Alright, so a lot of you know I’m obsessed with the makeover shows: TLC “Makeover Story,” “Extreme Makeover,” “The Swan,” and Discovery Health Channel’s “Plastic Surgery: Before and After.” It’s sick, I know. The thing is I don’t watch it because I think it’s a good thing. I watch it because I like fast changes, drastic comparisons, for the same reason I watch Home Renovation shows on TLC and HGTV.
But what I’ve discovered from watching the Plastic Surgery shows is that I have been working out more and running more and trying to get into better shape for one main reason. At my age I can reverse the damage I’ve done to my body and hopefully not suffer any irreparable side products. Mainly all the people I see that have lost weight on these shows are having to get all the extra skin removed that wouldn’t snap back into shape. This has a lot to do with rapid weight loss, but also skin elasticity and age.
My point? I don’t ever want to feel like I permanently ruined my body by letting it get too big to recover from. So even though you think watching these shows would brainwash me into believing it’s no big deal to have work done, in actuality it makes me NEVER want to go under a knife and instead to work my ass off so I don’t look back and say, “Why’d I let myself go?”
So there it is. Nothing special.
I don’t watch those makeover shows, but I feel the same way. Being so heavy made me feel older, so I think in part I did the weight loss thing because hey, I’ll be old when I’m old, man. Then I’ll age relatively gracefully.. without facelifts that make my beard grow behind my ears kenny rogers style.. yuk.
MY PIZZA DREAMS
Okay, Okay, I know many of you are aware of my love affair with pizza: Round Pizza, Square Pizza, even some of those instant Pizza’s. Alright, Alright I know it’s kind of weird but I like Pizza! So, the other day I was on my way to work when I stopped off to pick up a Pizza on my way to work. Anyway, as I was watching the guy load on my favorite toppings: Sausage, Sausage, and more Sausage 🙂 It hit me: Why not make your own Godamn Pizza!
But then I realized, this would mean having to get up in the morning. Argh. Those of you who know me know I love the bed! And making Pizza (especially breakfast Pizza) means no more late nights for the Anonymous poster.
So to make a short story even longer, I am now getting my ass out of the rack at the ungodly hour of 2:30 AM every morning except Tuesday. And the best part? I get to make my own Pizza! (and I save money) So anyone up for some coffee flavored breakfast Pizza?
Okay, so I have to admit, I appreciate the Anon Posters entry because I hate my posts and think they are boring and simple-minded and “how can anyone want to read this crap” kind of writing as well. Kudos to the Anon. for a well done mock-up of my post.
Coffee Pizza though, not a bad thought. Except I don’t like Pizza.
Not that I was doubting this anymore since that one comment, but I wanted to point out that the IP address the ANON uses tracks back to an Australia ISP called Genuity which coincidentally is where a certain cruise ship is poking around. But who know, maybe that’s just a coincidence.
Except the other anon is coming from a Texas only ISP. Are there two? Is our assumed culprit in port somewhere new? Is there any way to know and do we even care?
it seems to me that breakfast pizza probably would require breakfast beer as well. but that’s fine with me.
Is there such a thing as caffeinated beer? I would love that.
Dont like Pizza???!!! what a horrible awful thing to say. surely you do not mean that. That demands and explanation. I will never patronize this blog again.
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Yes, there IS such a thing as caffeinated beer. It’s either a porter or a stout, made by Redhook, and it has a shot of Starbucks in it.
Dear Ms. Toft:
I represent the American Pizza Dealers Information Council. It has been brought to my attention that you have made disparaging public comments about my clients product. On behalf of my client I condemn these anti-Pizza statements in the strongest terms. They are intemperate and ill-informed.
Pizza enjoys a well deserved and hard earned reputation as being a healthful alternative to other so-called foods. Pizza is low in fat, high in protein and is a very low carbohydrate food suitable for any and all diets, including low sodium and other restricted diets. A diet rich in Pizza has been found to be a tasty economical way to achieve that elusive “balanced” diet that is essential to good health and general well being. In addition, Pizza(in its most concentrated form) has been found to be and effective anti-cancer agent as well as a dentifrice. It is presently used by many thousands for relief from irritable-bowel syndrome. Research is currently under way to study the use of Pizza in the treatment of heart disease, and in the prevention of heart attack. It is now known that stroke patients respond favorably to Pizza which may reveal Pizza’s potential as a cure for Altzheimers Disease. Pizza is eaten daily and is recommended for all age groups from new borns to near deaths, and from teenagers to wanna-be teenager parents who want to feel like they’re still “with it”. Additionally Pizza has been featured prominently in many well known movies and television programs from “The Titanic” and “StarWars” to “Sienfield” and “Armerican Idol”.
In closing, I am sure that your ignorant and vicious comments were simply ill timed and made without consideration for the remarkable benefits that Pizza and the APDIC bring to this country. I will continue to monitor your remarks and will recommend legal action as appropriate.
Very truly yours,
Charles E. Cheaseay

Now I’m thinking this might be Leah’s friend who also goes by the name of Jeff. Is that you, Wesleyville Jeff?
I commend and applaud Mr. Posters ambitious efforts to realize his “Pizza Dreams”. He represents the entrepreneurial spirit of all great Americans. I look forward to more of his courageous, compelling and insightful commentary on this site as he embarks on his most noble ventures, Pizza and otherwise.
Sincerely,

Katie has always disliked pizza.
Our Dad is obsessed with pizza so there definitely have been some heated discussions in the family about where we were going to eat.
Shouldn’t there be a limit on how much you can type for your post? This blog entry was TIRING to read.
Kris – have there been previous posts to indicate to you that “AP” is a “she”? I sensed some jealousy at some point that made me think he might have been some poor bloke that Katie either ditched or knew but never gave the time of day to…Katie???
Katie, for the love of Blog, please, no more purple.
..and post some new photos. Don’t you have some from your recent Bainbridge trip? (Did you go to XGym yesterday?)
…ok, time for me to do boring Sunday chores. I should be kayaking! Want to go next weekend?? We can get you a boat for free from REI…
Think about it.
We’ll do something fun besides boring Lake Union.
M.T.- You’re spending more time thinking up adjectives for sister than you are on your actual comments. The poor pizza guy is gonna think that KT is part of the all female version of the Waltons or something.:)
I love The Swan…but agree with Katie…it just makes me want to work my butt off (literally). Katiedid-I got a job….inside sales rep for Monterey Bay Wines….ahhhhh to be in the wine industry again!
Love ya!
