goodbye, old girl

so as many of you know, this weekend is a way to say "so long, farewell,auf wierdersehen, goodbye" to summer. and how do we do this? we eat. i have eaten so much and its only saturday. the real eating doesn't even start til tomorrow! yesterday i arrived at my bestie aubre's parents house by the beach and the spread was already out and totally yummy. we noshed on that until dinner came out and we continued eating deliciousness for an hour or so at a graze pace. then the dessert came out. i don't know exactly what it was. neither did aubre's mom as she told us " i just got the recipe out of a box." no matter if it came out of a box, a bag, or it appeared in one of those posters you stare at til you see an object like a ship or something jump out of a mess of squiggly lines - it had peanut butter, chocolate, and crushed up oreo as a crust of sorts. it might as well have been crack-cocaine it was so good. after we slid into food comas on the sofas for a bit and listened to aubre's mom chastise a minor of her misuse of proper nouns in the game bananagrams we went to that mecca of sea isle city night life, The OD (The Ocean Drive). needless to say i had to stop at the neighboring wawa for a slushie and a sandwich on the way home. i was too stuffed for breakfast this morning so i just wrecked up some orange juice and got down with lunch on the promenade by the beach we aubre and i met my eldest sister and her beau. we split an order of bread sticks as an appetizer and i sampled a slice of the pizza my sister beau ordered and then devoured my own grilled cheese sandwich. i was on the road for dinner so i'll probably eat something delish and awful for me before bed and rally the tummy troops for the cook-out tomorrow at my dad's. yep, labor day weekend. its that time of year when i eat like a bear about to hibernate. difference is, instead of not eating while i sleep for months and my body sustains life on the fat i have stored, i store the fat but stay awake and continue eating while i suppress the feelings of self-loathing and do countless hours of cardio to loose the weight only to then be faced by the holiday food extravaganza. yay, america!
