I am so full!


I just ate basmati rice with black mushrooms. I bought it already prepared and just had to put it in the microwave for two minutes. I was able to eat almost half a plate full, thinly spread, but then I was very full and now I am burping something awful. I think I ate a little bit too much. The Überhund ate the rest and he liked it very much. There was not one grain of rice left when he was done. I looked at him in envy, because I liked it too, but I had to admit my defeat well ahead of time.

I also bought a container of nasi goreng and there is enough there for numerous meals, when I keep in mind how little I can eat. Now that I know how big my portions can be, I mustn't get too enthusiastic when I ladle them out. It's a good thing I have airtight containers for in the refrigerator.

Rice is easier to eat than noodles or pasta or potatoes. It's already very small and goes down easily, but you do have to stop eating on time lest you overeat, because that is easy to do when it goes down so smoothly. You do suffer afterwards if you eat too much and are very uncomfortable. Your whole esophagus starts to hurt and you feel like throwing up and sometimes that's the only solution.

My new boots arrived this morning. I was so excited. When I pulled them out of the box I was very worried because they looked so small and I didn't think that they would fit me, but I needn't have worried because they fit me perfectly and make my feet look smaller and hardly hurt my toe. I have been walking on them all day and they are great.

As you can see, I was smart enough to upload a picture of them so you can see for yourself what they look like.They're Tough Broad boots, while at the same time looking elegant enough to wear with a skirt or a dress. I love the high heel on them and they walk surprisingly comfortable.

I wore them grocery shopping today and I really walked around that store as if I owned the place. "Look out, here I come, I'll walk all over you." You can give somebody a good kick in their genders with those boots. Whatever body parts those are, I am innocent of such things.






These are the other boots I bought. They are totally different and more ladylike and demure. They are for my "I wouldn't hurt a fly" moods. I tread softly in these and you can see that they have no heel and no mean shit kicking toe.

This is not a Tough Broad boot, this is an "I am agreeable with the world" boot. I don't want anybody stepping on my toes when I wear these.

Now, I wonder which of these boots I am going to wear the most? I am most curious. Every day there will be a decision, who do I feel like today?

Stomping or silently stepping through life?

Well, I did go grocery shopping and tried to spend the least amount of money possible. That's my goal for this month. To get out of the grocery store with having spent he smallest amount of money possible. That means sticking strictly to the list and paying attention to the on special sale items. I have bought no cookies and no pudding. I figured I didn't need them. Especially not if I am going to loose 9 kilos, because that is the goal. I'll go for the first 4 and then work on the rest. It has to be attainable.

Now I'm going to take a little nap on the sofa. I feel one coming up.

Have a nice day, ya'll.

Ciao...

nice one. I like the idea of the boots indicating the mood. Will you warn people to watch your boots?
Love and hugs

I like the boots, they look comfy. I saw your blog via Jeannette's and added you to follow. You are very honest in your blog, I like that. Have a look at mine and follow if you wish. I am not too long blogging and enjoy it though it is all over the place with cookery and demonstrations and scenery from my home town in Ireland! (My hubby is Dutch).

The boots are really nice and are practical too.
Today has been a lovely day and Spring is definitely not far away.
Have a good evening Irene X

Oh, I would definitely go for the "tough broad boots", they look great! Been thinking about just such a pair for myself - for ages, to be honest. Problem is, I hardly ever wear the boots I already have, so it's really not worth splashing out on another pair. :(

Mean Mom said...

Great boots! I like both pairs. I have very small but wide feet. They are size 2 1/2, so I don't buy many pairs of shoes or boots, as it takes ages to find some that fit. The boots I am wearing at the moment are just past my ankles and have little hearts on the sides, because they are children's boots. Sigh. Fortunately, the little hearts are hidden by my jeans! ;0)

Ha! Love the boots and the moods they portray! I guess I am boring; I wear the same black runners nearly every day....

Reasons said...

Yes myself and the girls approve. Very nice boots! :-)

Love the 'tough' boots. Would love to wear heels but have never been able to. Those look solid though.

Tessa said...

Fabulous boots! Although I love your 'tough broad' pair, I'd have to stick with the more demure flat ones 'cos I'm already tall enough to teeter above the crowd and those would just make me stratospheric!

I like both styles, but can definitely see you striding along confidently in the pair with heels!
