Me-weekend... Day 2

I spent half the day in bed. There I said it. 

I was up early to feed the kitties and to do a tiny bit of housework, and then... I went back to bed and watched television shows I normally don't have the opportunity to watch. 

Fortunately, this didn't last long because much of what I found made me feel like my braincells were oozing out of my ears. Did you know that the Kardashian sisters have a television show? Why? I mean really... Does anyone care to watch them prancing about, doing absolutely nothing at all? I don't get the appeal. Although I must credit the half-episode I watched for clearing up the whole, why-didn't-Kim's-marriage-work mystery because that dude was just a big square peg rolling around the biggest box of round holes that I've ever seen. But seriously, Kim didn't see that coming? I'm afraid I am now part of the it-was-all-for-television camp because there is no way those two could have ever been serious about making their marriage last. No way! 

I don't know how it happened but after my unfortunate Kardashian moment, I somehow ended up on a channel airing a rather gritty reality series called Dog, the Bounty Hunter. It was pretty difficult to watch because that man and his wife both looked cardiac to me. I also couldn't help wonder in what quantity they buy peroxide. I'm guessing gallons. And, for as smart as they think they are, the whole group was pretty goofy. Back in 1987, I worked at an answering service owned by a the baddest bail bondsman in Monterey County, and he didn't come home until his fugitive was caught. So I could have told Dog that leaving the hot-zone, (where they last located the suspect) to take a break in the middle of the night was a bad idea. Sure enough! No sooner was the Dog crew back home, forty-five minutes away, did they receive a call saying their target was about to be at a gas station near the location they had just abandoned. All this amateur hunting aside, I hung in there long enough to see Dog capture a fugitive missing a little finger. 

One show I don't regret watching today is Hungry Girl. I have every one of Lisa's books and love them! So when she mentioned this amazing ice cream, and that is only 150 calories for a whole pint, I was out of bed and at Whole Foods in record time!

It's called Arctic Zero! And, if you know someone that

considers a pint-size container of ice cream a bowl... Like I do

might... Then you are going to love Arctic Zero as much as I do!

I don't know how they do it, but the whole pint is just 150 calories! And, best of

all... It's 150 calories worth eating. Soooo good! Whole Foods is the only place

in my area that carries Arctic Zero, but you can find it in your area here

I like Whole Foods, but I'm first and always a Trader Joe's girl. We've been

promised a Trader Joe's for a while, and I'll never give up hoping that we get

one in our area. In the meantime, I'll keep driving to Charlotte and Raleigh

to get my Trader Joe's fix. They have the best of everything at Trader

Joe's, especially fresh-cut flowers. I've stopped hoping for great cut-

flowers at Whole Foods - Just like I've stopped hoping for great

looking produce there. But today, I was surprised with these!

There is nothing like winter Tulips in the house to

help one forget how ugly it is outside in January!

Now please excuse me while I finish Day 2 of me-weekend

with a little Arctic zero and some Football... Go Niners!
