things you should avoid when you are premenstrual

tustin ranch costco. at all costs!! it is a very very very bad place to shop. how many more times do i have to blog about it before Obama closes it down already (BEFORE guantanamo, please and thank you) and makes it into a museum of all that's bad about Orange County. no-one smiles - they can't because they have botoxed faces (:| like this you see) and people run over your children to get the last sample of granola bar. the line to the food court is so long you could die before you get your mocha freeze. the checkers are all gross old sex offender looking men with tobacco stained hair and fingers. it's like hell on earth. but even worse!

tustin ranch target. oh my. how i hate that place. i hate how OC everyone is. OC = perfect but only on the surface, interested yet checked out, bubbly yet flat and inflated yet hollow. if you look into people's eyes you can actually see machinery operating them - they are all robots. and useless ones at that - they don't vacuum under the bed or spin entertainingly in circles. i am NOT from OC. i am NOT from OC. i am NOT from OC.

i said... i am NOT from OC.

tustin ranch Buca di Beppo. our order - one bowl of spaghetti and bread. it took 35 minutes to cook a BOWL OF SPAGHETTI!!!!!!! it was a slow painful near-death experience - being deprived of pasta and bread at this time of the month is tantamount to torture.

did i mention we also went into Toys R Us? in tustin ranch???! a heinous place to be in any city one ANY given week of the month, but in tustin ranch on 'hell week'? not good.

anyway, my eating for the day. it's been a difficult day, all told :)

• yogurt. i am soooo sick of typing this. luckily it doesn't taste as boring as it sounds :)
• two cups of coffee
• one waffle french fry and half a chicken nugget at Chick Fila (what the hell kind of place is this? chicken for breakfast???)
• vegetable soup - again i ate 2.5 servings (ie, a can) with bread. tried NOT to eat the bread. failed :(
• strawberries and yogurt
• far too many samples at Costco, this little piggie loves samples :)
• spaghetti and teeny pieces of bread to make it seem more
• one inch caramel shortcake from Thorntons, UK.... soooooo worth going to the UK for :)
• 4 laffy taffy (hangs head in utter shame)

and exercise... the 4.6 mile walk. but, this is shocking - i just found out my neighbor was RAPED on the trail i walk on everyday! seriously, i am glad that man is in jail because i would have to cut him to pieces if i saw him, no questions asked. anyway i must invest in a can of mace next time i am at walmart (and maybe a nice little handgun to keep next to my iPod and water bottle:)
