me

i love so heavy
two minutes a day
should have made it by now
but i've been lost in
day-to-day doldrums
raised in seattle
grew up in francisco
would have faded by now
but disappearing's not simple

thursday thoughts

just guzzled down a soy green tea latte. nummm...silk has come a long way!

almost halfway through week 1 of 6 to getting new couch.

never going to move within san francisco again if rents don't go down. even just looking is depressing.

cost of living increase (ie, raise) is officially 3%. we'll see what that means come the end of march, but that doesn't seem too significant.

looking into a couple cleanses. i think i'll be ordering something online, though, as i didn't see much at whole foods.

thai lime pilaf for lunch, but before that i think i'm going to try and go to the gym on my lunch hour, see how that goes time-wise.

a little annoyed with friends that think that myspace is a good place to email me. i feel that email is a good place to email me, or at least facebook will TELL me what the f*@# they said so i don't have to wait until the login volume goes down enough for me to check my messages.

Saturday

march madness!

so, february was a pretty full month.

1. they hired a receptionist. this takes me off the front desk for most of the day; i cover her break, her 1/2 hour lunch, and 2 hours at the end of the day. this gives me hope.

2. vegan month was a huge hit! i feel so much healthier, and it's made eating interesting again! my new thought is to keep going with it until i get bored, and then figure out where to go from there. in the meantime, i'm gawking over veganyumyum.com, theppk.com, blog.fatfreevegan.com, and so many more...plus, the chemist in me's gotten really excited about translating foods from regular to vegan.

3. miami was very interesting. it makes me understand the south beach diet all the more. i'll go back, but next time i want to stay in the design district instead of the heart of south beach.

4. lost 4 more pounds, for a total of 14 (since mid-december; 2 1/2 months for those that don't want to do the numbers). i'm on track to be back to college weight by my birthday!

5. m got tired of our apartment again, except this time instead of just rearranging, he craigslisted our couch and the giant ikea desk. i'm stoked about the desk being gone, but replacing the couch is going to cost a lot more than we got for it. eh, whatever--it was going to happen eventually anyways.

6. so close to finishing henry. it's amazing what switching from english to continental style does for time! plus, i got a ton done during flights/layovers.

'sall for now...
