Day 149: The Nightmare Ikea Trip

Alternate title: "The Day I Decided to Hate Ikea". Or, a happier title, "The Day I Fell in Love With Water Dogs".

• 2 slices toast, 1 scrambled egg (breakfast)
• a non-fat frozen yogurt cone, serving of hazelnut chocolate (lunch?? at Ikea)
• Cheddar-Jack Chicken sandwich, fries, 1/2 of Miles' sundae (dinner at Friendly's)

Day 147: Danielle's Graduation Party

My niece Danielle graduated from Bowdoin College last week and we celebrated tomorrow. She moves to Chicago tomorrow where she is taking part in a program similar to Teach for America, only specific to Chicago. I'll be sad to see her move so far away. Thank goodness for Facebook.

Day 146: The Day I Puked During Book Group

Luckily, we were meeting at my neighbor's house, so I was able to quietly excuse myself and throw up in my own toilet. Still, not a fun addition to the night. The problem was going to book club full and then being surrounded by lots of yummy treats. A little bite of everything ended up being too much for me.

• Raisin Bran in 1% milk (breakfast)
• San Pellegrino aranciata
  
• a few Ritz w/ cheddar, a 100 calorie mini bagel w/ cream cheese, watermelon (lunch)
• a 100 calorie pack of Hostess cupcakes, cup of milk
• 2 slices (homemade) pepperoni pizza, 1 slice of cheese pizza, water
• watermelon lemonade, iced herbal tea, s bit each of crab dip, vidalia onion pie & cheddar biscuit, a few bites caramel cake, a tiny piece of pecan pie w/ vanilla ice cream, a few bites lemon bread -- all of which lasted in my stomach for a total of 30 minutes and then evacuated with the pizza (looking at what was in my stomach all at once, is it any wonder I vomited??).
  

Day 145:The Day Charlotte was Cranky

Which is noteworthy because Charlotte is never, ever cranky. She's never really anything other than pleasant. It was a little rough for the both of us.

• Raisin Bran in 1% milk, slice of bread w/ SB & jam, water (breakfast)

Day 143: Tile and Puppy Shopping
