Being Bad Can Be Good (And Fun and Fattening!)

I very, seldom, if ever, need a reason/excuse to eat and/or go on a binge but I had a few today so I used them!!!
I
really was going to be very good this week and stick to my diet so that
when I went into the hospital the surgeon would have less fat to deal
with BUT then the following happened:

1) I realized that I could die on the operating table next Monday--OH! HUSH!!--if I want to play the sympathy/guilt card, I will--so I better eat what I want this week.
2) Jill has agreed to take my birds over to her house so I started getting the cages ready--the first thing I did was move the tiels
from their large cage to a smaller cage--hey, I'm bringing 5 cages over
to her place and she has just so much room--remember she has birds,
also.

After I put the tiels in the
smaller cage--and they went without any problem!!!--I moved their big
cage over to the end of the room and realized I was covering half the
TV set so I moved it at an angle.  As I turned around and started to
walk into the kitchen I heard a crash---
Yes!! The TV had fallen off the stand and landed on the floor--there went the TV!!! All the wires broke off and, needless to say but I will say it, the TV didn't work anymore. Panic Time!!! "Big Brother" was starting a new season tonight and I didn't ahve a TV!!!.  But I have friends--I called Gino to cry on his shoulder and he said he had a 13" TV and brought it over to save the day!

3) Babs, our
social services administrator, who is always getting me sweets, husband
has been fighting cancer and lost the battle yesterday. She is a
special lady and I know she is hurting.

4)
I've had had my eye on a sofa bed that I wanted to buy--I was talking
to the manager and he said if he hadn't sold it by today he would come
down on the price. I went there this afternoon and the sofa bed had
been sold!!

5) The rains came pouring down. Plus Allen comes home tomorrow (I am glad) and I have to give the car back to him (that's bad!)
I decided with all this that since I had some credit left on my The Cheesecake Factory gift certificate (Thanks again, Chris) and
someone had mentioned their banana cream cheesecake I would console
myself with all my troubles by going there. Sorry, but the cheesecake
was disappointing--it consisted of their regular cheesecake (which is
great) but nothingbananarish about it except the sliced bananas served with it.

Feeling
disappointed--well I dd eat it all including the whipped cream!!!--I
decided to stop at the supermarket and get a snack to make me get over
thedisappopintment of all the above.

I
got a big of potato chips--no salt, of course--1/2 gallon of butter
pecan ice cream and a 12 ounce bag of chocolate chip cookies. They were
all the store brand and all together only cost $5--
How could it be fattening or unhealthy?!?!? Hey, you use your logic and I'll use mine!!!  LOL










Well I have 6 days to undo all of it--sure, like I'm not going to have a 'last few items' just in case I die--as I said before OH! HUSH!! I'm using my guilt/sympathy card!!  :O)

I'm sure you already read what I had to say about all of this, so there's no reason for me to repeat it all...but, if you don't mind, I'd love to have a bite of the ice cream, a cookie, and a small handful of chips, please.
