I cheated on you, diet

The first day I cheated on you with some popcorn (I swear, it was only a small handful). Yesterday I cheated on you with a couple of bites of my broken cake. Today I just cheated on you with Champagne and Port flavoured wine gums.

I’m sorry, but you should take comfort in knowing that these foods were mostly worthwhile.

(Am on a diet because I am going to see my evil grandma soon. I’ll explain later.)

P.S. Wine gums are definitely worthwhile. They confuse people in the office and we can watch in amusement as they try to eat their earplugs. Yum.

They really mean it when they suggest you line the bottom of your pans with parchment paper. I cannot believe I misjudged the importance of this step.

Stay tuned for what’ll come of this hole-y mess later this week.

Monday Rants

Are we really surprised about how disgusting Fox News was? Yes. Just when you thought they couldn’t go any lower, they prove you wrong. Way to go, douchebags.

Re: Obama’s outrage about credit card companies charging 30% interest – seriously?? Honestly, it makes me a little sick of “Main Street”. First of all, it’s a Charge Card with mandatory footnotes the same size as the rest of the text that the balance must be paid in full each month. 30% annual interest rate applies to balances not paid in full. Second of all, it’s a money instrument marketed to people who accept this particular condition and are willing to accept it because of the benefits that come with it – i.e. personal concierge, travel insurances, accelerated earn rate in loyalty programs, etc. It cannot be the credit card company’s fault if someone who’s up to their ears with debt applies for the Card, miraculously gets approved for it, and then charges up a storm that they cannot afford to pay the debt off. Oh, and it just so happened genius didn’t realize how much 30% interest rate is compared to the 3.99% balance transfer rate another bank might be offering. HOW CAN I HAVE SYMPATHY FOR THIS PERSON?

The views in this post are my own and do not reflect the views of my employer or anyone working for my employer.

I’m good about footnotes since I work for a FI.
