Frosting Fix-It

Yesterday registers as one of the top five worst work days of my entire career. It sucked so bad. I left a client meeting and burst into tears. I sobbed for more than 30 minutes. Then I pulled myself together and went to paddling practice. Because I'll be damned if work will take over my entire life.

At home later I felt teary again and was slightly consoled by frosting. I reached for that one-quarter-full tub of cream cheese frosting and dug my spoon in. And it helped. It really lightened the sting of the day. I know you know where I'm coming from.

And now, at 10am the next day at work, I'm nursing a Starbucks Chai Latte.

My point is... In addition to making me cry my heart out, work is also going to make me fat. And that makes me doubly mad.

You're 'carb-loading'. You NEED all those wonderfully sugary calories to do all the studly paddling you do!! At least that's what I tell myself when I have my mocha....

Icing has a ton of calcium which is good for your bones, and a chai is just really tea when it comes down to it, so you are actually doing your body a favor! :) Miss you tons my friend and hope to connect with you soon! XOXO Jaisy

JJ, I don't think you'll ever be fat. Phat maybe... but never the overwight definition. And for the record I agree with Jaisy about calcium. At least that is what I tell myself ;)
