Burgers for Dinner: Catch and Release

If you can't tell by the little pitiful sick-looking troll doll duck dust bunny wad of grass creature in the post below, I've been kind of  

{OUT OF IT} 

this week.

[Quick thanks to Mr. Dot for hopping online Sunday night and posting that for me so no one thought I drowned in cupcake batter]

[Another quick moment to think about how awesome it would be to drown in cupcake batter]

Death by Cupcake.

Bring it on.

Sunday, though, did not feel like "Death by Cupcake."  Sunday just felt like death.

Thanks to a [poorly cooked?] hamburger eaten the night before at a local joint down the street, I spent over 17 hours hugging the porcelain throne [of death].

Dramatization:

Gracias, Altered Barbie

Though at the time I found nothing especially enlightening about the whole situation, now that I have regained my sea land-legs, I am trying to gain a fresh perspective.

Therefore, I'm actually thankful for the tainted  
||BURGER-of-DOOM||
because:

•  I lost 4 pounds (which I may or may not have gained back since I've begun eating again) 

(read: since I've been able to keep more than a single Wheat Thin in my stomach)

•  I gained a personal, one-on-one relationship with the floor just under the sink ledge that I did not have before

(and have subsequently Swiffered, sprayed, and washed every inch of it thoroughly)

•  I am no longer tempted by the thought of eating burgers or fries

(at least, for the time being...)

For a while there, in fact, I actually considered that perhaps the  

VSTADAEOOWT Diet 

["Vomit-Seven-Times-A-Day-And-Eat-Only-One-Wheat-Thin" Diet]

 was going to be the diet for me, but then I remembered one key thing:

I like food going down better than coming back up.

Ah well, can't win 'em all.

In the meantime, though -- keep your fingers crossed and do that praying thing again.  I had a second interview at a bakery down the street (not this cupcake place, though -- they're still not open!  Dunno what's going on there...) that I'm so excited about.  I've been trying to get my resume in there since we first moved up here and all of a sudden they started hiring just a couple weeks ago so the timing was perfect.  I should hear back sometime tomorrow or Saturday.

GAH!!
