Poverexic in NYC

Went to a screening of “He’s Just Not That Into You” (HJNTIY) last night (PR’s got the hook UP). I was starving and hadn’t eaten anything since my boss’ leftover sandwich and a bite of PB cookie. But there was nothing else to eat and no time to lose and we had to run out of work to the theater to catch the screening. Boss snuck in a Chipotle burrito (jealous!) but obviously I couldn’t ask her for leftovers twice in one day. I would only do that do my friends.

Let me digress a bit to talk briefly about this movie that is the next SATC for women everywhere. The cast was fantastic, but let me just say… this movie will cause women all around the world, for the rest of their lives moving forward, to make analogies between their own lives and HJNTIY:

• “Omg but don’t you think X and I could totally be like Ginnifer Goodwin and Justin Long in HJNTIY in that at the beginning he’s ________________, but then he’s really _______________?”
• “Do you think my situation is kinda like Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck in HJNTIY in that eventually he’ll _____________, even though we’ve been _______________?”
• “I really think I can be like Scarlett Johansson from HJNTIY and make him __________________!”

Was so starving and annoyed by the time I left the theater that I went and bought myself a few beers and banged T because it was the only way to get my mind off my hunger and annoyance.

6:30pm

GASP. OH NO.

9:30 am

My lil sis came in town last weekend and made me some blueberry muffins, mini donuts and chocolate-oatmeal cookies that are delicious (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and that I’ve been trying to save through the week as much as possible. I ate one blueberry muffin this morning. And a cookie because I was still starving. Hopefully I’ll be able to pace myself enough to keep these through next week.

1:27 pm

Boss just gave me her leftover chicken sandwich and humongoid peanut butter cookie!!!!! Who even cares about salmonella if it’s free?!?!? Heart boss!

3:46 pm

Found some leftover salad drenched in dressing in the kitchen. It was so good I went back for seconds because no one else seemed to be touching it. Then, I also spotted a lonely box of leftover white rice sitting on the counter. Slowly left the kitchen…

3:48 pm

Contemplating taking that box of white rice.

3:51 pm

Went back to kitchen… box of white rice still there…

5:44 pm

White rice is gone (DAMMIT) — but chips and salsa/guac, popcorn, margaritas and Corona at the office!!! AND karaoke! heart office.  This will be my dinner for tonight.

Super Bowl Sunday is a poverexic girl’s dream come true — endless loads of pizza, wings, beer, nachos, 7 layer dip, etc.

This is what we had at our SB party:

Deliciousness

Not really.

But I did spend 4 straight hours last night eating meat-zza, a mini pizza, a tomato/basil pizza, wings, chips and guac, chips and salsa, BBQ Lays, and pretzel chips. Who even gives a shit about Santonio Holmes when you’ve got endless wings and pizza?!?!??! (unless, of course, you’re talking about the “Santonio Holmes Shower” pic — incred)

Yesterday I spent all day shooting instructional videos for Gradspot and made $40!  So I bought myself the best bloody mary ever at Wicker Park after the shoot and a pitcher of sangria later that night at Agave.  Even scored some extra nutritional value from that celery stick and olive in my bloody mary and all that fresh fruit in my sangria!  When you’re living on a tight budget, you’ve got to pick and choose wisely on what you spend your money on.

Behold a conversation morning after between an anorexic and a poverexic:
