It's before 10am and I might as well be described as bright eyed and bushy tailed. I'm hoping this keeps up even when I head back East. Breakfast this morning is a small applesauce and some toast; operation eat better continues apace.
Last night's dinner was DELISH. I took a few quick snapshots of it... the meat was so tender that it fell right from the bone. YUM. We will have to do that again. People, if you do not know the wonder that is Old Bay, you are missing out.
Today's weather is wintry-- J just texted to say that it's snowing at his work site. Great... I have a ton of errands to run that have to be done today. Ah well. It's exercise.
I'm transitioning to spring, as well. I want spring scents-- I've been craving the Citrus Cilantro candle from Pier One, but I don't know if they have them out here. I might search Etsy for a similar scent. Maybe one of fresh cut roses, too. Something about scent really helps me get in the mood to work and be productive. I can't wait until it's warm enough to pull out my sari skirts.
I'm lamenting the fact that I left a lot of my DVDs back home. A lot of the ones I 'watch' often while working-- comfortably familiar stories that help me form a rhythm. I've thought about asking Dixie to mail them out, but they could get heavy and expensive, so I'll make due with the wasteland of cable TV. Or I could use Hulu and catch up on shows I've meant to watch-- I want to check out Kings. I will tell you one thing I've noticed in my two weeks of cable exile-- it is disturbing how much thinner women on tv have gotten between the 90's and 2009. Like really-- I was scrolling through the channels and caught part of an early ep of Friends and was like, 'gosh Jennifer Aniston looks fleshy.' Then I went "oh my god." Because, dude. Even in the mid 90's, she was thin by society's standards. Certainly thinner than me and most of the women I know. Healthy thin. But easily 10-15lbs heavier than she is now, or most of the women currently on TV. Talk about a distorted lens. No wonder women feel fat all the damn time. We don't look like we're about to fall over and die of malnutrition.
Okay, time to get up and at 'em. Excited about tonight... J and I are doing a date night tonight and searching out good sushi and maybe a movie. :)
PS FRIENDSLIST: I do not have any Tahmoh Penikett icons. This is a travesty and must be rectified posthaste.
