@jellyworms your comment box doesn't appear on your blog for me :(
Yes the toothpaste is cool.
@Peri I'm probably gonna start on a castle on the same mountain my floaty house is on now. I started a castle floating over the lake down below but eehhhh... tho it did let me see a squid for the first time. But it's hard to see from a distance. I'm still using my floaty house as my reference landmark.
Wow it is hot today. I'm all lethargic. And hungry. Too much pigging out over the past several days...or weeks even ugh. I wanted to be 145 by now. Skinny people are more comfortable in heat. Even in my cats it's obvious. My tiny skinny cat is still as boisterous as ever but my bigger cats are all stretched out on the floor trying to avoid heat stroke. Ugh and it's only around 90 today...what will I do when the 100+ days arrive?
Well this is what I get for still being fat.
My bento arrived! Well bento box I should say. And ofc Mom had a look at it too and it's niiiiice. And it came with a spork! ^_^
Hungryyyyy.... too hot for hot food! Not much food here anyway. There's veggies but they'd be hot ungh... could make myself a cold protein shake. Or nap. Or possibly both. What is it about heat that makes peeps so sleepy? Like even my thoughts are slow and I forget things easy.
Had a sinle bowl of special k w 2% milk...and one of my joint drink mixes. Early this morning I had a packet of coconut m&ms that I found upstairs. Chocolate melts quickly upstairs now. Eeeeeks. Hope I got all the chocolate down...finally. grr I keep finding more!
I should get on computer and do mspaint hair experiments. I can get the ringlets Peri talked about. But it takes a fuckton of work. My hair is slightly wavy so it does hold a curl for a little bit but getting the curls the right size and direction (and then to stay there) is um...difficult. I actually used the spraycan brush because I thought it would best reflect the frizzy wisps my hair tends to take. The flyaway tangles. Huh maybe spraycan frizzy makes people think of tight curly hair frizzing. Oops. Maybe several pencil lines would better show the babyfine wispy tangley quality.
Ungh this hot still at 6pm? Oh thos bodes well.
Good news is it makes me better about drinking. Past few days, even tho I pig out at home, I've still been averaging 50oz daily of water or a very low calorie drink mix, usually the 10cal joint mix. I do need to get back on my protein shakes tho.
Oh fuck I just realized...bet the powerbars and atkins bars are getting melty up there. Fuuuuuck.
Clearly my summerproofing is not done.
And where the hell are my big straw hats and oversized shirts? Need to keep mmy pale skin out of the sun. But coats are not comfy. I got these mens buttonups that are treated with Rit Sun Guard...somewhere. yes I am solarphobic. I watched my paternal grandmother die of melanoma and I've been solarphobic ever since I found out what killed her. I haven't been in direct sunlight for more that 2 minutes since I was 17, and I'm not saying how long ago that was!
Ok I gotta pee AGAIN then I'll make myself a cold protein shake mmmm nomnom
Mom's talking about hot dogs for dinner. If I'm less hungry hopefully I'll eat less. Ofc she's also talking chilisauce. If it's spicy I'll be eating even less. But she does get whole wheat buns. There's no white bread in this house. We both agree it's bad for diabetics and neither of us really likes the taste anyway.

Food review!
Or...edible item review anyway... not all of my items are technically food this time around.
My first 2 thinkgeek orders are here and I've dug into both.
So I'll be looking at the caffeine mints, cupcake toothpaste, cupcake fizzy tabs and astronaut ice cream. My Buzz Bites caffeine chocolate chews also arrived and I'll probably try them tomorrow since I close at work tonight and I need to get up early to go to church tomorrow ...and then I also work tomorrow!
Also the whif chocolate.
Quick update on my car....the battery is dead. It took a tiny charge but didn't hold the charge very well and had no ouutput. So I need a new battery. I kinda want to keep the charger tho....I like having the option to charge my battery if my car sits idle too long again. And a new battery wouldn't run much beyond $60 and I've spent more than that at thinkgeek!
So back to my reviews...
First up- th e cupcake flavored toothpaste. It actually tastes more like the whipped icing we get for grandpa cuz he's diabetic. It's kinda sweet but not really as sweet as the full sugar frosting. It tastes like the whipped frosting. It is a brownish pink and it doesn't foam up or anything. You'll need to use more than you think. There's no fluoride or whiteners..it's as basic as a toddler's training toothpaste. It's really just a lubricant for the toothbrush to move around easier.
That said..I still like it. Seeing it makes me smile and I have been brushing my teeth more often lately. It's also a tiny 2.5 oz tube so maybe is airplane friendly?
Next...
Foosh caffeinated mints. These are seriously caffeinated.... 100mgs of caffeine in each individual mint and you get 12 mints in a tin. They made me pleasantly alert but I was not jittery. The problem for me is the mint taste was sooo strong I damn near sneezed the mint right out of my mouth several times! If you can handle Altoids without a problem then these will probably work much better for you than they do for me.
I have 9 mints left to try to get used to strong mint taste. I'm trying. Cuz these mints really are a good deal. Only 5 cal each and they work for me better than 5hr energy does.. (5hr energyy makes me feel overheated sometimes)
I already ate two of my 3 astronaut ice cream. The neopolitan flavor is just like it was when I was a kid at COSI. But I liked the chocolate ice cream with chocolate chips much better. Both are excellent products, I'm just not a strawberry ice cream fan. Which is weird cuz I love strawberries. The third one is mint chocolate chip. I think I'll have it now actually....
Mmmm very nice....mint chocolate chip is my fave non-astronaut ice cream too.
Sometimes I wonder if I can tastes the flavors better when they're freeze-dried simply because there's no coldness to numb my tastebuds.
Astronaut ice cream has such an interesting texture. Like soft foamy or something...and it's fun to let it "melt" on my tongue :D
Omnomnom
I'm still undecided about the cupcake fizzy tablets. Seems the taste only shows up in 6oz water or less...and like the toothpaste the fizzy tabs taste more like the whipped icing. Ok the tabs do taste better than the toothpaste, but not by much.
However...the tabs have sugar (toothpaste is sugarfree) and the tabs still seem to help me resist sugar cravings.
Actually I had no sugar cravings at all after drinking the fizzytab water. I was craving-free for a few hours, like until I got hungry 4 hours later. I still have 8 tabs left so I'll keep experimenting.
Finally...the Le Whif breathable chocolate. I really wanted to like this.....I'm a chocoholic. But it's 3 plastic tubes with chocolate powder or something inside. It make me cough a few times, and I either couldn't really taste anything or I was coughing. And when I did manage to get some of the powder on my tongue it wasn't very sweet. Seriously doubt I'll get these again. It's a nice idea, but I guess the delivery system needs more work.
Please note thinkgeek does not make Le Whif...they only sell it. And it is selling so someone must like it.
Yay for thinkgeek having soooooo much other cool stuff!

I am an addict
hi... my name is Honor Regzig, and i am a ThinkGeek Addict.
I made my second order before my first had even arrived (tho fortunatly my first order did arrive later that day)
And i just now made my third order... and my second has not arrived.
I am an addict.
This time it was the Bento box and some mints.. and the titanium spork as my gift-with-purchase.
To be fair i had been waiting for the Bento to come back into stock anyway...
And I'm making excuses.
So... 3 orders in like 5 days... and each order was at least 60 dollars.
I am an addict. Please excuse me while I go cry over a pyre of my credit cards.
Who am i kidding... I'd never burn my credit cards.
But i may have to ban myself from the computer!

My car haz a sad.
It wouldn't start today. turn the key and....nothing. we're hoping it's just a dead battery since the poor thing was basically sitting unused for like 2 months. So I have a battery charger, just unhooked it. I can't lift the battery so it's just kinda chillin. I dunno if I got the right kind of charger and R was in bad mood so he kept cutting the salesguy off. Salesguy was nice to me too once I told who my mom was cuz he knows her. That auto store gives a discount to the peeps at mom's church. And yea I took advantage even tho I go to another church most the time. I still return to the "church" for singing stuff sometimes.
So no driver test for me tomorrow. Best case scenario we get to make the appt. But I will be glad to get some more practice time.
My first thinkgeek order arrived! Mom loves her star trek cookbook. I also order the whif chocolate, the cupcake fizzy tablets, Foosh caffeine mints, the Sneaky Things book, and cupcake flavored toothpaste.
Mom tried the mints since I didn't want caffeine after 6pm (not that it mattered...2am and I'm still up wtf) and she says the mint is Altoids strong. She didn't feel caffeinated but she's never been sensitive to caffeine anyway. She thinks the mint is what wakes you up.
The Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things book has me amused. Definite fun stuff.
I dunno what to do about the cupcake fizzy tablets. It doesn't say how much water to add. First try was in my usual 20oz and there was no taste. Then 10oz and I could smell a hint of frosting. 6oz seems to be the max to get flavor but the flavor is a definite fake-frosting thing.
But it does help with sugar cravings even in 10oz. I'm gonna throw one into my nightstand water bottle (another 10oz) and see how it tastes tomorrow.
I should add that these tablets take fucking forever to dissolve.
But again.... they do seem to really help with sugar cravings. I still haven't opened the Whifs and I don't feel a need to. So tomorrow I try the Foosh mints and have another go at the cupcake fizzy tablets. Now I'm off to test the cupcake flavored toothpaste (which does not contain fluoride btw, so switch it up with a fluoride-containing toothpaste too)
I'm hoping having these toys will help cut down on my bingetastic lifestyle lately. It's been shameful.

Shiiiiiittt.... soooo bad today. Not only did I cruelly massacre a gazillion Hershey Kisses after work, but while blogging I'm also making my first order on thinkgeek. I'm already at $30 and that's before shipping...and do these guys charge sales tax? Sheeee-it.
And I found the Neelix cookbook and it'd make such a kickass present for my mom.
And it would add another $23 to my bill.
We don't do presents very often in my family. Too poor to be honest. But this... she'd love it even tho I know damn well she won't cook from it. She adores all things Star Trek. I'm more about Original Series and a fair chunk of Voyager and a few random episodes from other series that reference Original Series. (Also... do not mention the ST reboot.. or I just might kill you)
Altho getting her the book might convince her to turn the damn tv off for a few hours. Ahhh blessed silence! She's a fast reader tho.
And i'd get guilt-tripping rights :D
"Why don't you use the book I gave you?"
Ok...I get.
Also getting myself some goodies! The breathable chocolate for one. And cupcake toothpaste and a sneaky things book so I can someday join Mich in building fun things from household objects xD
Yup they charge sales tax. So all told shipping tax etc I just sunk $64 into stuff I really don't need. But the Star Trek book is a present soooo..... I dunno part of me says I could have gotten more caffeine candy. Ugh.

Yay Blogger! Blogger found and restored those 2 comments from Mich! The one about waiting for mspaint with decreasing patience! Heeeee!
Damn bleeding just about done. Control is coming back, pain is gone.
Yay!
Willpower to ignore food is coming back...but willpower to ignore the fun stuff at thinkgeek dot com is nowhere around! So much stuff I want! Astronaut food! Well astronaut snacks really...ice cream and apple slices and chocolate and ice cream sandwiches... and they have uber-long-shelf-life stuff. "Tactical sammich" can be stored unopened for like 3 years. Tho I'm not to interested in trying them I'm amused by them and keychain speaker amp is soooo cute! And the newly arrived teeny building sets awwwww..... and their survival kit stuff cracks me up (I havve always been fascinated with survival kits...dunno why). And a titanium spork!! Love it! And Star Trek toys... I even wanna try the cupcake flavored toothpaste! And all the forms caffeine comes in...and they have a Zelda Ocarina (yes!! Want!!!1!) And the bento and solar powered cellphone chargers and some cool WoW stuff (Frostmourne!!) And energy potions/caffeine!1.. in the form of stuff like mana and life potions. I got such Diablo II flashbacks!
Their foods are expensive but look so fun! And what is this.....breathable chocolate!?!
I should never have found this site. My wallet is doomed.

my first pic... you can haz!
First...quick note to Mich: thinkgeek.com/geektoys/collectibles/acd6/
Saw it and thought of Mich ^_^
i gotta open and work today .. in like 6 hours i'm supposed to be awake and putting my work face on.. so wtf am i doing STILL UP?!?!?!?
Hurriedly posting that beginner's pic... that's what!
I call my first attempt Sweet Dreams.. for what i think are obvious reasons....
i still need to experiment with.. well everything.
But yea, there's my sad first attempt. My cat is all flat, the whole thing looks Picasso-ed to me. My cat is supposed to be sitting but with the top-down view and my bed like that it looks like my cat is smooshed laying down while in a sitting position.
No fucking clue what to do about things like filling in the walls or the floor. Or furniture.
But here's the basic idea... my kitty is a pure black cat. And she feels like silk. She's the only cat allowed in my room... mainly cuz she's the only cat I trust to not take a shit in my room >_<
You see here what I'm trying to do with my hair color.. my hair is naturally a boring medium ash brown and i dye it reddish brown.. technically "medium auburn". I use Natural Instincts in cinnaberry.
There's my cadbury mini-eggs. You can also see my glasses on that sad attempt at a bedside table.
And those are two of my fave Samantha pics in my dream bubbles. Samantha has such mesmerizing eyes. Seriously hypnotic.
Also need to play around with pic placement and how to get it to show on the blog closer to its actual size.. i dunno why it gets shrunk yet still seems to take the same time to load.
And feel free to notice the slight color-wonk on the clothes on my bed ^_^ speaking of clothes... there's my sad attempt at clothes piles. Maybe I should take actual pics of my messy room and cut out mounds from that hahahaha!!!

Uuunnggghhh... am on phone at work, spending my break in the bathroom. Guess what? I'm bleeding! Already?! I need to start charting these things better...I swear it feels like the womanly cycles are getting shorter.
Boobies hurt a few days ago, which was my warning. They always get kinda sore before the evil red aunt flo visits. Bras get real painful...good thing I'm small enough to go without (unless I'm working out. Even small ones bounce)
So I feel like shit. Pigged out on chocolate last night which doesn't help. Getting some Motrin and a bit more chocolate and my tuna salad lunch kit things. Yummy and no cooking. I get a rare day off tomorrow and I'm betting I'll be lazy. And I'll eat whatever will fill my tummy up enough to take a pain pill.
I swear the cycles are getting shorter.
<3 to Peri for basically telling me to post my pic no matter how horrid it is :)

Waiting For Bandwidth
Looks like blogger is back. Am on phone anyway tho. Uncle has his kids over so there's like no bandwidth for me. Really hope he moves out soon.
Meanwhile I'll play on my bedroom comp I guess. My long-suffering brother exxplained how to plug my phone into my comp. He gets his pics off that way. Turns out my phone's charger cord comes apart. The prongs box comes off and there's a USB thing under there. So my charger is basically a UsB cable plugged into the prongs box. Oops. I feel dumb. If i'd taken a closer look at the cord before now I would have seen that. I feel dumb.
But that means I can start building up a folder of images for my cartoons, like how Mich has recognisable pics within hers. Lil houses made of girl scout cookie boxes and her evil Cocoa Pebbles.
When I got home from work a few nights ago, before Blogger crashed. I was looking at my needs-moderation comments and Mich had good-naturedly complained that she was waiting for mspaint pics with decreasing patience! Since my brain didn't want to sleep yet anyway (but I was hurting everywhere else!) I started experimenting again. I finally figured out how she gets those pics of food in her paintings. And then Blogger crashed. And I lost the comments I had not approved. Peri and baby sis's comments have been restored since then but Blogger hasn't put Mich's comments back yet. Waaaaa!
Well anyway I do have a pic that is very obviously a beginner's pic down on the internet computer, but I still don't know if I want to post it. It's one of those looking-down-from-ceiling things and I can't figure how to get perspective right or how to fill in the floor and my cat looks flat and the whole thing looks oddly Picasso-ed. And don't get me started on my attempt at creating a messy clothes pile. Ugh.
On the other hand, I also copy-pasted two of my fave Samantha pics into it. I should post it for that. And well...as far as my mspaint skills go I definitely can't get any worse.
Just waiting for the bandwidth.

On the other hand, I also copy-pasted two of my fave Samantha pics into it. I should post it for that. And well...as far as my mspaint skills go I definitely can't get any worse.
Just waiting for the bandwidth.

Hugs to baby sis, Harlow and dayofmine for encouraging words and empathy. Welfare Slags....perfect phrase. So descriptive.
Hugs to Peri for the notalwaysright.com website. That is good therapy! Can anyone make a submission or do I sign up? It's probably on the website but I was too busy reading stories and laughing. Excellent site for anyone dealing with the frustrations of retail/customer service etc.
Got just over an hour til I'm going in for another wageslave day. I had yesterday off and spent most of it either sleeping or watching Mary Poppins over and over. Blogging time was spent laughing at that website.
But I did get the chocolate packed up and downstairs. Yay! Well 99.9% of it anyway. I since found a half-full bag of dove dark chocolate promises that I ate up.
Willpower, oh willpower, where art thou?
Oh right...burned up at work in my efforts to not snap into a homicidal rage.
But at least the rest of my disturbingly large chocolate stash is....stashed. if I go bingey, it'll take a lot more effort to get the chocolate out. I'm hoping my laziness will cancel the bingey urge ot at least drive the binge to my low-cal Pastellines and lollipops and fruit juices and icy water. I've noticed that when I refrigerate water in a recently-emptied fruit juice bottle, the water picks up a hint of the fruit taste. It's very nice.
Lesigh...time to go put my mask on.

Uuhhhhgg.... I can haz desk job nao?
This sucks I am so unhappy. Day after day of stress workdays turn int o binging when I get home. My feet feel like bloody stumps and all I wanna do is sit in the recliner and watch silly movies and stuff my face. As if a full belly will make my feet and legs hurt less.
I burn up my willpower just trying to act happy happy at work cuz customers only want happy slaves waiting on them and ofc the corporate slavers only want happy slaves working for minimum wage. Who cares that so many of my coworkers have food stamp cards? If I didn't live w my mom i'd be on food stamps too. Grrr! People who work should not be so poor.
And the lazy assholes who don't work shouldn't have all their bills paid for them. I get so pissed everytime I see one of those welfare queens. You know the type. Super long nails and a D&G knockoff bag and wild fancy designs airbrushed on those nails and usually lots of makeup. Hair can be any length. But is in a "trendy" cut. The nails are the dead giveaway tho. Nails so long they have trouble using a pen or pushing buttons. Nails too long to allow any work.
My reaction to super long nails is of disgust. And the fancier the paint job, the greater the disgust. How much money does it take to maintain those claws? They have the thickness of acrylics but the random growth pattern of natural nails. So probably natural w acrylic laid over and just "filled in" over and over as the nail grows.
Do thos lazy bitches even try to find jobs? Or do they spend all their time in the nail salon?
And my break is over. Sigh. Back to the grindstone. My schedule is not letting up. Those. Blissful 4-days-off-in-a-row seems gone forever.

@ Peri- tablet? Huh? Whenever I attempt Bloggy-McDoodleness (haha love it!) It's a mouse and my twitchy hand and the screen. Ya mean there are tools that could make this easier? Crap! I'm doomed.
Ah well I try anyway. It's fun! But this old comp, whenever I try to convert a bitmap to jpg or something...the colors go wonky! And whole colors get removed and changed to something else! Ahhhhhh! Wish I knew more about how Mich did it. I should bug her about it.
But wait....I owe her a reading of the Fairy Queen. Should do that first. It's not a chore ^_^ I'm just stuck working crazy fucked up hours for the next 3 weeks! I close tonight and I open in the morning and I can't fucking sleep! Sigh.
Mom was watching Schindler's List when I came home. Just the song is enough to make me cry.
She put in the special features from the Mary Poppins dvd so i'd have happy thoughts to sleep on.
I like happy endings. Always have. I wish the Jews could have a happy ending. 6 million killed that we know of (there were probably more) in that genocide. Isn't it enough yet? Can't they get their happy ending now? They're not warlike. They're perfectly happy to be ignored and left alone. They're a bit like hobbits that way (don't tell them I said that tho...I dunno how'd they'd take it)
Jews don't get pushy. They don't try to convert people. You ever have a pair of Jews knock on your door to give you their literature? Actually they'd probably get even more annoyed at jehovah's witnesses xD
Why can't they just be left in peace? The Amish don't have nearly so much trouble.
The leftover easter candy went 75 percent off and I was naughty. Mom and uncle claimed a fair share of it tho. It's cool...I don't need it anyway. As it is I pigged out on hershey symphony bars and animal crackers. And later took lotsa pics of my flappy flabby fatty belly. And yea...it is fat. I know perception can be problematic here.....but my belly is fat. And yet my limbs are so small. The contrast is eye-popping. I gotta find how to get the pics posted. I put a quarter on my wrist back when I was 175 and the wrist was just as small then. Peeps at work think i'd blow away in a slight breeze. But it's all in the damn stomach! And I can dress to hide it. My legs are still fairly slender! Gah fucking apple shapes!!
Must at least try to sleep.

My fave luna bar flavors are white chocolate macadamia, and then smores and caramel nut brownie. The last 2 are tied w each other.
I freely admit they taste much better when eaten first. And even better when you're really hungry.
But eat any real food first and the luna bar tastes very different.
I've been experimenting with ms paint. 10 minutes? Mich must have cartoon creation down!! Cuz I was making a digital mess! I can't get anything to look right. Skin colors don't lookb right at all unless you want the orange lohan look >_<
Not happy with my cartoon hair color.
I try later with the big downstairs computer. My bedroom comp is so old it has an 18 gig hard drive.
I walked to school today to pay my bill. Then walked back. I was trying to undo the damage of a mint chocolate cookie binge (why isn't the damn chocolate packed up?)
Also been going nuts on the luna bars. I now have one left. And a small fistful of luna minis, but the minis are 80cal and 11g carbs.
Don't think I'm gonna hit the 160 goal this Saturday. But I do work the next 4 days in a row...so less time to eat. We'll see.
I hate working sundays. Hate working weekends in general.

I should be sleeping...... ugh. But y'all get a food review out of it :)
Ok..really hate work. I had the closing shift and shortly after I got there I was told to come in at 9am the next day instead of at noon. And I'm being pulled out of cosmetics again to work front register.
Apparently the resident fatass found out at the last possible minute that she had to go to court on may 3. Seriously? Courts aren't known for being fast....and she didn't know until 4pm may 2 that she had to go to court on may 3?
Riiiiiiight.
And I can't sleep cuz I slept til past noon and I'm afraid to take the melatonin since I won't get 8 hours sleep uninterrupted.
So I had my 10cal joint supp drink thru work and when I got home at like 1030 at night I chowed down on 4 Luna bars and half a bag of turkey jerky. Well...better than touching the chocolate that is still all over my room.
Then while looking (and finding) the small tupperware-knockoff I carry my protein mix in...I found two lil Skinny Cow treats. They had an intro price of like 40 cents so I got one of each. The Dreamy Clusters were very good. Crispy and chocolatey with a bit of soft melty caramel.120 per serving (they were sold individually aka "open stock")
At 120 cals a packet 50fat cals 6g fat 20g carbs and 3g fiber w 9g sugar and 1g protein..it's definitely a treat. I guess I should call this a candy review ^_^
Next I tried Skinny Cow heavenly crisp candy bar- milk chocolate flavor
Omg omnomnomnomn yummy!! Smooth creamy chocolate with the gentle soft crisp of wafers.
110cals 50fat cals 6g fat 14g carbs w 1g fiber 9g sugar 1g protein
The catch is how tiny the servings are. There were like 5 lil nuggets in the 1oz clusters packet, and the bar was less than an ounce.
Tasty tasty...but dunno if i'd be willing to pay full price ^_^
