Pig-Out Fridays

So I’ve been stuffing my face every Friday since I was a teenager and I was left alone to my own devices while my parents went out to play bingo (yes, I said BINGO). I’m not obese in the slightest because I eat healthily for the majority of the week but on Friday’s, something just snaps and I end up with my head in the refridgerator for the majority of the evening. 

So, I’m going to keep track of what I eat every Friday evening, and see if it changes.

Tonight I ate:

• 1 tablespoon of pineapple fluff
• 1 piece of chocolate tart
• 1 slice of bread and butter
• 1/2 a 6oz sirloin steak
• 2 cans of coke

BURP! I’m good for another week

Tornados

I got to see my first tornado close up today. I mean we weren’t being storm chasers or anything but we were across the free way and we could see the funnel touch down on the fields around the airport. And first it was heavy rain and then it was hail, and I got to hear my first tornado siren. I was geeked It took forever to drive through because everyone was driving like morons trying to get home asap, but we pulled over on the freeway and I got to watch it in progress. It only touched down for about 10 seconds and there wasn’t any damage but it was so much fun. I sat there with my hands on the window and enthralled like a little kid. 

Driving home, we saw less and less cars on the freeway- which was strange considering that it was rush hour. The festival grounds were closed even though it was the opening day of Pride Fest. The lake was still and I’d never seen it like that before. Big black clouds were ominously hanging over Lake Michigan, like they were waiting for something to happen. 

And then after it was all over, the sun came out and the clouds cleared away…and the temperature shot up about twenty degrees. Insane.

It’s absolutely amazing the wrath Mother Nature has
