So, today my calorie goal got busted. Which is not a good thing, but that's not what I'm whining about. Basically, I went out and walked to the grocery store at noon (interesting side note: I almost killed myself. 47 degrees celsius. NEVER. AGAIN. My EVERYTHING was burning. Oh my GOD, the heat.) because I decided that I really, really wanted cookies.
So, since I managed to maintain some aspect of my sanity in this cookie venture, I chose to buy one of those round yellow cylinder things of Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie dough, so I wouldn't have leftover ingredients to bake more--smart, right? NO.
When I got home, I was hot and tired, so I left the dough to chill for about 3 hours and then baked it according to directions. The result? PANCAKES. They were SO FLAT that they all ran into each other on the baking sheet (yes, I spaced them!) and turned into one large, flat cookie pancake. The texture was... weird. Not gooey or crispy or anything resembling a cookie--they just fell to pieces as we picked them up, and tasted NASTY. My husband went and washed out his mouth, and I had to just throw out the rest. Never buying that again.
Tollhouse has destroyed my cookie dreams. I hate you, Tollhouse. End of rant.
Note: This rant was mostly tongue-in-cheek, other than the cookie description.
But I'm still grumpy about my destroyed cookie dreams and ruining my calories over something that nasty. Sigh.
ETA: One more thing. They had enough grease leaking from them to fry a blue whale. That is all.
I think you just ruined toll house cookies for me (not that I buy them). Ick. Total bummer. And I'll bet you are still craving cookies.

I cried most of this morning. My husband jokingly said he thought I could probably stand to lose another 100 pounds.. just good natured teasing, nothing abnormal, and I cried... for hours.. over something as stupid as a joke... =/
I'm sorry I know everyone was nice about this but no matter what weight you are that is not nice. I hope he regrets it now. Don't let him get you down. Hugs even though I don't know you!0 -

Happy Saturday all. I hope @ShibaEars is able to relax this weekend and not stress too much over Freya. I hope the bat is not rabid! I love candy corn. I went to look for some at the store next to my job and none to be found, yet. I confess I am more excited about Blue Bell ice cream coming back than candy corn at the moment.
I planned to get in some miles this morning them maybe lift before we hit the road. I got one mile in when I tripped on some rebar stickingout of the road and fell on my face. One mile in. Well, I just sat there for a couple of minutes until the pain died down to a dull roar, then wiped the blood off my hands and went home. No lifting for me for a few days. My knees are hurting from the fall. I was in my Zone and then on my face. NOT a good start to the day.
Oh no!!! I hope it feels all better soon. Is is abrasions and bruising?
Pretty bad one on my right hand and elbow. I think I was trying to save my phone as I was carrying it due to no pockets on my shorts. Banged up my left knee and have a nice bump on my patella, hope it isn't cracked. Mostly just sore from catching myself on the asphalt.
Insane what we will hurt to save a phone or tablet or whatever eh? I hope you feel better soon!!0 -

I don't necessarily agree. Since my husband has this sense of humor, I can see the teasing behind it--It's definitely not appropriate for all audiences and depends on the dynamic of the marriage, but I don't get hurt or take it seriously when Mr. Susie makes jokes like these, and I make similar ones with him. Different strokes for different folks and all that.
HOWEVER, if these types of jokes hurt my feelings, he would never make them again--I know that for sure and he has mentioned it to me more than once. If the jokes were made with the intention of hurting someone or with the knowledge that it would hurt them, that's obviously a totally different ballgame. 0 -

Speaking of cookies, the Dollar Tree sells a fudge graham cookie that is better than it has any right to be. If you toast a marshmallow over the stovetop flame and put it between two of them you have a s'more that will rival any other. Or so I've heard.0

Well, I'm the one that's more likely to tease about anything with my husband. He never says anything to me or about me that could be construed as negative about my body/appearance. That said, all of my exes have known that I can take joking, but don't EVER comment on my weight. Ever. Very sensitive subject for me.0 -

I'd give him a salad for dinner and tell him we are BOTH on a diet for his stupid comment.0 -

Maybe so but a woman's weight is almost never something to joke about. I can't imagine if you are married to someone you wouldn't know that would hurt (if your wife is one who cares).0 -

No you don't. Cookies are evil. Say it with me... cookies are evil.1 -
@kelly_c_77 Thanks! Went for a walk and took a nap, and that seems to have made a difference.
@ythannah I can't blame menopause, as I'm still 22, but I can blame it on PMS (regardless of what time of month it is
) You're right though, it's all about what sticks for us, despite the little things.
@nonoelmo Thanks! It's definitely not abusive. He was just kidding with me and my mind automatically went "omg I'm huge.. wahhhh" instead of being reasonable.
@pofoster21 I don't want him to regret it. It was no big deal, just a joke that I took too sensitivly
@rungirl1973 It's usually not that big of a deal for me, and we can usually joke with each other about weight, but today it just hit a sore spot.
@Lois_1989 He's already on a diet, but not because I'm trying to punish him or anything silly. He wants to get back to cage fighting. It was meant as a joke, nothing serious.0 -
I wont even lie. The safety of my phone was my first concern after I realized I was in the hospital for getting hit by a car. My Otterbox kept everything good!Italian_Buju wrote: »Happy Saturday all.

Pretty bad one on my right hand and elbow. I think I was trying to save my phone as I was carrying it due to no pockets on my shorts. Banged up my left knee and have a nice bump on my patella, hope it isn't cracked. Mostly just sore from catching myself on the asphalt.

I hope you get better soon @crosbylee ! I fell on the road during a run last year and it was not fun.0 -

Ouch I am hoping you are feeling a lot better now!0 -
Thanks to you all for the well wishes. I am hoping that a couple of beers tonight will dull the ache in my palm. I am keeping it cleaned and dressed for the moment.0
