Gently Amphibious

We have a fridge! It wasn’t a new one, and so it’s kind of scummy inside. I tried to clean it but it seems unmoveable. Yeck. But still, place to keep stuff cold yay! Most of our freezer stuff was actually taken home by Laurie (Russ’ daughter) so we’re getting that on Monday. I am really happy that we have a place to keep food. It was a little annoying not having a place for anything, and not having any milk for 2 breakfasts, that really made it obvious to me how unpleasant cheerios are when they are unwatered.

I can’t tell if its from the blogathon or if its because I went off the pill (I’m sick of it) and its just my hormones being themselves but for most of this week… sometime in the afternoon/evening I end up feeling rather… weak. Empty. It’s annoying. It has resulted in me being too lazy to hold myself on the couch so I will slowly just slide off. And then be too lazy to get off the floor. Jake is useful for that. I mean… I could hold myself up, but I can’t be bothered. The thing that makes me think it is hormones though is the fact my entire face and neck is COVERED in pimples. I normally have one here and one there…. this is insane.

So the other day at the store I was contemplating getting a box of junior mints. And then I saw that the box said they were XL so I HAD to try them. Stupid lying box. They might be very slightly larger than regular, but only if you compare them to regular ones. I don’t know that for sure, as I didn’t want to go buy another box just for comparisons sake. They were still tasty, I was just sad that the box lied to me.

We had pizza for dinner last night, to use up the rest of the dough we had. And we had bbq chicken from the store to put on it! Was very yummy. But then when we ate it cold for lunch, it tasted way too much like there was vegemite on the pizza and that just weirded me out a bit too much. Vegemite should not be on a pizza. It should be in a sandwich. With a glass of OJ to wash it down. That is one of the greatest combos I’ve ever had. Vegemite and honey sandwiches are pretty good, but you have to get the ratio exactly perfect or it just tastes… bad.

Title: according to Jake, that’s what a turtle is.

You know what? I bet they made the regular junior mints even more junior and now they’re marketing the regular junior mints as XL junior mints. (How many more times can I type “junior mints” in a sentence?)~jo

The previous note made me laugh. But it makes perfect sense! Sorry for the false advertising… boo!

“I tried to clean it but it seems unmoveable.” On the plus side, if elbow grease won’t budge it then the chances are good it’s not gonna come off on your food either. 🙂 ~Shady

Ooo at least you have a fridge though right? 🙂 Sucks about the hormones, I’ve have acne on me too but I don’t know if that’s because of the amount of fast food I’ve been having. Vegemite? Have I asked what that is before? The title makes sense. 😀

My math teacher in high school brought in Vegemite and I just couldn’t eat it! My favorite pizza is bbq sauce, grilled chicken, and onions. Yum!

Hooray for having a fridge! What you described really does sound like hormones – I know that I had some weird symptoms when I went off the pill, too.

I’ve never had vegemite…unless that’s what you call Nutella. Or is Nutella COMPLETELY different? Lol, I’m afraid I don’t know the Aussie way! SO glad you have a fridge. I would hate to go without one! *

Yea Fridge! Ya know i’m feeling the same way about the blog-a-thon too, odd if you ask me. I get tired around 1 in the afternoon and like clockwork wake up around 3am thinking that I have to post…it’s weird. Anyway…sorry about the mints…Maybe the next box will be bigger?

Vegemite on toast with orange juice. Om nom nom. My most favorite breakfast when I was a child.

I had a cheesecake on Wednesday that tasted like Vegemite. It wasn’t very yummy. 🙁 It was supposed to be chocolate/vanilla. BOOOOOO.

YAY new fridge. I think the junior mints thing happens a LOT. Like all the time things change in size but not the price… like chips go from 50g packs to 45g packs and they keep or even raise the price! I think this was just like that, but even more elaborate. In other news, I cannot BELIEVE you have almost been married for three years.
