um, nope.
What happened to that girl that used to party all night long, slump over in a heap at 5, sleep in all day, smear on lip gloss and do it all over again? She is gone.gone.gone. When I think back of how stupid me and my gfs all were, it’s a wonder we didn’t have the SVU involved somehow. We would hop into cars with boys we barely knew and drive forever, or at least until the next party. I don’t know what I would do if my future daughter were to do these things. I’d probably sweat and stress harder than on a day like today (it’s 109 out today eeek)!
So sue me if that same girl today extracts more pleasure out of biting into something delicious at a hole-in-the-wall joint that she just happened to stumble into or perusing through shelves lined with groceries. I dare you to call me homely. Justin Timberlake brought sexy back? I’m bringin’ homely back.
Pssst…there’s nothing to be ashamed of, my friend if you concur 
Breakfast
There’s a local place that makes all-butter croissants from scratch. You’ve probably unknowingly consumed a dozen pastries or so made with sweetex or crisco. I really like Spectrum and I’m not afraid of lard…and I don’t suppose I must reiterate my allegiance to butter.
Lunch
A type of Korean 5-grain rice, spicy potatoes and stir-fried anchovies.
Dinner
$16 Kobe Burger. Geez louise. This is what I get for being a foodaholic vs a shopaholic. Nothing left but pictures and an anorexic wallet.
Midnight Snack
How many Orchids had to die for a chocolate cheesecake, lol (yes, part of being old–er is laughing at your own jokes)
Eating followed an entire morning of going somewhere to look at more food at my local Farmer’s Market.
Sample of tabouli and falafel with baba ghanoush.
Later into the day, me and my friend rode the light rail and watched the sunset…
I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far!
Stay cool (literally and figuratively) because cool is what you make it!
Love,
Your Squishy Monster
Your post gave me nostalgic thoughts and memories. ’99! I was in college and enjoying all the freedom! =D Now with the two kids, house chores, and a blog… no energy left at all! LOL.
Gone are the days when I party everyday too. Nowadays, all I want to do is to go back home and rest… =) thanks for dropping by my blog!
of course! I hope you enjoyed your 4th!
So many great photos! Was the expensive Kobe burger worth it?
It was good but I prefer a good steak so maybe not, lol
I definitely think back on my partying days and wonder what I was thinking! I’d much rather peruse the farmer’s market!
meee too
This food looks so good that makes me hungry!!
With age comes wisdom, a greater appetite and a thicker waistline
This is what I hear =D
You caused a variety of smiles in this post.
I’m glad to hear it, Frank!
“I’m bringing homely back!!” I laughed out loud at this one. I just love it. What a wonderful day you and your anorexic wallet had!
I’m hoping to heal it back to a healthy weight soon…ooooh what’s that? a new bar of chocolate?! =D
haha. your post made me smile.. i was a bit crazy 10 years ago, maybe even 5 years ago.. did some crazy things that i would not approve of my future daughter doing. so true. it’s crazy to think that when we are in our 20s, we think we are invincible, but it’s nice to think back and say, i did that.
’tis very true, my friend =D
woohoo party!
I’ve decided to move into a walkin freezer
how is it? =D
What sounds like crazy partying and all that is all part of growing up, we all did that to some degree and your future daughter will mostly do that too, sorry but you will just have to learn to deal with it, haha.
I’m not jealous of the future me having to deal with the future offspring, lol

THAT is amazing and a testament to the great person she was! Blessed.
I hope you and yours enjoyed the 4th!
Ha, I can remember when I stayed awake for three days straight just *because*. I’m clapped out if I stay awake for more than ~16 hours now. Give me a comfortable couch and some good snacks any day
ohhhh yes, I agree!!!
wow sounds like you were quite the wild child!! i was never really like that when i was younger because my parents were really strict, but i have definitely been homely my whole life hahaha this food looks amazing!
