There is a cloud following me today...be careful.

I am happy that it’s Friday but I have to be honest, I have not had the best day. I have more drama with student loans that I won’t go into and then I got COMPLETELY soaked at lunch from a sudden monsoon that hit Tuscaloosa this afternoon. It’s got me kind of gloomy and since I can’t binge eat or get into some retail therapy...I’m just plain grouchy. I won’t give the details because it will bore you and it may cause me to take another nerve pill.

As a quick note, I blogged about my recipe yesterday and my mom’s friend Heather suggested I make a stuffed pepper that substitutes turkey for the beef, brown rice for white and a yogurt sauce instead of cheese! That was a good idea. I’m not big on peppers but I could certainly do that the next time I stuff a zucchini or maybe a potato??? I think next week’s recipe is going to be a cheeseburger casserole...yum!

I don’t have too much to say today except that I am excited about TV right now. Most of the primetime shows are on hiatus BUT all of the best shows on HBO and Showtime are starting back and those are some of my favorites! They are all so well written and edgy and I love them.

These are some of my faves:






I love Entourage and just recently watched all of the episodes of Weeds so I’m excited for both of those to come back. True Blood is awesome and is another that I started late and just caught up on. I haven’t seen The Big C because it hasn’t started yet but it’s going to have Laura Linney in it and I love her so I am sort of already assuming that it will be one of my favorite shows.

I have a fun weekend planned. I think that my aunt and cousins may be coming this weekend so I will get to see them a bit.
My friend Whitney’s baby girl Mya is turning 2 on Saturday!



I am going to her party tomorrow and rumor has it there will be a bouncy thing...I’m pretty excited.

Then I am going to Birmingham for the night to stay with Jordan and we are going to a sing-a-long showing of Mamma Mia!

Of course Sunday I will celebrate another strict week with food and then I’m hoping to rest some Sunday night and spend time with my folks.

It should be a busy weekend. I am excited about it but I am even more excited that the next weekend will last for 3 DAYS!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Wish me luck stepping on the scales tomorrow!

“Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.” Little Boxes-Malvina Reynolds
