPeople account, because it's FREE and the idea of paying someone to help me starve has always irked me. It gives you meal plans and workouts and cute little virtual trophies for keeping on track (or 'massaging the data' to make it SEEM like you're staying on track...cough, cough). It's actually a pretty amazing site.

    Anyway, it will also track your walking/running route, so I've decided to make another attempt at being a 'runner'. I was finding it tolerable last summer, until I screwed up my back. Today I set out for the first time this year to run around the lake. I ran half way around before I had to stop and walk, and then ran sporadically a few times after that! (Last year, I was running all the way around without stopping.)

    You know what that means, right?

    I'm above average! I can totally slack off now.


    Booze under a microscope. Pretty! NOW GET IN MAH BELLY.

    Dear makers of the "Never Out" commercial toilet paper holder,

    LIES. BLATANT LIES.

    Awkwardly yours,

    Keely


    Those last two items might be related.

    After discussion with my roomies, it has been determined that most people bring business cards to BlogHer to hand out.

    I'll be stapling mine to zombified velociraptors, FYI. You know, for that personal touch.


    Anybody know where I can get a really good deal on those? Let me know in your Random Tuesday Thoughts. Take the button so I know you're legit, mmk?

    OMG, I'm in this week!

    And yes, with the business cards. Bring AT LEAST 100.

    People bring business cards to BlogHer? Like a card about my blog? Ummmmmm.... that would be reason #587 that I'll never go to BlogHer.

    About the cheese craving? Yup!

    I hated Weight Watchers, yes, I lost weight, but I also tried to eat my children as I was so damn hungry all the time.

    I briefly contemplated attending BlogHer...one day perhaps. Enjoy! And yes, I do agree, it seems many people bring business cards.
    Glad your weather was just a warning, not an actual tornado...the watches/warning made it on my local news here...in Ontario.

    I never made it on weight watchers but Spark looks interesting!

    I'm going to check out that website when I'm done with this pregnancy. Good idea!

    I just started using Dub mobile business cards on my cell phone, no more paper and it's free, here's the link and no they do not know I'm pimping them and I'm not hooked up or compensated in any way.

    Princess Nagger will now be expecting me to bring home a zombified velociraptor. Thanks for reminding me I need to get some business cards for BlogHer. I usually just print them out myself, but I might go pro for BlogHer. Well, you know what I mean.

    SparkPeople looks interesting - I might have to delve into it a little more. I could use all the help I can get, but prefer not to pay people to help me starve either.

    I read that you ran 'sporadically' as 'spastically'. Sorry. ;)

    Nope, no cheese cravings after a nap. Cake or cookies maybe but no cheese. I guess that's why Sparkpeople could be just what I need. I hate to pay for something when I'm pretty much gonna fail anyway.

    I'd really hate to clean up after a zombified velociraptor. Just sayin'

    I actually planned ahead this week. Woot!

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterallstarme

    Do you realize how close BlogHer is? I can feel myself become more awkward and inappropriate as the date nears.

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJenni

    Instead of business cards take Moo cards. http://us.moo.com/en/ So much cooler.

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMichele

    I'm not one to ever really crave cheese. Not that I don't love it. It's just that if I'm cravin' it, it is chocolate. Great randomness, as always. :)

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBarb

    Um, no, can't say that I have. Though I usually wake up from a nap with my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth so really water is all I'm craving....

    And business cards? Really?

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterDawn

    I don't have a cheese craving after a nap either. Usually just really thirsty!!
    Love your new bent on business cards...love your delivery system!! That ought to make a big hit at Blog-Her!
    I could use a Mojito some time today!! Never thought about looking at it through a microscope! I am too busy gulping it down!
    Love your Randomness!
    Hugs

    Try Vista Print for the cards. They have some pretty good prices.

    I have a spark people account. I don't use it, but I do have it.

    Storms in our area last night. My work place was damaged. Hence, at home waiting to hear when I can go in and assess what damage there is.

    I have cheese cravings at randoim times during the day--not just after napping. Mmmm cheese.

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterVandyJ

    Lots of cheese in my refrigerator right now, actually seven, eight, no wait, nine different varieties. I going to have to do something about that, make something that requires a lot of cheese. Where's my macaroni?

    I usually wake up from naps with an extreme craving for something or another. I also do that in the middle of the night. Not sure why.

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRaven

    there's toilet paper that never runs out??? I want some..wait, is it that crappy pressed cardboard paper? I might pass..

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered Commenter♥ Kathy

    I used to walk a Dalmatian who had a nervous stomach so I carried TP around with me, to wipe the skid mark off his bottom, so the other dogs wouldn't laugh at him. This one time, I forgot the TP - so I splashed his bottom around in a puddle. Worked like a charm.

    The moral is, if you run out of TP, find a puddle.

    My newest craving is avocado sandwiches with french dressing on really really soft rolls, maybe I'll try some cheese on top - but there are so many choices!

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterThe Queen

    good luck with your cards. i bet etsy has some zombie stuff.

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBrandy

    Sorry - no cheese cravings after nappage. I'll stick with chips and an ice cold coke.

    I knew there was a reason I couldn't go to BlogHer - no business cards.
    Darn!

    But you go and represent all of us! Have a great time!

    June 22, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterThe Crazy Coxes

    Can't say I crave cheese after napping but sometimes it is uncontrollable at random times during the day.

    My Dad and my Grandma were both struck by lightening.

    I joined SparkPeople yesterday.

    That dry martini under a microscope is SWEET!
