Dairy Queen...not Protein Queen

Since the nutritionist said I wasn't eating enough protein, Eric has been gloating, because that's what he predicted she was going to say. He's also been trying to force feed me protein...but chicken, his protein of choice these days, just does NOT appeal to me.
A trick he's started to use to get me to divulge my eating habits is to nonchalantly ask me what I've eaten for the day. I get sucked in because I think he's really interested, when, in actuality, he's just calculating the protein grams that I've consumed. And when he realizes it's not enough, he tries to entice me to consume more protein..."Guess whose having a protein shake for dessert," he says with a smile, like a chalky, nasty shake is actually a treat or something.
I'll tell you what a real treat is! A Dairy Queen Oreo cookie blizzard.
Last night, while watching the Orange Bowl, I saw a commercial for DQ. They featured an Oreo cookie blizzard...I've never had one before, but it looked so yummy...I even dreamt about it last night. I couldn't get it out of my head, so I decided to go there at lunch today. It was like HEAVEN!!!! So delicious! One thing about pregnancy: food that I crave has never tasted so good...it's totally fun! I can't believe I've been missing out on this.
I think I may have to stop on the way home and get another one...at a different Dairy Queen of course, so I don't get the same person at the drive thru (SMILE!)
