elvendollthree years ago today i was snowed in in nashua, having lazy winter break time, bitching about having a cough and not writing and glad that bill had found a job.
two years ago tomorrow i wrote a lot about my weekend and got one of the first comments from my favorite fan.
a year ago two days from now i wrote about the weekend i'd had going to the club, hanging out with her and her and going to a book club. that book club went & died : (
and again, i want to say that i had a really good weekend.
friday night was fun, even if i passed out before meaning to, saturday was very chill, mellow and school-productive, yesterday had a great brunch, some house cleaning, a massage, happy-tummy sushi and a poetry slam. what more could a girl want?
first thing today is me being a bad kid. i'm going to get two of these, in king size. how can i pass up two king size down pillows for $50??? ...finding pillow covers for them should be fun, though...
had issues falling asleep, again.
went to bed at 2, was up for at least another half hour, if not more : (
i think tonight, i'll get home, eat & watch the buffy tape, maybe do the writing assgnment and make a goal of dosing up on valerian and hitting the sheets before midnight. i was up late both weekend nights and that, while good for my sanity, did nothing for my internal clock.
and damnit, i'm just in shock at the good moods i've had lately. in a lot of ways, this weekend could be a 'perfect weekend' for me - it included partying (well, clubbing), cuddle time, homework, chores, a great dinner out and an artsy outing. i think i could do without studying till 4am on a saturday night on most weekends, but not being in recovering mode was nice on sunday morning. in a way, it also makes me focus on things that i'd like that i don't have/haven't done yet - like the resolve to be functioning well enough to do interesting stuff on weekend afternoons and to spend more time with smaller groups of people.
other stuff on my mind:
i started tossing around the idea of taking 2 classes in the spring, and then my mom told me that my stepdad will be taking a significant pay cut for a permanent position at his work. unfortunately, i don't know how i could take a second class without asking my parents to help pay for it : /
while i'm less then happy about the fact that i haven't been around home much and therefore don't get to spend too much time around the cat, i really do appreciate how much more affectionate she is when i am around now. its weird how an animal can let you know they love you.
i haven't gone ice skating yet. i can't imagine being able to do so before the weekend of february 22nd, and haven't really decided if i'm up for trying to organize an excursion.
when no-carbs diets were fist coming out, i used to joke that i'm on the opposide side of the diet - eating lots of carbs and minimal protein. lately, i've noticed myself leaning more towards protein food and wanting to shy away from carbs. and i can't figure out if my body is actually needing the protein or if this is a subconscious attempt to control weight through eating habits.

Date: 2003-01-13 10:45 pm (UTC)i'm no fan of the no-carb diets (or of diets in general) but it is true that our diet consists of way too many processed/"empty" carbs. i did this experiment this summer when i didnt eat sugar for a week. no sugar in coffee, tea, or any processed foods containing sugar. i found that at first i was craving like mad but it subsided, and ever since, if i so much as look at really high-sugar foods, i cant even fathom ever eating them. i cant eat white sugar anymore. i think its really digusting. i dont put sugar in tea or coffee, and havent since. i dont really add it to anything, in fact. its really odd. the only thing i really like that has processed sugar is chocolate, and then ive been into really bitter chocolate of late too. all in all, sugar is totally addictive, and totally unnecessary. maybe you are finally listening to what your body needs, rather than what sounds yummy. its really difficult, i found, to actually listen to it and give it what it needs... but its really interesting because you end up eating the "right" foods if you do.
