Maybe almonds in with the popcorn could work? No?

I sort of played hookey from work today.  It was officially sanctioned but it had a real hookey feel to it that amped up the pleasure of a weekday off. I did lots of errands – but not awful ones, and I really enjoyed my day.  Like all days off by myself, I went to the movies. I didn’t see The Hobbit like I’m dying to

Do not be fooled into thinking this is popcorn.

because I was afraid My Honey would kill me. Instead I took myself to see Jack Reacher. Personally, I can’t believe it. I have a real aversion to Tom Cruise but nevertheless the movie intrigued me. I’ve heard of Lee Child’s books and the Jack Reacher series so that overrode the obnoxiousness of Mr. Cruise.

I liked the movie. What I didn’t like was foregoing the popcorn. This stupid diet doesn’t allow for a bucket of popcorn to be consumed by oneself. I “enjoyed” my movie with 30 almonds. What kind of crap is that, I ask you?

Crap crap crappity crap – that’s what kind.

This morning I’m down 3.5 pounds so almonds it is. I’m keeping an extensive internal list of all the foods I’m going to chow down on my official cheat day.

It’s going to be epic.
