A few years ago when I hit 21, I became obsessed with "Thirsty Thursdays." $3-You-Call-It's and DJ's. I'm sure the bar tenders sat back, laughing and saying, "We-Call-It-3lbs and sleep deprivation." :) But it actually took a lot for me to transition out of drinking every Thursday night.

I remember sitting on the couch, with nothing interesting on (or should I say nothing as interesting as 15 drunk friends) and not knowing what to do with myself so I'd go to the kitchen and scour the cabinets. Eventually I guess that became my new habit.

It is REALLY
Tombstone Veggie Light Pizza to myself because I'm bored, that's saying something. Half the time I skip the apple. I try to always eat the celery and blueberries first because
