I got up and mindlessly walked to the kitchen.

Mindlessly grabbed a bowl.

Mindlessly put it on the food scale.

Mindlessly punched "on" and let it zero out.

And carefully spooned my cat's food into the bowl.

I soooo do not need to weigh my cat's food!!! (He is the first pet I've owned that I don't have to watch how much we feed him...) I really was on auto pilot. And I wasn't thinking of mindlessly eating cat food. Just have put MY cereal bowl on the food scale every morning for like 5+ years now...

I also carefully weighed a half an avocado yesterday... and then immediately forgot the number... but there was no way I was scraping squished avocado off my sandwich and reweighing it.

Even in your dreams you measure your food.

You take your food scale, and an electric extension cord, with you to a restaurant?

One of the rules on author Katie McAllister's web page is no eating or drinking while reading the message boards.

Her books cause that sort of reaction and so does the postings of her fans.

I had a cat that I had to measure her food. She was a stress eater and would binge and if I gave her too much, she'd gobble it down and throw it up.

And then Barney, our old dog... he was just a hound dog and loved to eat. We measured his food (with a plastic cup) so that we could control his girth.

But I NEVER thought of weighing his food on a food scale.

I WISH this cat was a member of the "Clean Plate Club"... he is on special UT food and he wastes a lot by taking two bites and leaving it.

hahahahahahhahaahahhahaha!

LOL!
Oh you could write a humor blog!
