The Woman Can't Stop Eating

"I just wanna take all the cookies and shove them in my face."
Afternoon Readers,

     Lately, I've found it's a little bit harder to blog than it used to be. Not because I don't love it, but because my ever-expanding self can't seem to stay focused long enough to put a paragraph together. For instance, I got up this morning, determined to speak to you guys about the single most important factor in consistent economic growth and waffles....er...see what I mean?

     Readers, you tune here because you want the hard-hitting news, the nitty gritty on political upheaval, whether Kathy Lee and Hoda are still getting along in an alcohol-induced haze of odd-coupledom, but how can I do that when my mind keeps straying to food?

     Before I could stop myself after lunch, this post had begun with three pages on the merit of waffles covered in peanut butter served exactly at midnight.

Research shows:

- a glowing complexion
- scented sheets
- Divorce papers that smell like Jiff

     I tried starting it last night, but found I'd walked away from the computer entirely and was sitting in the freezer trying to type on a bag of frozen chicken nuggets....which was hard because...

Well, I shouldn't have to explain the difficulty of chewing on a frozen chicken nugget whilst trying to find the "caps lock" underneath the heating directions. I was only stopped in this endeavor when Husband opened the door and found me crying about how I couldn't find the "publish" button on my blog.
Being the kind man he is, he pointed out that there was no way it was on the back of the Jamba Juice smoothie bag, and could I please get him a beer when I got my life back together.

     This is only happening because I'm almost at the halfway point in this pregnancy. Food. Obsessed. Four-and-a-half more months to go, and I've only eaten a third of the world's available cake supply. I'd stay and chat more, but the twins and I have a date with the grocery store, and I have an even later, more scandalous date with pie and ice cream.

Please tune in tomorrow for my expose on the harsh aftereffects of eating cobbler while it's still in the oven.

Until Next Time, Readers!

  2. OOPS! I accidently deleted a whole thought! My bad, but here it is again...

    Awwww Paige....geezers guurrl, you confuse me sometimes, but in a weird way I can still manage to understand you. I didn't know you were expecting. Congratz! Now I feel bad for saying it was STUPID of you to wave the junk mail at your neighbors. I even capatilized the whole word! I'm sawwy. I really, really am. Don't be too hard on yourself. Just go ahead and eat all you want and tell the hubby he can get his own beer! And even if its just a date with pie & ice cream, hey at least its a date. LOL, I wish I can say I have a date "/ Well, come to think of it, not really. I am looking forward to seeing how the heck you'e gonna expose on the harsh aftereffects after-effects of eating cobbler while still in the oven. Be careful, it burns! It burns lots!

    Tootles!

  3. Dear Paige--I understand your compulsion with food. I had it during each of my 3 pregnancies. Come to think of it, I had it between my pregnancies, too. And after. My youngest will be 49 this year. I hope it goes away soon!

    1. Fishducky, why can't you just move out here so we can sit and eat boxes of bon bons together and talk about how skinny we are? I say you petition your husband to pack up and head towards Kansas. I'll buy the first round of Skittles! LOL

  4. You are hysterical! But don't EVEN concern yourself over putting on a few extra pounds. I did too during my pregnancy, but I've already lost 14 pounds of what I gained and my daughter was just born March 22 (... 1972.) LOL!

  5. I just got over a case of PMS (Since you asked about it... oh wait, you didn't?), the symptoms of which were remarkably similar to what you describe here. It was the same with my 3 pregnancies, too. I found it saves a lot of time and hassle to stockpile a bunch of food in a cart and eat it while you're still at the grocery, perched atop the butter in the dairy case or hidden inside a fort built from cereal boxes. It saves you the trouble of taking the food home and putting it away, as if you aren't just going to immediately spread everything back out and roll around in it with your mouth open.

    1. How'd you know I wanted to know??? LOL It's almost scary how many times I've wanted to open boxes and just start eating in the grocery store. They drew the line at me sneaking back to the meat counter and grilling my own steak though...:(

  8. So THAT's where all the cake has gone!!! You know, I used to type on a bag of frozen chicken nuggets but I could never find a printer that would accommodate it, so I gave up. Boo.

    1. Also why I gave up on a printer around here too. HAve you ever tried to find an ink cartridge for a two pound bag of Tyson chicken tenders?
