My Car Almost Got Blown Off the Road
Hi.
Jesus the weather is insane today! It’s like 60+ degrees, pouring rain, and windy as all get out. A wind gust nearly shoved my car off a 6-lane highway this morn.
Hey WIND. I have to drive my very Light and Fuel Efficient car RIGHT next to one of the Nation’s largest rivers every.single.day on my commute to work. I’d APPRECIATE it if you wouldn’t shove my car INTO the River.
Youstupidfucker.
Kthxbye.
Breks!
- eggwhites with peppers + onions + red pepper flakes
- hot sauce
- laughing cow cheese
- toasted english muffin
- lobster tin mug coffee
Ok Erin. I know that you think the lobster tin mug is supa cute and all. But surely your readers are beyond bored of seeing it every morning. Oh, and, they GET that you eat eggwhites all.the.time. Maybe think about mixing it up a little, eh?
Yesterday we got back from our Philly road trip just in time for a full day of playoff games and Sunday night pizza.
- mushroom pizza from a thankgodwefoundit decent PA pizza place
- tossed spinach salad
- diet root beer
Congrats to the Colts and Saints. Twill be a decent Super Bowl, I’m thinking.
I spent Saturday-Sunday with my sista at her spot in Philly. She and her hubby have the city’s BEST apartment for the price, location, and square footage. Nearly 1300 ft2! 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms! In a city! For a reasonable price! I love it (I also used to live here, and hence will ALWAYS love it!).
A few snaps of her place…

The best part! Truman!!!! Her mixed mini dwarf bunny!
We spent the weekend solo, no boys atall. It was marvey!
Sunday lunch = Erin being a good healthy girl.
- mushroom burger + pickles + ketchup + mustard in a ww pita
- organic spring mix salad with cashews and lite Italian dressing
Between this and Breks, we had some grown-up chats about Life and some judgmental, fun girl chats about life. 
Breks!
- veggie sausage + eggbeaters + LC cheese on ww mini bagel
- banana with low fat PB
- coffee ala dragonfly
Saturday we spent catching up on Life and we also took a nice powerwalk around an urban stormwater wetland complex not too far from her apartment. We didn’t even see any homeless dudes or crazies or crackheads, which was nice.
And we didn’t see Handbags, her neighborhood crackhead who wears chemistry lab goggles and carries anywhere from 1 to 5 ladies handbags. We usually spot him shuffling down her street or sitting on a bench outside her building, adorned in handbags (sometimes he wears them around his neck), talking to himself or yelling at traffic.
I love him.
I had a fab weekend with my best friend. 
Ciao peeps.
Er
