Dear Lord Help Me

I stopped at the store on my way home from work with full intentions to get ingredients for whole wheat penne with roasted veggies and feta. Left the store with a take and bake pepperoni pizza with included cheesy breadsticks, chocolate covered doughnuts, and moose tracks ice cream. That's it. Got to the register, and the cashier lady says "looks like sleepover food to me" I said, "Oh yes, my son is having a friend spend the night tonight".

I do not have a son, nor any children for that matter. I literally did not even skip a beat making up that lie to cover up the fact that I was going to be gorging on junk food tonight, and I felt so bad about it, I scarfed down a chocolate covered doughnut in the car. And now I just feel bad all around. Excuse while I go eat my pizza and chessy breadsticks, and wash it down with some ice cream. But don't worry, I won't eat it all by my self, my "son and his friend" will help me.

I'm a terrible person.

    .....With a very content and happy tummy!
  • LOL.

    I wish I had a better excuse for my chocolate milk, ice cream and cookies I bought other than the box of tampons that were also in the basket.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • Lmfao awesome!

  • I've gone so far as to add a greeting card, to avoid stares at my work week is over buffet. "My friend just broke up with her boyfriend, I'm trying to cheer her up,"

  • Hilarious! 
  • I've stopped making excuses or feeling ashamed when I buy that stuff. They can judge me all they want -- I'm the one who gets to enjoy alllllll of the deliciousness!

  • Well she said sleepover and it just came out. I have a real talent for making up stories on the spot that most of the time people can't tell they are not true. Been like that since I could talk. I always win at Balderdash, a super fun board game, in case you didn't know :)
  • I got a whole pound of cheese for my FI and I to split...it will probably be gone my Monday.

  • My brunch today was a southwestern chicken tornado (chicken, cheese and peppers rolled in a flour tortilla and deep fried) and a vanilla frosted doughnut with sprinkles.

    I'm now eating chips, queso blanco, and drinking moscato.

    No shame in my game.

  • We had breakfast brought in at work, so I indulged in breakfast potatoes, French toast, and baaaaacon!

    Dinner was a steak burrito chased with a Venti Hazelnut latte. Ha.

  • I ate Taco Bueno after going grocery shopping for healthy things so we can cook at home more and get back on track. Fail.
  • I hate Balderdash.  I'm so uncreative, so I suck at it.  I did get a Tim's Hot Chocolate tonight though, to sooth my sore throat (yelling at kids during a cheer competition)

  • Is this a confession thread?

    My husband took me to my favorite seafood place for lunch. I ate fried clams, fries, coleslaw, salad and bananas Foster cheesecake. I washed it down with a diet coke and talked about  joining a gym to make myself feel better. 
                       
  • I have to do a "real" grocery shop today.  All I want to do is get ice cream and stuff for nachos.

  • Whenever I get side eyed for the candy bars and pint of ice cream, I claim my sibling dumped her kids on me last minute, so we're playing the "eat plenty of junk food so mommy/daddy learns that just because auntie doesn't have kids, it doesn't mean she's got nothing to do."

    My sister lives in CA with her girls. I don't get to see them that often. My brother doesn't have kids. I have no shame.
  • Now I feel lame that my "splurging" going grocery shopping yesterday was to buy a chunk of the fancy cheese they had samples out for.  (Cranberry Chipotle Cheddar.  It was delicious.)  I do occasionally heat up a whole frozen cheese pizza for my lunch or a whole box of mac n' cheese and eat it. 
  • I bought a shit ton of Easter candy today "for my nieces"....that DH and I already broke into.
  • I sent FI out for coldstone earlier he came back with the take home size in two flavors and a pizza. Post ice cream me feels kinda bad because I rushed him off his game but you do not keep a hormonal woman away from chocolate ice cream.

  • If you're terrible then I'm worse. I didn't even tell C that I bought (and ate) three boxes of girl scout cookies.

  • I have to say, I feel really terrible when I go to the supermarket. FI and FFIL do all the grocery shopping (because they work in town during the week) so I only ever go for "fun". I always end up buying so much junk food.

    Yesterday I bought 3l of milk (which was what we actually went to get), 2 bags of chocolate eclair candy, a bag of marshmallows, a giant bag of jujubes, 2 mini bags of Jelly Tots, 2 packs of gum, 5 slabs of chocolate, 4 popsicles, 3 bottles of lemonade, 2 bottles of dandelion and burdock soda, a bottle of root beer, and a 2l Sprite... That's on top of the 4 pies, 2 quiches, 2 chocolate chip muffins, 4-pack of homemade marshmallows, and 4-pack of homemade fudge I bought at the bakery... I have a problem. Granted, the drinks and the stuff from the bakery wasn't just for me, it was lunch for the family.

    This reminds me of a customer I had a Meijer in the Fall of 2012.  I lasted 6 weeks as a cashier before my back said this wasn't a good idea.  I was still looking for a retirement job.

    So, it's 9 pm and a lady comes to my register with 2 boxes of tampons, 2 boxes of pads, and 2 huge boxes of better quality chocolates.  She looked me dead in the eye and said "I am going to start a mail order business so people can have this stuff delivered to their door monthly."  She wasn't smiling and had that PMS look on her face.  I don't really think she was kidding...
  • I'm having some girls over to watch the Oscars and eat desserts tonight. You should have seen my grocery cart yesterday: champagne, wine, cookie mix, brownie mix, cake mix, ice cream, marshmallows, chocolate chips, pudding... I'm sure the cashier was judging, but she didn't say anything :)

    @HisGirlFriday13 -- your kind of bacon! As long as it's not crispy, I'm all for it :)

    And why am I not surprised that we have the same Sbux preference? Haha
