Sh*t Dowager Countesses Say

HA!!

Are you watching Downton Abbey? If not, you should.

I’ve made a bunch of stuff, mostly recipes, and I’ve made a bunch of stuff for people from the sight. I get a lot of questions about where I get all my recipes and thought maybe I should start highlighting some of my favorites for those of ya’ll not following my excessive amount of pins. Sometimes the pins gets lost in the madness, so to help with that, I thought I’d start reviewing some of my favorites.

First up, last nights dinner.

Enchilada Casserole. (http://pinterest.com/pin/223209725251050350/)

P hates beans. And I hate sour cream, so that means none of that made it into our casserole. And I didn’t have any cumin…or italian dressing…or cilantro… but…it was fine without it…probably better with…. but I work with what I have . I added the fresh tomatoes on my half/ left them off of P’s, but in the end it was easy, it was yummy, and i’d make it again.

So anyways, on to my story. Today, we moved back to client site after nearly 2 months of them doing “Renovations” to make the place look “better”. It’s a call center. Short cubes, people everywhere, grey walls, you get the idea, it was better before. Anyways, they didn’t put a break room back into the office…cool. So today, I went snooping for a microwave before I knew this, and I found one…behind meanies cube up against a window…SO i thought hmmm that must be for everyone since its out in the open…so i scurried up to it all smiley like and didn’t notice when I guess meanie said some comment under her breath (Im assuming it was ….who do you think you are…or what are you doing…or b* back the bleep off my fun cooker). But, there was a sticker that said 5th floor…so I didn’t think anything of it. Until I felt the EYES. Those mean mean eyes that are the entryway of all that is evil. SO i politely asked if this was for everyone? No answer, just eyes, neck retreat and the head bob of “get the flip away”. SO I politely apologized and scurried as fast as possible away…eating my cold lunch in horror.

I can’t even put into the words the horror this woman puts into my soul. No longer will I be eating hot lunches on client site day…cold meals for me…simply to avoid ever having to walk near the microwave nazi again! I will miss you hot lunches, but its worth it to me if I never have to come in contact with those vicious, deamon-y eyes.

My only joy in this situation is knowing all the radiation that is seeping into her cube….ha. Enjoy your hot meals with a side of cancer. Justice.

It’s finally cold. Really cold…really..really…freeze your face off cold.

To avoid the cold for a few, Mom and I spent saturday hiding in a movie theater watching the Iron Lady (epic movie…epic). Then we scurried up the hill to grub on some oversize grilled cheese and tomato soup at Serendipity. Home of the $1,000 sundae and frozen hot chocolates. Which confuses me…hot chocolate is suppose to be hot…to make you warm…not freeze you from the inside out. I’ll pass.

But, I am plugging the Vidal Sassoon Documentary I just recently watched.

Have netflix streaming? well you are in luck. Its awesome.

I find it annoying. I find it gross. I find it stupid, yes I’m that mature that I’m saying exercising is stupid. I don’t fall for the yoga or pilates trend. Zumba? to me that’s just an excuse for those without rhythm to dance and shake their bums to music. P90X? more like P90Idrathernot.

I’m going to pay for this one day, I fully know that I will become a 6 foot, overweight giant due to my aversion to exercise but whatever. I walk. I walk everywhere, and I walk fast. I shall count that as my own form of “physical activity” oh and the 10 lb weights I pick up and randomly do 10X a day. Maybe those count. But cardio? Psht, unless there’s  a volleyball in my hand with the chance of breaking someones nose or tap shoes on my feet…count me OUT.

But, what I don’t get is why everyone needs to talk about how much they exercise all the time. Yes, you ran today. Kudos to you. I did not. I wont tomorrow either…or the next day…or the next… (yes theres a pattern). Oh you feel so great after your 10 mile run? Or your 250 abs of steel exercise? Or your zumba,yoga,pilates,spinning,whatever? Good for you, but stop telling us. We all know you’re only telling us because you want someone to say “good for you” or to obnoxiously like it 10 times. No one likes it. They’re all secretly mad at you for being so damn energetic and in shape.

I respect those who exercise, mostly because I hate it. I respect those who run marathons, and triathlons and what not because I can not (or i can’t without dying). I’ve had many a friends run many marathons/half’s/triathlons, and I am so supportive, ya’ll rock. P and I ran a 10k 2 years ago, we all remember how well THAT went….

But mostly, I respect those who feel no desire to share it every hour or every day. They just get up in the morning, run their 10 miles, and move on with their day and instead of a wasteful post on how much they ran or lifted, they share a witty youtube video to give me a giggle. Those are my peeps. Those people make the social media world a happier place.

I have strong opinions of this, mostly because I’m jealous that you’re in shape and that I am a lazy slob, but also because there is a growing “over sharing” culture budding in social media that drives me NUTSTHHHHH (yes, I said that in a Makenzie voice, we all watched this week right? gf is getting tamer with age…not good).

Your sick? Go to the doc, I don’t need to hear about the amount of mucous in your nose or the inability for your food to stay safely in your body for the appropriate amount of time. Your having a bad day? Sad for you, but keep the passive aggressive, uninformative posts to a never should happen. You just ran for 8 hours? I hate you. I just watched 8 hours of How I met your mother and felt great about it. So there.

I know you’re confused and thinking, but Lindsey, you’re a public health guru who is strongly supportive of any activity to make people healthier and decrease the obesity epidemic in our country. You are correct. Like I said, I think its great you exercised today, thanks for helping to keep yours and my health care costs down, but for all that is holy, please…stop…excessively….talking…about…it…..PLEASE.
