Sleep And 17 Million Calories – The Weekend of Champions
Posted By Kristabella on May 4, 2008
This is where I should wax poetically about how my weekend was absolutely fan-flippin-tastic and make sure I regale you with stories about my fabulous life complete with drunken tales and inherent falling.
But instead, I can tell you that I slept for more than half the weekend. Literally. Friday night I notched in 14 hours of sleep, Saturday night I added 10 and Sunday afternoon I took a few naps. Whatever is wrong with me, I really need to get it fixed A-SAP. Good thing I’m heading to the doctor on Thursday to get this all a-figured out.
I did cram in some things in the few short hours I was awake. Those things do NOT involve any kind of washing of dishes or cleaning of any kind. I only did my laundry because I had no clean pants and I may have already worn all 5 pairs of my work pants twice since the last washing. And even sloth has its limits.
I am almost finished with Jen’s new book, Such A Pretty Fat. And yes, I already looked ahead for my name (Chapter 15!) and am actually past it (Chapter 15!) and have read it in context now. It does not disappoint and I’d read a cereal box if she wrote it. Because I love me some cereal.
My friend Schwerer dragged me out of my sleepy stupor to go see a movie and have dinner Saturday night. We saw Baby Mama. It was awesome. I love Tina Fey so much I would have her baby just so she could realize we’re meant to be BFFs and also maybe to lick her face. Just a little.
Since Friday evening, I have consisted on nothing but comfort food, aka artery-clogging, creamy, greasy goodness. It all started when I started having weird cravings at work on Friday. (No. Not pregnant. No, there isn’t even a slightest chance. Yes, I’m sure. I do not have the gestational period of an elephant, as much as my ass resembles said beast.)
Any-hootie, I was craving pot pie. It was a rainy day and I was sleepy. (Hey! Have I mentioned how sleepy I’ve been lately? Because I wouldn’t want to forget to tell all of you that I’ve totally been EXHAUSTED lately. Because I have.) So I decided that since I had no plans because I’m a sleepy spinster with two cats and seven arms and no teeth, that I’d stop at the grocery store on my way home, grab some comforting comfort food and catch up on my TiVo. Could there be a better evening spent on planet Earth? No. There isn’t.
As I started dreaming and drooling about the pot pie I would be eating in a few hours (who actually CRAVES pot pie, really?) (Don’t say pregnant women), I started thinking about other delicious comfort food that I had to have. Right. Then.
The final grocery store trip left me with a pot pie, Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Mac and chicken nuggets. Because I already had ice cream in the freezer at home.
I ate way too much and was happier than fat girl in a cupcake store. It was a good night.
I added some vegetables at dinner on Saturday night, but topped off my weekend on Sunday with leftover Hamburger Helper, more chicken nuggets, French toast and tater tots.
Please remind me of this when I bitch tomorrow because my pants don’t fit.

I’m reading Chapter 15 first.
I went OUT this weekend and I DRANK this weekend but then my husband, the sneaky bastard, drank more than me while I was off shooting pics and I had to stop so I could drive us home.

Me too. Absolutely. I’d sleep around the clock if someone would let me.

maybe you’re catching up on sleep that you missed while in vegas? I know that when I was tried all the tired…I was very anemic and had to start taking iron pills. All good now. Anywho…just a thought.
Hope the pot pie was good. =)

Girl. Hamburger Helper is nasty. And what kind of pot pie were you talking about? Where I come from in Michigan pot pie is a sort of stew in a pie crust. Best made by my deceased Grandmother. When she was alive, of course, as the thought of eating something that my Zombie Grandmother made is rather creepy. But here in Pennsylvania pot pie is actually the same stew with noodles in it. The noodles are what makes the pot pie out of the pot pie. I haven’t drank enough in the past 10 years to fully understand what the hell these Pennsylvania Dutch freaks are talking about.
Namaste.

Hamburger Helper I have to say ewwwww.
Stay away from that stuff!!
You’re not the only person that slept all weekend. Ugh.

I think we live in some kind of parallel universe where we do the exact same things, but in different states. With the following adjustments, you and I had the exact same weekend (did I mention that I LOVE lists?!?):
1. Book- Friday Night Knitting Club
2. Movie- Iron Man
3. Hamburger Helper- Frosted Mini Wheats
Wacky!
Ok… I found you thru Muse 🙂 I think I love you.

Just as soon as I win that book in your contest…I’ll get right to chapter 15!!!
And I LOVE hamburger helper!!!!
Dude, I slept 12 hours Friday night, and it was blissful. (2 hours on the couch, and the rest in my comfy bed.)
And then got close to 10 on Saturday… but only 8 last night. But I still feel pretty damn good!

Dude, I slept my weekend away, too. It must have been something in the air. Of course, all that sleeping means I have to rush home from work tonight to do my laundry, cause otherwise I’m going to have to do the whole turn-the-panties inside out trick.

Yes, hamburger helper is gross. That hasn’t stopped me from craving it in the past. I LOVE your comfort food menu.
Mmmmmm…comfort food! It’s the best, isn’t it?? Are you pregnant??? I’m just joking! Jeez, I hate when people make those comments. Like just because you have a uterus and wear loose flimsy shirts that look eerily like maternity shirts and you like to eat strange combinations like sour cream and steak…..YOU MUST BE PREGNANT!!!
Will I will the book contest if I tell you that I will mention you in EVERY ONE OF MY CHAPTERS??? (not that I’m actually writing a book at this point, but hey, who reads the small print anyway??)

Pot Pies AND Tater Tots! Sounds like heaven. I can’t wait to read about you in Jen’s book. You’re famous!

I went to my aunt’s this weekend and she made these nut rolls that she’s made since I was a wee child. They are totally a comfort food for me and I’ve eaten about 80 hundred of them.

This weekend I went to get ice cream and took Dingo Girl for a long, long, walk around the park. I was hoping to make her tired enough so that she would sleep all day so I could get some work done. Not good. I was on the Kristabella sleep plan and ended up sleeping the rest of the afternoon!

mmmm….chicken pot pie. I totally crave them and I’m not preggers either. I love Marie Calander’s! They make the best ones!

Pepperidge Farm pot pies. I had one last week. I think they are, literally, around 600 calories each. I love them. All 600 calories of them.
I want an update as soon as you know what’s going on.
Candy’s last blog post..This City Never Sleeps
I went to the doctor a few weeks ago because I was so Tired All The Time. (Nevermind the fact that I have two kids – I was going to bed and falling asleep by 8:30 and sleeping until 5:30, yet still. so. tired.) Anyway. They took a shitload of blood from me, ran all sorts of tests, and found out my Vitamin D level was very low. So make sure you mention a vitamin defiency to your doctor – I did and that’s why she added a few more tests to the blood work. And, you know, since it sounds like you eat like I do (go comfort food) you might want to have the doc. check out your vitamin levels. Oh yeah – the best part – I got this super-dose of vitamin D that I take once a week – and the side effects include “an increase in energy.” yeah. go me!
Good luck at the doc.

Nothing wrong with a weekend of sleep… the pot pie on the other hand… well, my colon begs to differ.
