Running with Scissors: Nibbling and sipping

I envy the decadence of it all--like Rome before the fall or Las Vegas in the early 60's. "Hedonistic" is a word that comes to mind. Boring is another word that comes to mind. Also, "bleh" and "meh." And maybe "gah."
Foodbuzz held a convention last week in San Francisco and the healthy blogging ladies totally convened. Oh, and how they reveled!
A few choice "nibbles" and "sips" for us mere plebes to feast upon:
- No, no, no. I'm perfectly happy with the whole grain bagel I packed. No, really. OH GOD WHAT IS THAT HEAVENLY SMELL??? "My husband had a Cinnabon. He really wanted one when we were coming back from Honduras, but we could never find it in the airport! So, he finally got to have it and enjoyed every bite."
- I especially loved the table-side sparkling water!
- Sadly, the celebration finally had to come to an end as Meghann and I had an early 11 mile run planned for the morning. I regretfully pulled myself away from the fun conversation and magical evening and headed upstairs to bed.
- A Tweet! Real-time live news from the event! If this isn't fiddling while Rome is burning, then I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.

I want my last 3 minutes back.

Posted 11/13/2009 at 10:59:49 AMIt's like my old youth group retreats, but with no praise-songs and far more sexual frustration.

Posted 11/13/2009 at 11:39:03 AMOMG. Can we say "asshole" on here? I'm wicked sorry.
Posted 11/13/2009 at 11:41:00 AMOh yes Crissy, "asshole" can be very well said here. In fact, it can be so well said here, there, and everywhere as of late, that dear old "asshole" stands a chance of getting used raw from over exposure. Haven't you been reading? ASSHOLE or its little buddy ass, appear to be the weekly special in words, and everyone is having just so much fun with them.

I actually did like my bagel better than the cinnabon, but this did make me laugh.
