And today, cookie dough was my lunch.
Actually there is more to it than that. I made cookie dough specifically to eat if for lunch. Somewhere my mom is frowning and my dad is feeling proud, but don't worry mom I left the raw egg out because I had no intention taking my dough anywhere near the oven. I am not sure Luke would be surprised by this behavior but I am also pretty sure that he would give me a big eye roll followed by the "raised eyebrow look," which around here means "Are you sure, Catherine, really?"
For me about 12 days of every month are spent feeling overly tired and zombie like and about 8 days of every month are spent obsessing over sweets, mostly of the chocolate and baked good categories. Thank goodness my 12 days of involuntary exhaustion and 8 days of irrepressible need for goodies overlap, otherwise I would be pretty much the worse person in the world to live with or even be around really. I also don't suffer from debilitating cramps, or overly crazy mood swings (I think), so I guess I don't fair any worse than anyone else.
Today is one of those days where the exhaustion and cravings were strong so for most of the day I just tried to keep up with Maddy and Boo. When the girls went down for nap I gave into my raging hormone fueled craving and made a small batch of chocolate chip cookie dough with the soul intention of eating it straight from the mixing bowl. I sound like a pregnant woman don't I? I'm not, don't get any silly ideas in your head.
I just needed some sugary sweetness in my life. It really was a small batch and would have made about 8 cookies if cookies were the intention, and even then I only ate about a third of it and threw the rest out. A waste? Yes, but keeping the rest was asking for trouble. Although suddenly I am reminded of certain Sex and the City episode where Miranda eats chocolate cake from her trash can.
Don't worry I won't do anything like that. I think.
Someone better send a candy bar this way to get my mind off of cookie dough.
7 share your thoughts with me:
Well you caused much eye rolling and gagging from me but being English I do not understand the fascination with cookie dough.
I can totally relate, I hate that 12 days out of the month I feel like a lazy crazy woman with a majorly sweet tooth.
I have found a bit of a cure though, progesterone cream, it really is like a wonder drug. It has helped me to control some of the crazies and for that I am glad.
I am sure you are not the only woman that has eaten a bowl full of sugar!
you have me chuckling (is that how you spell it?) here. i mean, seriously? i am so proud of you for acknowledging the craving and matter-of-factly addressing it. and you are smart, too, to throw away the leftovers. i would have probably just sat there, shoving it down my gullet, feeling nauseous, depressed and bad about myself.
It was tough to toss it in the trash because I was sure that I would want to eat more later, but ultimately that it was made me decide that I needed to ditch it. I am glad I did otherwise my belly would be loaded with cookie dough right now and I would be feeling guilty instead of satisfied.
Now that is a good idea! I love cookie dough but I am deathly afraid of raw eggs so I don't eat it. Now you have me thinking about it. Bad, bad bad!
Sounds like my kind of lunch! Gotta recipe to share? hehe
I <3 cookie dough!
Glad to know I am not the only one who feels zapped of energy and zombie like. I never even thought about it being cycle related.
I have also heard others swear by porgesterone cream, I will have to do more research on it!
