What's happening in Greenwich, CT?

This is a 20 million dollar home, maybe they ran out of money and could not buy a rug that fit.





If I sat here I would have a martini in my hand.

FUG.

This is not redone! This is leftover from decades ago!  Do not change a thing!

This is an 18 million dollar home.  They purchased their bedspread from the Miami Red Roof Inn.

I love almost everything. I would change the window treatments and take them off the doors. I do not like the art or the globe or the lights. The chairs all need redone. I would drink  a white wine spritzer in here.

Can you take it? I can't.

If you live in CT you can pretend you live in England. I would probs have an affair with the gardener on those steps.

Early morning coffee before the kids get up and/or the gardener arrives.

Wants to be from Kensington and Chelsea, but still from a place near Target and Costco.

Don't even talk to me about this. Just imagine walking out there in your bare feet.

Do you want to live here?  Forget it.  It's not in the cards. You can go on realtor.com and drool, but that is all.

Anti-social eating behavior

This is defined as a pain in the ass orderer in a restaurant, or someone who has obviously obsessed over the menu, or someone at the table who orders something that could be deemed as "diety" when the rest of the party orders as normal individuals.

An extreme case of anti-social eating behavior is when one will fake sick or busy in order to avoid a compromising ordering situation.

Also known as me at our division's quarterly birthday lunch.

Me-"I will have a vegetable roll and a cup of hot and sour soup."

Everyone else-"We will have all things tasty and delicious.  Please bring us mango and green curries and california rolls.  Oh, don't forget the pad thai!"

Everyone else-" Hey WW, how is your lunch."

Me-"It's fucking awful so good, I love this place."

A quick update...

I cannot progress past week three of my running program.  I am stuck, but I have not given up.  Also the only thing that gets me through WW is cheat night.

Cheat night allows pizza, booze and chocolate. Cheat night is my favorite day of the week and the day you will find me in the best mood. I could wreck my car and still be smiling on cheat night.  On a WW night I may run out of wiper fluid and murder someone.

Why is food so intertwined with my happiness factor?  This is not Naturally Thin thinking and Frankel would not approve.

Even though I have lost 10 pounds, I still do not enjoy my new lifestyle. I still crave crap food and I have yet to experience a high from my treadmill.

Diet Dictionary

paleolithic diet:  This consists of lean and organic meat, seafood, copious amounts of fruits and vegetables, and a good portion of healthy fats from nuts and heallthy oils.

Who makes this up?  Who determines what is what?

I am on a roll

On Oprah's website, viewers were invited to share their food rules.

Chia seeds! These tiny seeds are a superfood that is uniquely versitile. They are rich in clean fats and protien and contain essential minerals like calcium and potassium. Can be added to salads, yogurt, oatmeal...almost anything. The taste is very bland so they do not effect the flavor of your food. The best use for them I have found is to mix a 1:3 ratio of seeds to water to form a thick gel. Mix in nuts, coco powder, sunflower seeds or other whole grains to make a nutrient rich bar. No cooking nessisary - just let set for a few hours or overnight. When soaked in water the chia seed forms a gell that slows digestion of carbohydrates and sugars. This is great for endurance athletes and diabetics who need a stable release of energy over time. Also helps with hydration as the chia gel holds 12 times its weight in water.

As in Chia Pet seeds??

What's happening in ...?

As I have said before, one of my favorite past times is to browse around on Realtor.com.  This is my Internet porn. I love to pick a city and get a sense of the design in that area.  F to the U to the N. Today we will take a gander in the Lakewood section of Dallas, TX.  Lakewood is swank. It takes money to live there, the average home is anywhere from 800,000 to 1,000,000 and I think that is borderline poor by Texas standards. Let's see if we are impressed.

If I lived here I would keep it real with hot dogs and beer in cans.

Even richies hide crap under their bed

This is not arranged appropriately. If it were, this room would be awesome.

Please note that someone bothered to use excess custom fabric left over from chairs to cover the decorators table with. Ha!

Look at these clothes.  I hope a Tranny lives here, if not, then it's just unacceptable.



This is nice! Can you picture yourself reading here?  I read in the tub, but if I had a reading nook like this I would use it.

Truthfully, it was slim pickens' in Lakewood.  Lots and lots of money, but no design. Next stop-New England!
