Jesse, where are you staying in Vegas?
We've rented a house somewhere supposedly convenient to stuff. The key fact is that it will only be like $100/person for the three nights.
Jesse, when she wakes up and reads this, will be amused to find out that I discovered several avocados when I got home and promptly made guacamole. But that wasn't really dinner, that was food to nibble while feeding the kids. DH is picking up Indian food right now. Mmmm. Haven't had Indian food in forever.
Yay guacamole! I actually eat snacks for dinner on purpose, as a weight-maintenance strategy, because I LOVE THEM, but at some point in my youth, my mother and I figured out that our crackers and cheese before dinner were actually a meal's worth of calories. And then we were having a hardy dinner as well. Leading to the fatness, in our cases. So there you have it.
Sounds like fun, Jesse!
Who is this Perkins you are all talking about?
You guys are just weird.
Also fortuitously, I just finished watching Profit. I may need to go into Minearverse and talk about it.
Why Minearverse? Because it seems like the place to talk about it.
That sort of strategy has been really helpful to me in weight loss, too. Once you realize you don't *have* to have dinner, for me anyway, even a smallish snack is usually plenty. Lunch is when I'm more likely to feel actually hungry, so I try to have a bigger meal then and just go with my gut, so to speak, on whether I actually want dinner or am just sort of doing what you do at that time in the evening.
The last time I was home, my mother and I ate a whole thing of boursin with crackers, and then had dinner! Unnecessary!
I went to Target, and mostly got what I went in for, with the exception of four salad plates and some camping matches. Which is getting out easy, for me anyway.
There is the sweetest puppy in the dealership today. A little pit bull. Think his owner would notice if I stole him and took him home?
Timelies all!
Tonight we're going to see "Spamalot"! Yay!
Apparently they're closing the LA-area Six Flags Magic Mountain. I've never been, so it's all my fault.
Weird - I tried to post this last night before I went to bed, but my internet must have died as soon as I did! Anyhoo, the two Fox pilots we watched after dinner did not live up to the standard set earlier by NBC.
Justice (Victor Garber, expensive lawyers) was like watching all of the news I actively avoid during a big media court case ALL AT ONCE. They've also ripped off House's casting, giving us Cranky Old Team Leader, Good-Looking Young White Guy, Girl, and Black Guy, but it's directed in this weirdly slick style with lots of handheld zooms and overlit courtroom sets, and just isn't fun to watch on any level. Poor Garber.
Standoff (Gina Torres, hostage negotiators), was even worse. At least Justice has a kind of originality to it in terms of the visual style, even if it's not a good kind of originality. Standoff is just boring. Poor Gina.
