+.+ there are too many popsicle sticks in my desk drawer

Well hello everyone. It's been about a week since I've posted I think, and honestly I'm okay with that. Sometimes I'll post three, four times a week and sometimes I'll post every couple weeks. I think I make too big a deal about "getting back on track" and whatnot, so now I've decided to take a more relaxed attitude about it. So now I'm posting for the first time in December, which is good I guess /: ?? Either way, lets get right into it! (Btw, all of you would probably think I'd have some big thanksgiving post, but no. I'm not going to get into that right now [80/20], just know that I only have one topic for the holiday).

So, before I actually ate "Thanksgiving Dinner", there were a few things put out as snacks until the main meal was finished cooking. All of the food, fruit platter, fruit and cheese platter, Chex mix, etc., was all very nice, except for one thing: the whole nuts bowl. I wanted to DIE! I have never been able to use a nutcracker, and now I still cant. That's just grand, because I really wanted some almonds but those were the only ones! So I tried, and tried; I must have gone through 10-12 nuts until I just gave up. Above is the remains of all my failed attempts -.-

Anyway, the next morning, I went "Black Friday" shopping....and not for Christmas gift either. I wanted stuff for myself, so I bought a new comforter and sheets for my bed, and I also got some new stuff from express. On my way back home, I stopped at Dunkin Donuts for breakfast. I normally dislike fast food breakfast (McDonald's, Burger King, etc.) but I really like DD breakfasts. While I did not get any actual doughnuts, I did get an egg and cheese on a croissant, a strawberry cream cheese egg bagel, a hot chocolate, and hash browns. I always over eat at breakfast time, examples: here, here :P

On Sunday, I ended up going to Delaware, again, but this time was a bit more interesting, with all the Christmas decorations, me not getting put out of the casino like usual, and the fact that I actually ate real food while I was there besides stale pretzels!

I have this problem, and I think the cause of it is that I see something I really want to eat, and I just go ahead an buy a regular sized portion. But then I think "What if I want more?! What if one just isn't enough!??", so I buy the largest size they have, and then I only take three bites before I realize "I don't want this anymore". That's kinda what happened here. The caramel apple crumble gelato at the casino cafe was really good at first, but after about five minutes, not so much. The caramel started to taste like butter to me, and I kept thinking that the apple chunks had fallen on the floor; all things that led up to me throwing it in the garbage mere seconds later.

There was also a Godiva there, so I went ahead and bought some chocolate. I wish I had waited before I ate four pieces to take the picture, but you get a pretty good idea of what I was eating here.
Okay, so let me tell you all about the foulness that is the holiday brick thingy. I couldn't remember the actual name, but I wanted to vomit after I had eaten it. It tastes like a reindeer ate potpourri egg nog, and Christmas lights, and spit out this. It was just so nasty, please don't buy it.

Ashley got a paper funnel filled with chocolate strawberries, but I couldn't eat any because they were milk chocolate, and I despise milk chocolate. Plus, she found one with a strawberry that looked like boobs o.O

And this takes us to our final picture, "The Boss" pizza at a restaurant of which I was too careless to remember the name. I would have loved to tell you that it was a delicious white pizza topped with roasted tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, and basil, with a great picture to accompany it. Unfortunately, I cant because I don't have a real camera. I am tired of the iPhone camera, only because there is no flash, and a lot of restaurants have dim lighting; which means I either have to take the food outside to take a decent picture of it, or I have to take on like this. DIM. I need a real camera, particularly one with macro settings. That is why I'm getting a job next month once I'm done with this school. -.-
More tomorrow :D
