Splatter Magnet
I am a splatter magnet. I don’t know how many times Jon has said to me, “I never get splattered on when cooking bacon or meatballs or anything else that spits oil.” He has told me countless times how unlucky and ridiculous it is that I get splattered EVERY TIME I cook any food that spits oil.
It really is ridiculous how often I get burnt. My clothes get wrecked. The floor gets splattered with oil. I need one of those oil covers for keeping splatters inside the frying pan. That would be way too easy. Much more fun to try and dodge the invisible oil splatters.
I’m having a contest to see how many times I can say “splatter/s” in this post.
Anyway, tonight we were making “Low Carb Meatballs” for a snack. Jon gets splattered in the eye….IN THE EYE. Then he has the audacity to blame it on me. ‘Cause I am a splatter magnet. If I weren’t standing so close to the stove while he was cooking then he would have never gotten splattered in the eye. HA! Right!
HA HA! You got splattered and it’s my fault. Whatever…….
On another annoying note, Jon realized that his atrocious eating habits of late have resulted in him gaining a few extra pounds. This means that he can no longer fit comfortably into his 34″ waist pants. Poor Baby! He decided that he’s going to low-carb it with me for this week. He’s been doing it since Monday and has already lost 4 pounds. He even had a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch on Tuesday.
Sick!
SICK, SICK, SICK! I can’t believe it! It’s so not fair. I’ve been doing this for a month. Where is my 4 pound weight loss in 3 days. Heck! I’d be happy if I lost 4 pounds in the last 2 weeks. I’m thrilled ’cause I washed and then didn’t throw my jeans into the dryer and so they feel loser on me. Is that ’cause I’ve lost weight(snort) or because I didn’t dry them(more likely)? I’d love to believe the weight loss thing, but my scale isn’t saying so.
Why do I lose weight so slowly?
It’s so hard! I didn’t even cheat this past weekend at the ladies retreat. AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!
So Hard, so hard!

I get splattered all the time too….and I feel the same about the weight loss….it just drips off Jason and me…….well not so much dripping going on here….mind you….I did cheat at the women’s retreat….I don’t have a scale and I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing!!! I think I need to come over and weigh myself soon.

With Liliane, it’s coffee. She just HAS to spill it. I understand Jon’s point about it being your fault though – sometimes I get coffee on me when Liliane is too near too.

Patti,
There’s nothing we can do to hurry it up. It just sucks. But just watch 6 stinkin’ weeks down the road, somebody will notice how lean and slim you are getting and you’ll be inspired to keep going for another 2 months, to lose anothe 4-5 measly pounds. It’s great!

I just saw this after I read your post. It was on MSN home page.
It’s called, Lose Weight Like Men, something like that.
