"Ugh, I can hear you getting fatter"

Our town puts on an event for Literacy Day. The sponsors are phenomenal, the volunteers are driven and the entertainment is awesome! (Well, okay - it's awesome for me - because I enjoy dancing around with kids being a good to B-I-N-G Clap! and other such favourites as the alphabet song. It's event that actually gives entirely to families and kids. It's free entry, they learn, laugh, dance, sing, buy books and eat pizza! How much better does it get? I had a great time volunteering for it. I love kids when I can return them!

After that I gave in and went to the Florists - no matter how much of a grudge I'm holding - I miss my second home. I miss the company and laughs. I may even miss getting picked on - but not so much. I guess I have no choice but to just move on from my bitterness and realize nothing will come of it. It was one of those hit or hug situations. I chose to sit on the counter.

For dinner, Jack, myself, Dave, Charlie and Allison went to the Mandarin. That is what is wrong with North Americans right there. We drove thirty five minutes away to eat more food than a regular human being should consume in a week. I've eaten like a bird this past month and wow did this evening do me in. I was driving home with my hands gripped to my steering wheel in complete pain. I had my PANTS unbuttoned and I still thought that my insides were going to rot or fall out at any given second. I came home in practical tears thinking what was I thinking. It's funny - cause I didn't eat anything BAD per se. I ate fresh shrimp, the broccoli garlic dish, and about four plates of mandarins and strawberries (Oh! And three perogies)... Basically it was just the amount of food that I ate in such a short period of time. I've always been able to pack it in... I failed this time. Either that or I exceeded my already crazy high tolerance. I've had a burning hot shower already this evening to transfer the pain in my stomach to my skin. It worked for the time being. I'm writing this only because it's just too early to go to bed.

I think the fetal position is calling me right now. Tomorrow is also the first day in a LONG time where I don't need to be up and out by a certain time - which almost guarantees that I will be up at some obscenely early hour :( Wish me luck to learn the art of sleeping in
