Okay, so I caved and had a piece of apple-pie last night.

I find that my resolve is so much weaker at night, when everything is quiet.
That's when I hear the voice of my Part B so much more clearly. She's so persuasive.

I also blame Lani and my brother. Lani's the one who baked the pie in the first place, and my brother is the one who didn't eat it fast enough to prevent it from tempting me.

Not gonna be too hard on myself though. I'm back on track!

C.O.T.

Damn, it's so hot right now!

Most Perfect Scenario I Can Think Of At The Moment

Me, stretched out in a big macramé hammock, underneath a tamarind/almond/shak-shak tree, beside a little table with a boombox (playing some Toni Braxton) and a pitcher of ice-cold lemonade, with a 19 yr. old, bare-back Polynesian hunk massaging my feet.

Ahhh, now THA'S what I'm talkin' about!

Captain's Log, Star-date 3.14

I would kill for a stick of sugarless gum right about now.

Hark! What was that thunderous racket? Sounded like a herd of panicked wildebeest just stampeded through the bridge! Or maybe it was just my empty stomache...

So what greeted me this morning for breakfast?
OATMEAL of all things!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful to my Mum for making breakfast, but she’s s’posed to be on this low-carb diet too! We're tryin' out the "buddy system" approach. Anyhow, after I scolded her, she put on her best expression of wide-eyed innocence and said,
“Sorry Daanz, I didn’t know you meant oatmeal too.” Meanwhile scooping spoonfuls of the gooey stuff into her mouth.

Sigh…how am I s’posed to be strong when my own MOTHER is fighting me on this?
But oh, the tantalizing smell of warm, sweet, thick oatmeal…I’m proud to say that I resisted valiantly.

Score 1 for de Iyah.

Yummy Food That I'll Have To Give Up On This Low-Carb Diet I'm Trying

Anything wid flour in it (Sandwiches, pizza, pies, cakes, cookies [oh no! Not the cookies!] etc.)
Anyting wid sugar in it (alcohol, icecream, juice, soda, breath mints etc.)
Cereal
Tortilla chips
Macaroni pie
Potato (salad, mashed, baked, scalloped, etc.)

No more rotis...just protein, fruits and vegetables.

Why am I doin' this to myself?
I deserve only your pity for this.

I think this chick at ballroom is tryin' to steal my partner.
Why must she keep comin' and "borrowing" MY partner when dey got nuff udda men dat ain' got no friggin' partner??? Schuuupes.
Little does SHE know that her ploy ain't gonna work! She'll just have to find her own! Sneaky bitch.

C.O.T.
Forgot to mention that my new latin shoes
arrived the other day. I got 'em in flesh-coloured satin with 3" heels.
I dunno who these people are tryin' to fool when they call anything "flesh-coloured"! I mean, that certainly isn't the colour of MY flesh! Oh well, it'll still work I guess. It'll have to, cuz there's another show comin' up in November and we have some SERIOUS work to do!
I still haven't forgotten about my dream shoes
,...I'll just have to wait a little longer 'til we can be together!

My brother's surprise birthday party came off great! He was comPLETELY clueless about it, and the look on his face when everyone came out and yelled "Surprise!" was priceless!!!

And for once, HIS friends were way sportier than mine! Whassup with that? My friends gettin' old or wha?
And one-a his friends, who I thought was a whiny spoilsport at first, turned out to be bare kix after a few Banks'!
And did I mention hot? My man start doin' a strip tease to some groovy "flamming music" I had on....slowly unbuttonin' de shirt to reveal a surprisingly well-sculpted torso! Well...what was I supposed to do?
I did the only thing that seemed appropriate under the circumstances...I put a quarter in his belly-button! Haha! I know it's not nice to go encouraging the inebriated in their drunken antics, but he's just so much more FUN when he's tipsy, it's unbelievable! Plus he's a hottie.

Would it be wrong for me to try to pull at my little brother's friend?
