Day 8

It's kind of weird how cutting out carbs from your life seems so tragic, but now that I'm doing it, I can't think of how I would turn back. I constantly quiz myself to see what I would eat if given the opportunity (it keeps me going), but usually I can't pinpoint anything at all. Lately it's been popcorn or an apple with peanut butter that I could really go for, but even that seems....kind of healthy. Maybe not the popcorn if there is too much salt and/or butter, but really...of all things that is what I would cheat with? I'm losing some gusto here!

On my Myspace page I lost two friends over the last couple of weeks. Normally I would be devastated, but...I dont' know who I lost! Isn't that kind of sad? I have no idea who deleted me or their page (I'm hoping they just deleted their page), and one of them was in my "Top Friends". Oops. I never really log on there anyways, so I guess it's all for not. I should not be concerned about that little fact. I prefer Facebook, but got in trouble last week from one of my aunts for not befriending her daughter (my cousin). Um, this isn't grade school and I don't have to defend my decisions to not befriend your horrible specimen of a daughter. Ick. It made my friday interesting though, so that was nice :)

I realized I did not give a kitten update yesterday in my blog, so I must do that now. Mozzie is growing so fast....well, she's growing taller and that's about it. She absolutely adores closets and bathrooms, and whenever you walk towards either one she will literally beat you there. Every night as I go to bed she races onto my bed, kneads me for a bit (our own private moment) and then takes off, presumably until I wake up six or seven hours later. She's still as curious as ever, and as cute as ever. Tianna and Aaron have taken to calling her "ADD", which is fitting.

Cheddar is just as sweet and as gentle as ever (except when he's trying to hump Mozzie). He loves sitting in my lap, and has his moments where he refuses to let me put him down for any reason. He is the reason I know I will be a good mother, seriously. I know that makes me sound like a crazy cat lady, but whatever...I love my cats, and I will someday make an excellent mother and caregiver because of them. Every night when Mozzie sees something shiny and has to leave my room, he takes her spot and sleeps next to me; I'm not sure if he is there all night, but when I wake up in the morning, he is right next to me, ready to welcome me to my day.

I know people say you love your cats more than they love you, but why are they both right next to me right now as I type? And they always are close to me? Hmmm....I deplore you, could my cats be the exception? I think so....

The crazy noisy kids from down the hall are not as loud as they used to be, but still have their moments. For a while there their mother was playing with them in the hallway! The hallway! They would scream and cry all the way up and down the hallway. One day I finally opened the door and yelled "Hey!" "Hey! You're too loud, get out of the hallway!" to which I got a "Haha. Ok. Sorry." Um, no you're not. Otherwise you would have listened the day before when our neighbor and Tianna told you the same thing. Do not fret, I made a formal complaint.

Oh, before I leave you for the evening I must say this: One of our HR ladies today (I have the pleasure and the privelege of sitting next to HR...lucky me) brought in homemade Oreo truffles today...and I didn't eat a single one! I looked at them, had someone take a bite so I could see the inside, heard the Oohs and Aahs about how good they were, and passed so I could keep up my 100 oz of water at work regimen. Woot!!

Now I will list some of my favorites for you to enjoy:
Lamb by Christopher Moore-everyone must read this
Stomp the Yard-Columbus Short...I need say no more
Italian Parmesan Almond Slivers-deliscious and very Southbeach friendly
My new purple shoes-They will look great all year round, and go with black and brown
JLo and Skeletor breaking up-What does she see in him anyways? Get rid of him already
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner-These two should reproduce once a year (congrats on the new baby)
Broccoli-I now crave it. WTF?
Wedding planning-It is totally fun! I have vowed to be the best MOH ever, and I am happy keeping up my end of that bargain
Walkvest.com-I must get one
Yoga-Everyone should do it, it's fantastic. I have also rediscovered my excellent balance via yoga
String cheese-Fun to eat, and tastes great too


Okay peeps, I'm out. Must shower and go to bed. Adios!
