Soilent Green Is...............

I never really noticed how ubiquitous meat is until I gave it up (today's special word is: ubiquitous  See Below)

Can you say "ubiquitous"?  I knew you could!!!
I was vegan from July to Mid-September.  It got really hard.  I got worn out trying to figure out what to eat especially because I was also trying to eat a diabetic healthy diet.  I mean--- oreos are vegan.  French fries are vegan.  Sugar is vegan.  I missed cheese and eggs. I was craving protein.  I was starting to have (Chicken) breast fantasies.
So I became a Ovu-Lacto Vegetarian and I remain so to this day.  This means I eat dairy and eggs.  But no meat.   I dont like the term Ovu-Lacto because it sounds like I am performing some sort of primitive fertility ritual. 
Being a non-carnivore is a trip.
People seem slightly afraid of vegans as if it means you suffer from some vaguely mis-diagnosed mental illness.  And I even shave.  My legs AND my armpits.
Which reminds me that I noticed that La Chupa has one smooth armpit and one very hairy armpit.  I asked her why that might be.  She says that she shaved one side and she got cold so she decided not to do the other.
I SWEAR THAT IS THE TRUTH! 
She got cold.
If any of you have odd children and can relate, can I get an AMEN SISTA?
Being a vegetarian isnt quite so bad.  But it is still a lot like being the only non-drinker at a cocktail party. 
The hardest part is also a lot of why I am still holding this line:  Fast Food
If you are a vegetarian your fast food choices are very limited and for me that is a very good thing.
When I am dieting I don't like to waste calories on things that aren't a good value for the calorie.  For example I am not big on eating a crappy salad just to have something to eat.  If you want to go to lunch with me and I am not happy to eat something on the menu I will just drink myself through lunch.  Deal with it.
I know it makes you uncomfortable but I am still not going to eat a crappy salad just to make you feel better.
That is right--- dieting makes me kinda bitchy too.
And the diet isn't going all that great right now.
I am bored
I am tired of trying to figure out what to eat
I am tired of looking at a menu and seeing frickin CHICKEN ON EVERYTHING!!
Chinese CHICKEN salad
Cobb salad with CHICKEN
CHICKEN Apple Pecan salad
CHICKEN wraps
CHICKEN CHICKEN CHICKEN
(Boc bocboccccc   Boc BOC  COCKADOODLEDO)
Hrrumph!
I am okay now
I think I will go have some beans.

The results of the Phone Calls on the Potty Poll:
37% of us see no problem with talking on the phone while we are on the potty.
I hear the guys I work with talking on their cell phones all the time,  Business calls.
Okay so I hang out in front of the bathroom at work--- what of it?
50% Of us admit to answering a call only if we really have to, like if we are the President of the United States and a meteorite is heading for the Earth and you are really really important and you cant put the phone down long enough to go potty.
12% of us say No Way Parkay to chatting and tinkling.  Some people just cannot multi-task.
New poll is out:  How Do You Do Your Chocolate.
Have I ever told you that La Chupa doesn't like chocolate.
I know, right?
YOU GO VOTE ON THE POLL AND LEAVE A COMMENT DAMMIT!!  If you can use the word of the day in your comment you get extra brownie points.  Ummmm brownies.......
