So, I totally forgot to mention that Amanda made her soon-to-be famous chili again! At my request, she added black beans and tomatoes. We all love black beans, and the tomato gives the chili a sweeter flavor to match the spice. The previous batch, while amazing and only lasting three days, had more spice and more meat flavor. This new chili is ( Read more... )

So, for starters, it was nice to have Amanda around for the weekend, and not just because she cooked and baked and cleaned up a bit. Friday, Chris came over after work to play PS3. He got on the same bus as me at Harvard Square and smacked me in the head with his bag before I knew it was him. It was silly. Liza came over after work also, we got a ( Read more... )

So, I ate a banana and I've been drinking lots of water. I feel ok, I feel better, I feel less hunger pangs. My goal is not to leave work today until after yoga tonight, and to come into work on Thurs and Fri.

Wish me luck.

So, this weekend was kind of a bust. I'm sick, I have abdominal pain, I don't eat, and I've had to leave work a few times last week. In fact, I'm working from home today and just got back from the doc. So, not much fun ( Read more... )

So, Amanda went away for the weekend, so I had me a little isolated mecation. Friday night, I ushered at the Footlight for their performance of Intimate Apparel. A good show, directed by Amanda's friend Heather, I enjoyed it. Plus, it's always a boon for me when I can get out and do something like that on my own. Like, I can handle it, being in ( Read more... )

So, my best friend Chris lost his job. He was in project management at a small softare company to creates products for service industry businesses. He was one among eight who were laid off. This sucks. I feel bad for him. I know that when I'm not working, I feel lots and lots of pressure because I have no income. Not fun ( Read more... )

So, Wednesday, we got hit with more snow, so the office closed early. I went home, packed and shoveled and did some errands to prep for my trip. Thurs morning, I cabbed it to Logan for a 9am flight. The plane was pleasantly empty, plenty of room to stretch out. I read. and read. and read ( Read more... )

Ghost Town with Ricky Gervais, Greg Kinnear, and Tea Leoni. For starters, Tea Leoni is barely an actress and doesn't really dosen't really belong in a romantic comedy as such. Ok, fine, Ricky Gervais was very funny, although some of his "awkward moments" bits didn't fit in well and felt crammed in here and there. Bleh story, surprising ending. ( Read more... )

So, Friday, we drove over to Maynard for Ewan's 2nd birthday party! So much fun! Presents and cake (though, he cried when we sang Happy Birthday), homemade pizza, lots of trucks. After we settled into the place, he ran over to the bag I brought with his present and he got right to work unwrapping. He couldn't get it out of the bag, so he unwrapped ( Read more... )

So, good times over the weekend. Friday night, we headed over to the Charle's Playhouse for karaoke with Shannon and Kristopher and the Beans. Amanda sang love shack and was joined onstage by overanxious guy! Kristopher did a bunch of Weird Al Songs and Amanda drank too much (I got close). We cabbed it home for 2pm, stayed up past 3:30p and Amanda ( Read more... )
