Breakfast: a fish oil pill, water
Went for a 3-mile walk AND I ran part of it (prolly like half a mile). This is a big step up. Hopefully, I can get to the point where I'll run half of it.
Lunch: 4 peeps, a LOT of M&Ms and skittles
Dinner: a whole medium ham and pineapple pizza, coke.
Dinner was prolly overdoing it.
Anyway, I was hoping to catch up on some stuff today. I did do my laundry and go grocery shopping. Did they stop manufacturing Suave deoderant? Because I can't find it anywhere. So when I started considering alternatives, I noticed that they have one "clinical strength" deoderant for $8.99. $8.99?!? I have to imagine how much NOT sweating is worth to me. I'd like to go with $2.49.
While doing my laundry, I was reading my GMAT for Dummies book. This book was written by dummies. Seriously, the authors are so condescending but I can only remind myself that I should have known ... because it says in the title that it's for dummies.
Two things that I didn't get to were hemming my pants and practicing my banjo. I want to get back to that.
Now I'm tired and want to go to bed. It's going to be a busy week at work.

Working the numbers
Woohoo! Callbacks for the improv troupe - keep your fingers and toes crossed!
Thursday, I did manage to take a walk along the river. It was a beautiful day and I'm glad I could squeeze it in. I can't remember what I ate for breakfast but for dinner, I had an Italian sub with soda. Then later, I had a cheeseburger from McDonalds and a soda. The eating schedule was all wonky cause I worked a closing shift.
Today was a busy day at work cause the kids are out of school. Had a croissant and coffee for breakfast; a baked potato with butter and sour cream, ham and cheese sandwich with lettuce, tomato, pickles and sweet peppers, and soda for lunch; pork cutlet (donkatsu) with cabbage for dinner; and a soda.
Tomorrow should be just as busy. Sunday, nothing but Peeps and M&Ms!!! I may skip the soda.

You go, girl
I did not exercise today. I did not exercise yesterday. I have been eating like a garbage truck.
But I'll try again tomorrow.
I did try out for an improv troupe today. I'm getting better at the auditions. And there were FAR less people there, thus improving my chances GREATLY. I'm a numbers gal. I'll keep you updated.
Finally, I'd like to tell a story for a friend who's feeling nervous about the choices that she's made.
Girl, you already did it. Keep going forward. The moment when you made your choice is a moment to celebrate your courage and your triumph over fear.
It was the moment when you made your dreams come true. Keep going forward.

Finally, I'd like to tell a story for a friend who's feeling nervous about the choices that she's made.
I tried and tried to get someone to go with me on my big trip around the
world. I was scared and I thought I shouldn't go alone. But I just
couldn't convince myself that it was a good reason NOT to go. And
I really, really, really wanted it. "Traveling around the world" was
something I had wanted my whole life. Even though people warned me not to,
I went and for purely selfish reasons. It's what I wanted.
While staying with relatives in Korea, my aunt went with me
to buy the ticket to Beijing. She was scared for me - she didn't
think that I should travel alone. The travel agent told us that the ticket
was non-refundable. This made my aunt nervous. But I swallowed
hard and told her buy the ticket. I thought, "Well, I have no choice but
to go now."
I was at the airport alone - there was no one to see me off
on this grand journey. I was scared shitless. I checked
my backpack. I boarded the plane. I clearly remember the
sound of the plane door closing. And I swallowed hard and
thought, "Well, I have no choice but to go now."
Each time that I got scared, I imagined a million ways that I could give up and go straight home. And trust me, bad things happened to me. More than most
know about. But I kept plunging forward until I had no choice but to
keep going forward. All I had to do was get myself past the point of no return.
Girl, you already did it. Keep going forward. The moment when you made your choice is a moment to celebrate your courage and your triumph over fear.
It was the moment when you made your dreams come true. Keep going forward.

I swear I had nothing to do with that earthquake.
My sister sent me this card. And truthfully, you all should be grateful.

Hope it was a cherry blawesome weekend!
ack! I guess it's been a while. Yesterday, I had ... lemme see ... stuff. Not good stuff. Vaguely remember a cinnamon roll, usual coffee, burger, baked potato, oh! And last night Jason's girlfriend made sushi. Very good. Quite good. Yummy. And I had sake with it.
I did manage to walk around the mall, and I've done it twice. Whenever I have lunch with Kati from work, we conclude our lunch with it. On Friday, I walked ALL around the mall. A shoe ended up on our display (we don't know how) that did not belong to us. Inspecting this shoe carefully, I realized that it came from another store. I believe that some child must have picked it up and carried it around. The mother discovered this later and put it down in our store, perhaps thinking (wrongly) that it belonged to us. So I walked to every store in the mall that sells kids shoes until I found the store that sells them. It was a lot of walking. So I chalked it up to exercise. The other store was rather impressed that I would take the time to return it. Yeah, I'm nice like that.
Today, I had a blueberry muffin made by Laura, no coffee, chipotle burrito with large coke, baked chicken with mushrooms and squash with stove top dressing - made by Jason. I didn't walk anywhere.

Little dentist babies
Breakfast: one fried egg (about 2 tsp butter), 2 pieces whole wheat toast, water
Lunch: gunk from teeth cleaning at the dentist and some sand (I am not kidding).
Dinner: Chipotle burrito, margarita (did you know they SELL this there?!), 1 beer, chips and guac.
Snack: coke and popcorn at the movies.
So I went to the dentist today and one day I would like to have his babies. I found this dentist through my dentist in Towson. He had gone to MCV and knew my dentist in Richmond, who had gone to MCV. So when I told my Towson dentist that I was moving to Boston, he gave me the name of a dentist they both knew from MCV. Well, that particular dentist wasn't there today, but his brother was, is dreamy AND gave me fillings for free. This was after he filled my mouth with sand. Actually, he used a mini-tooth-sand-blaster to remove the decay from around two old fillings (which was fast and painless AND didn't involve novocaine) before putting on new fillings. Since I couldn't remember if these were fillings from Japan (10 years ago) or fillings from my last dentist (last year), we weren't sure if the insurance would cover them. But he said if they wouldn't, they wouldn't worry about charging me. I'm pretty sure that means that he fell instantly in love with me. Because I did.
How does one go about thinking of reasons to see your dentist when he tells you that your teeth and gums are "great! I'll guess we'll see you in 6 months for another cleaning." But you're supposed to be in love with me?!? Couldn't you tell me that I needed a root canal or braces or something?!? Oh for the love of GOD, work with me!
Afterwards, I met my friend Kati and we went to the movies. I work with Kati and we have very similar senses of humor, which is why being the only 2 people in the theater to see Race to Witch Mountain was endlessly funny to us. When we walked in and saw that we'd be alone, we both started searching frantically for seats. "Where will we sit?" "Can you find 2 seats together?" "Can you ask those people to move over one?" Then when I went to the bathroom, I told her to make sure that she saves my seat. When I came back, I yelled from the back of the theater, "Kati, where are you? I can't find you!" When she came back from the bathroom, she said, "People are so rude. No one would get up to let me back in to my seat!" Of course, we commented very loudly on the movie (which by the way, is pretty good and perfect for kids AND adults), but halfway through the movie, 2 more people came in to see the film. Who does that? When they sat down, probably 10 rows in front of us, I leaned over to Kati and said, "Of course, they would sit right in front of us, blocking our view."
Actually, that was funny probably because of the 2 margaritas we had at Chipotle. Good times.

Happy April Non-Fool's Day
So I worked yesterday. I ate ...
Breakfast: small coffee with cream and Splenda (so much for the cleanse) and a croissant with strawberry jelly.
Lunch: a 1/3 lb burger with cheddar and bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, mayo. I didn't finish it. Fries, large coke (actually it was a Pepsi).
Dinner: some noodle dish that my roommate made from a box with shrimp and tofu. I had a little cause I was still full from lunch. 1 beer.
The good news is that we walked around the mall after lunch. Woohoo!
I have today off and I have 3 objectives:
1. Do Laundry
2. Go for a walk
3. Dentist's appt.
Later I'll probably go to the movies.
And I must apologize. I had meant to write an elaborate blog as an April Fool's joke. But honestly, I couldn't come up with anything really good. Maybe next year.
