The Shame Squad

Well, we discovered our favorite Indian restaurant has a $9 buffet on the weekends, so it's all kind of downhill from there, isn't it?   Yesterday I also discovered that an Epsom salt bath will make your strained quads and hamstrings not hurt for one whole hour.  Other than that, I spent the day hobbling, wobbling, and waddling.  Standing up, sitting down, and using the stairs all involved grabbing on to walls, furniture, sometimes even cats.  But don't worry, I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow.  Joy. The Hamstring Hazards is what I will name my next band. Breakfast - I kept it light, knowing that we were going to the Indian buffet Rice Chex - 3 points Skim Milk - 1 point Water - 0 points Total: 4 points Lunch - was at the amazing and delicious Rangoli , which you should totally hit up if you're ever in South Riding Samosas - 6 Dosa - 2 Salad - 0 Ranch Dressing (just a tiny bit) - 1 Channa Masala - 7 Rice - 5 Raita -2 Water - 0 Total:

The Grammys give us some of the year's best fashion disasters!  And away we go! Not sure if Cyndi Lauper thought she was going to the Grammys or a Halloween party. Zendaya goes for the "80's shirt and polka dot shower curtain" look. Katy Perry made her dress out of tulle and the sheet music to Blurred Lines .  Just kidding--there's clearly no sheet music for Blurred Lines . Jessica Miller shoes that if you like trends (military jackets, sequins, ostrich feathers), you should not  wear them all at once.  Also, shut up Lars Ulrich. So many swans died to make Sara Bareilles' dress.  Will no one think of the swans?!?!!? Rita Ora stole a costume that one of the aliens wore during the filming of the original Star Trek  series. Natasha Bedingfield tries to make 'hazmat orange' sexy. Pharrell is hiding Daft Punk under his hat. Ariana Grande's dress is ugly.  But more importantly, I think she's wearin

Hi peeps.  I'm really struggling with keeping track of what I eat, because there's just no time!  Yes, I realize that it's an incredibly lame excuse, but it's true.  I don't understand how people with kids get anything done ever.  Seriously, we just have to old sleepy cats, and Chris flings feeds and waters them, so I can't even say I have a hand in keeping them alive. My job is insanely busy, and I'm trying to make it less so.  I've been reading books on time management while riding the exercise bike (multitasking!) so I'm trying to get better about work/life balance and time management.  Covey (of "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" fame) would tell you to focus on the important.  He mostly wants you to hang out in Quadrant II.  I've been spending too much time in Quadrant I.  I'd actually LOVE to visit Quadrant IV, and assure my friends and relations that I am, indeed, alive every once in a while by returning a phone cal

Meryl Streep goes for "Sexy Librarian" with the glasses and shoes, and "Chico's Model" for the dress. Amy Adams, honey, they forgot to finish your gown. Luciana Damon gets points for making her dress out of a tablecloth from my mom's dining room, but loses points for forgetting to iron it. Emma Thompson lost a bet and had to wear this .  "No really, I love jeweled parrots on my dresses!" Remember these rattan chairs from the 80's?   Natalie Dormer painted them black and upcycled them in to sleeves. Rita Moreno is All Harley on the top, All Chinese Restaurant Curtains on the bottom. Kerry Washington couldn't decide which 80's Mother-of-the-Bride Dress she liked better, so she wore one half of each! Ariel Winter's dress is fine, but apparently she thought she might get hungry during the awards and made her own snack tray.  I kind of feel like there's a plastic baggie of Cheerios hid
