lol, you crack me up. I also just got say, that you must be horny(oops, I mean thirsty) all the time. I never heard someone that likes to have that much (you know) tea, except for my husband, lol. Which is annoying at times. I suppose it would be more exciting when you don't have the same partner all the time. Anyway, I say go for it. Why not, if thats what you want.
I have never done that, but I had a friend who did once and she said if you ever get the chance to do it, definitely do it! So, if I ever get that chance, I will probably go for it, lol. 
I also don't see anything gross about it. I would think it might bother some peoples morals, but If your having tea with someone, then what difference would it make if there was another tea partner there. I don't know, I guess, I have always separated tea fun from the love of my tea. So, it wouldn't bother my morals at all.
ps: It's hard to talk about tea sometimes, lol

well, we'll see what happens with the tea. I don't even necessarily like to drink tea all the time, I am really not that thirsty all the time. I just REALLY like men and I really like spending time with them and then sometimes some of them are just, you know, really something else and then I think about them a lot but it's not I am always thinking about tea. not like your husband, lol!!!!
Zen: Thanks for your congratulations. I was SO glad to pass that test. And I felt about ten feet tall on Sunday, I tell you! It was awesome!
Had a great day today! My top advisor consort invited me out to a show tomorrow night, so that should be really fun. And I hardly ever get to see him during the week, so it's pretty cool!
And I had a really good time at work too. Was just the right amount of busy, not stressed but not slow or bored at all. It was just perfect!
What else--calories were good too today, probably about 1450. And this is what I had:
-some cashews (MUFA)
-hot dog with melted cheddar cheese and some pumpkin seeds (MUFA)
-two pieces of See's chocolate candies and some pumpkin seeds
-small serving of cheesey popcorn
-pumpkin seeds
-some more cashews
And I can't believe it--I am getting paid on Thursday at midnight, and I have like hundreds of extra dollars from not eating out and buying my own food. Amazing!

Yea, that is great about the extra dollars. Are you planning something special to do with it. You should as a reward to yourself for being good at your dieting and exercise.
I wish I could save from dieting, I spend twice as much. Cause I have to buy my food and then food for everyone else. I wish I could bring them over to my side of eating healthy.

I am just planning on saving it really for a rainy day. I have everything I need and want right now, so it just feels good to have it on hand if I come across something I feel like I want. You know?
As far as the tea for three goes, I think I am going to take the approach that I am definitely not going to bring it up, but if the situation presents itself, I am going for it. But if it doesn't present itself, I am not setting anything in motion. I will put it in my meditations and basically ask that it would work out the best for me-- knowing that I really truly fancy these dudes in a real way, not just a sexy way. That is my plan!
And in other great news, the scale said 148.4 pounds this morning. Hooray! That is awesome. That is a whole pound less since yesterday! I really think the MUFAs are a lifesaver. I am amazed and so happy! They are great. And I ate See's candy yesterday too! Wow! So now, I just have to lose 1.4 pounds by Sunday. I know I can do it!
Today I am really craving a Subway tuna sandwich. Those have about 800 calories, so I would have to be a bit careful about whatever else I eat today, I want to keep it around 1400 or so. So that leaves me 600 to play with. I already have cashews this morning, so that leaves me 440 to play with. Darn, I wish I had some carrots or something. I seriously need to go to the store. But 440 is good. I can deal with that.

I thought I was the only one that craved tuna sandwich's from Subway! So good! I'm not sure about the 800 calories though, I guess it depends what you get on it. I like wheat bread with veggies.

he he, I am going to have tuna on mac and cheese today. I can't wait!!!!
I don't think I have had one from subway. I tend to avoid the place. If I am going to have a sub, I would rather make it myself.

| mmm... I love subway and macaroni and cheese! I used to always get the turkey on honey oat bread, now I get just veggies on honey oat... that is the best bread in the world! I started baking my own macaroni instead of eatting it from the box... it's waaay healthier! I put hardly any cheese in it, and it still tastes amazing! I love tuna and peas in it.

Yikes, FRACK! It's not 800 calories from Subway. It's 800 calories from freaking Togo's, but from Subway the tuna sub is 1060 calories! Oops! Oh well... can't go back! I still have a deficit today, albeit a pretty puny one, only about 120 calories. But a deficit is a decifit, and I was good about my MUFAs. Here is what I ate today:
-some cashews (MUFA)
-green tea
-some more green tea
-a very small piece of dark chocolate (MUFA)
-Subway tuna sandwich with chips and some pumpkin seeds (MUFA)
-some blueberries with a macadamia (MUFA) white chocolate chip cookie
-some more cashews
Altogether about 1860 calories. That's a lot! More than I was shooting for, but I still have a deficit. And every minute I stay awake is a bigger deficit. Right now I am looking at about a 120 deficit. Oh well...
For anyone that remembers that mother who walked 2.5 miles in 45 minutes in the blazing heat to see her son--she had a visit with him today, and I had told the son earlier before she got there that it was obvious that she loved him very much. I told him
I've seen a lot of parents come through here, and none of them, that I have seen, love their kids as much as your mom loves you. You really mean the world to her.
And the son asked me if he could tell his mom what I said during the visit with his mom, and I said sure
well, the mom got tears in her eyes and she went to give me a hug, and she said,
it's true, katie, I love him so much... thank you for saying that
and it was really, really beautiful. I thought of her while I was meditating this evening and how great she is. I can't wait until she can get her son back.
And then she said to me
you know when I get him back, it will be hard to leave you. I really like you.
I thought that was SO SWEET. I have never EVER had a biological parent say that to me before. I mean I have had them say some nice stuff--they really appreciate me, they are so happy that their child has me as a worker, they can tell I really care about the kids, and so forth. But I have never had a parent say they would miss me once they got their child back. That was really amazing to me, and made me feel like a million bucks.

i think it is so awesome that you have a job that does so much good. how you are so thrilled and willing to do your job; how it's so important and significant; how you can go home and know that you are being a positive entity. your soul must be pure joy.
that's just so friggin cool.

you know what, it actually is REALLY great. I have had lots of moments at my job where my heart feels so happy because I think
Man, I am really in here, in the middle of people's lives, like I am IN it! And it's my job and I get paid for it, but it really is like such an honorable and deeply satisfying position to be in.
I was chilling in the kitchen with one of my foster families just being goofy talking about Sex and the City (there's ALL girls in that home, the only male is the foster father, who was sitting there too being a good sport, rolling his eyes, but still grinning looking at his wife and daughters--foster annd otherwise) and I was just thinking
wow
I am really here with this family, in this moment, looking at this creation of people that were basically thrown together by chance (4 of the girls there are foster placements) and they really are a family. And they love each other. And I get to be here in it, feeling it, having been a part of it, and that's really cool. I mean it's more than cool, it's just amazing. And who am I too--I was just the worker assigned to the home, it could have been another worker, but now I am part of their family too.
One thing my job has really taught me is that family and love has nothing to do with blood--DNA--or anything. It has to do with shared experience. Because all of the families I work with have members that are not blood, not related in any way, just happened to have an open bed with a random kid needed a home. But now, those kids ARE that family, they are just as much part of the family as a biological kid. And my position is real interesting because I go into their homes every week and I know all these private, intimate details of their lives, and it's just
well i don't know what it is
it's an interesting position
and like I said an honorable position and unique, a thing unto itself. I am glad the position is there, and I am way glad to fill it!

You know that is great that you like your job so much. I think allot of times, myself included, that people get in a rut and have a hard time appreciating what is that they do. I know I do that. After years of doing the same thing, it's hard to get excited by it anymore.

I wish they would wait to mix the tuna with mayo until it is made for you. I think that's where all the calories are. At home I make mine with mostly mustard and veggies, then add a teeny tiny bit of miracle whip. They should give us that option there, considering they're subway after all!
I mean 1060 calories for a "healthy" option is a lot! I freaked out when I found out how many calories my favorite nachos from taco dell mar had in them... it was around the same amount! Haven't eatten them since and that was like 5 months ago

| Are you referring to the foot long tuna sub? How is that possibly over 1000 calories? A double whopper with mayo and cheese from BK is 1100 calories. I can't see it being equivalent to that. What do you get on the sub that makes it a caloric monster?

well, from my research, wheat bread is like 190 cals (6 in). so it's not that bad. cheese adds like 4. if they use full fat mayo, well, it does add up fast...
a 6 inch tuna (it doesn't say with or without cheese, but i am assuming without, as that's how they used to do it) is 530 cals. not too horrible if you keep the cheese off and only have a 6 inch.

yes. i too wish they would let you decide how much mayo to mix in with the tuna. I don't know where all the calories come from, but i am thinking mostly from the bread and the mayo in the tuna. But yes, of course the six inch is a better choice (thank you Ms. Captain Obvious, Zen, lol). But sometimes I want to be a big pig. I mean, I did okay, I still lost a pound yesterday, so clearly I didn't do anything bad, but it does suck that the sandwich packs so many calories.
Cindy, yeah, I really do appreciate my job although aspects of it drive me nuts sometimes. I guess it's probably like that no matter what job you have, you know?
I am thinking of applying for CPS services with the County. I have done that before, and I think I was pretty good at it. I know the County really needs some good people right now, so I will look into it. It won't hurt to put my little feelers out. I am really close to getting licensed too, so that is a lot going in my favor, career-wise. WOO HOO!!!
I am waiting for my Friday night date to get here. I bought a bottle of Pinot Grigio to enjoy with him. I allotted two glasses of wine, so I had better keep within the limit, because I do not have that big of a deficit today either...
This is what I ate today:
-cashews
-a few more cashews
-green tea
-superbird sandwich and some seasoned fries from Denny's plus some cashews
-some pumpkin seeds
-some chocolate meringue cookies from Trader joe's (these are amazing and only 30 calories each, I don't know how it's possible but it IS!!!)
-3 pieces of almond roca candy
-some more green tea
and then I plan on having two glasses of pinot grigio
All told, about 1785 clories. I will probably have about a 200 calorie deficit at the end of the day.
I went running, walking, and did some push-ups this morning, plus I walked to go get lunch with my lovely comrade, Jennifer. She is REALLY cool by the way. I love it when I have cool coworkers that are fun to chill with.

Personally I think it sucks that a slab of ribs packs so many calories. Where's the justice in that?? Just saying...
Your attitude is always so good - I'm hoping some of it rubs off from reading your diary.

Dang, ribs sound GOOD! When I was a little girl, that was my favorite thing ever. I remember one time, I must have been about 8 or 9, we went to a restaurant and I ordered prime rib, thinking that it was ribs. And I was so disappointed and sad when they brought up this slab of meat instead of my beloved barbecue ribs. My parents felt bad because they thought oh oops, we should have explained that it wasn't ribs, but they just weren't thinking that way and figured I wanted prime rib. And I STILL don't like prime rib. Blech! But I do still like ribs. It doesn't seem like ribs should be THAT many calories--I mean it's mostly just meat protein, but I guess the sauce probably adds the calories? Actually, I want to see how many calories are in ribs, now that I think about it... be right back
... ... ... ...
okay wow, it's like 174 calories per "large rib." How many ribs usually come in an order I wonder? It's seriously been a LONG time since I've had ribs. Gosh, at least ten years, something like that. Anyway, yeah that is a lot. Well, hold on, let me think about it. For that tuna sub, it's 1030, so if I traded those calories for ribs that would be....almost 6 ribs! 6 large ribs. I guess that's a pretty good deal!
I gotta go out for a quick run. The green tea has just kicked in. Be back soon!

all right, I went out and did a quick run and met a cute man with a cute dog. That was nice. And these old Russian dudes are ALWAYS out smoking in the morning, so I always say hi to them when I run by. And I don't know how old they are, but they look older than the hills.
Then I did some strength training, and now I am done and eating pumpkin seeds. I need to do some serious shopping. My goal is to get through today with what I have, and then I have my free day tomorrow which usually means I go out and eat a bunch of delicious naughty food. And then I don't have to work until noon on Monday, so my plan is to go shopping before I go to work.
I actually also think I might stop by the office and pick up some notes my boss left me on this report I wrote so I can maybe work on it over the weekend a bit and have it emailed to her before Monday. In which case, I will get to be at work even LATER than noon on Monday, so that is my plan. I just need to hurry up eat and shower and get my butt over to the office AND the bank to deposit my checks! (WOO HOO!!!! The city of West Covina mailed me back what I paid for that ticket I fought and won!)
Cindy and Wolfmonk: I really do appreciate your kind words about how you admire my attitude. I've got to tell you, it probably took a good year and a half of hard mental retraining and doing mental exercises (meditation, visualization, mantras) every day to make my attitude shift to how it is now. I have taken different techniques that I have learned from different sources (quantum physics, cognitive/behavioral psychology even religion) and I would say that the basics of keeping up my good attitude include
-waking up and saying something positive that I am thankful for to get myself in a good mindset for the rest of the day
-setting aside time in the morning to meditate and just relax and think of things I am happy about and how I want my day/week/year/life to unfold and visualizing these things happening
-throughout the entire day putting conscious effort into noticing nice things, even small things, and taking time out to say thank you or that's beautiful or wow, that's nice. I make a point to tell people when I think something nice about them, and usually I will even give thanks out loud when something nice happens to me, even something seemingly small like my make-up looking good or finding a parking space or getting to my destination safely
-taking time agin in the evening after dark to meditate again
-then when i am falling asleep, I ask for good dreams and go over the things I was thankful for during the day. And if anything happened that I didn't like, I replay it in my mind that it happened differently, the way I would have wanted it to happen, and then I go on with my reality as if it happened the way I wanted it to happen.
It doesn't always work, sometimes I get cross or I get sad, but I would say that generally this has greatly improved my attitude and made me a pretty happy woman. And it has brought wonderful events and people into my life. I really think that a good attitude attracts more good stuff (and the same goes for a bad attitude).

The scale this morning said 147.8, which is up .4 pounds from yesterday which totally suxOrs because I had at least a 400 calorie deficit yesterday, which means I should have been down by .1 pounds, but oh well, it didn't happen that way. Hopefully it was just water I retained from the salty pumpkin seeds or something. My stomach is still looking flat, so that's a good thing.
But because the scale went up like that, and I mean I really really REALLY want to lose .8 pounds by tomorrow and have the scale say 147, I am going to try to eat VERY LITTLE today. I don't know how little, but very little. Maybe I can live on the pumpkin seeds, green tea, and wine. (I have two dates today, one during the day and one at night, so hopefully that will just keep me busy and not hungry).
The date last night was pretty good, except I think there might be something shady about the guy. He told me is still living with his ex, but I get the feeling they are still together and he is just being a dodgey mofo (you know the type). I can't exactly say what makes me think this, but his interactional patterns are classic for a guy who is in a relationship and trying to cheat. I don't like that type of stuff. I am all for polyamory if everyone is up front about it and knows what's going on, but I don't like deceit and lying and I certainly have no respect for anyone who makes a commitment to somebody to be monogamous and then cheats. I think that's really low. So, like I said, I don't have any definite proof, but I just got that feeling. It was fun, had some wine, some laughs, etc., but I kept him at arm's length because I just felt the shadiness emanating from him. And you know what, honestly, of course it bothers me that he is cheating on his girlfriend or wife or whatever he has, but I think it's an insult to MY intelligence that he thinks I won't pick up on the fact, you know? I mean, if he just came out and said, look I'm in a relationship, but I think you're sexy so I want to have you on the side, I could at least have a little more respect for him than with him just being shady and thinking he's going to play us both. You know? And I think, I am a social worker for Christ's sake, I deal with shady SHADY addict parents all the time who are full of lies and I think you can give me a little more credit than that, you know? I can smell BS from miles away...
But anyway, the guys I have dates with today are not shady like that and plus they are cuter anyway so 
!!!!!
But anyway back to the food intake, let me think. Okay, I have figured it out. If I ration out my food and I have a serving of pumpkin seeds and an almond roca candy every 3 hours then I can still have 3 glasses of wine with my evening date (or my day date or whatever) and still be about 1075 for calories. So that is a good plan! I am going to do it!
Yay! And hooray for sleeping in! I love it when i sleep in and laze around all morning and then it gets to be 11:00 and i've only had 190 calories. It makes me feel so cool!
lol! can i get an amen? You know you guys love it too!

| Yea, after reading it, it made me feel bad that I let stuff get me down. So, your my inspiration. I am going to try a few of those techniques and see if I can have a better attitude about things. Lord knows, with everything going on, I sure could use a little positive thinking...

I am glad you ladies found inspiration in what I wrote. I really stand by those statements, as I have seen great results. And really, it just feels good to FEEL GOOD, you know, to be conscious and mindful of good things happening. And it's like once you start noticing good things, you notice all these good things and then all these really good things are always happening, big, small, medium, whatever! It's great!
If you haven't checked it out, I gained a lot of knowledge from the book and the movie "The Secret." Awesome stuff in there. And I learned some good stuff from the movie "What The Bleep Do We Know?" and the book The Science of Mind. Great exercises, great mind technology in those sources!
I am proud of myself. I went to work and got my boss's notes and finished my second draft of a report and have emailed it to her. What a load off my mind. And the whole endeavor (including going to the office and picking up the dang thing) only took about 30 minutes. So that was really cool! And it's DONE ALL DONE!!! YAY!!!!
Also, I am addicted to this game called Bookworm. Have any of you ever played it? Man, it's fun AND you can play it for money. Dangerous! But fun! Danger and fun seem to go together a lot it seems!

Definitely trust your instincts with Mr. Shady.
Thanks for running down your techniques for remaining perky - I'm going to give some of them a spin!

Yipes! I did not stick to my plan yesterday! Wine and male beauty weakened my resolve and I ate way more than I meant to. I ate a bunch of cheese AND a bunch of almond roca that I shouldn't have eaten, but oh well. The scale still said 148.6 this morning (still in the 140s, so that is good!) I will STILL have my planned free day today and act ask if that little whoopsie doodle yesterday didn't happen. Not very happy about it, but at least I didn't eat until my stomach hurt!
My dates were very cool. The blue-eyed Jew consort is still sleeping and the one earlier, I don't know know what to call him, maybe the really young consort because he's like 23. Nah, I don't like that name. Ummmmm.... dang! I can call him. Darn it! I can't think of a good description. I'll have to think some more about it...oh I know, I'll call him the sneaky-smooth consort because he got my number on the sly while I was actually with another guy at this party. So he's the sneaky one, not to be confused with the freaking Super Shady consort that I think has a girlfriend, like a real committed live-in girlfriend, that is actually NOT my consort anymore I decided. The sneaky-smooth consort and I went to a shisha lounge and had melon flavored shisha and it was REALLY good! And he's already texted me twice this morning saying hi, which is really cool! So woo hoo!
I sort of have a wine hangover, but it feels okay.

haha OMG the sneaky-smooth consort texted me asking to meet me this morning for coffee, so I told the basically sleeping bue-eyed jew consort that i would be back in an hour or so and now i am off to The Grindhouse to meet the sneaky-smooth one. LOL!!!! One man in the bed and going off to meet another one. Dude, it feels great! I am LIVING IT!!!!
woo hoo!
gotta love it!

Those almond roca things - sheeeit - any of the roca things - are temptation incarnate! If I had them in the house I KNOW I'd eat them. I can empathize with your splurge.

Almond roca is definitely a big weakness for me, as is cheese AND cookies. Sheesh! Well, I ate a lot today and probably am going to have some more wine tonight because the sneaky-smooth consort is bringing some over. I told him I liked pinot grigio, so he said he would pick some up. The Blue Eyed Jew is gone now, had a nice birthday cake little celebration and then played Silent Hill and then just chilled listening to some drum-n-bass. Ahhhh, i LOVE drum-n-bass. It's awesome!
Man, I have definitely eaten enough today. I ate a pint of ice cream and a pizza. Whew! I am full full full! Maybe I will have like one glass of wine and just nurse it because if I eat any more it will cross over from full to painfully full.

You hear me guys? SAVE THE GAME MORE OFTEN!

Nice--I saw Sneaky-Smooth last night, and he brought over a wine I had never heard of--a red. It was good. I got a text message from Mr. Shady that I checked later and he was like
oh i am so sorry about friday night, my ex is just crazy. I should have turned my phone off, and I want to make it up to you for having our time be ruined on Friday.
So I wrote back and said
fine
bring some wine over and give me a massage and that will be a start for you making it up to me.
so then HE came over with some wine and gave me a pretty good massage (although honestly, I've had better, but oh well, he tried). And I told him look, if you want to hang out and spend time, that's cool, but I am not going to kiss you or certainly do anything more than that as long as you are living with your ex.
And he said, okay that's fair
but of course he tried to get me to kiss him, but I said no way dude
figure your living situation first and then we'll see.
so that was cool. I was proud of myself. He said oh can i take you to a movie or a play (because i live by some nice theaters in hollywood) and i said you can take me out all your want, but there will be no sugar until you have moved out of that chick's apartment. Period.
In other news, due to all the  and ice cream yesterday, I weighed in at 151.4 this morning, but that is to be expected. I have myself a LOT of food yesterday. But it was good, and it was worth it. The goal for today is just to keep calories reasonable and have a MUFA at every meal, and I am sure the weight will go down over the next few days. I plan on going shopping too, because i really need to, my cupboards are looking like mother hubbard's. My friend D. might be coming over later, so that will be cool to see him. My goal is to hit 147 this week. That is my big goal.

Okay, well cool! I went out for a little run and then did some frog squats. It's hard to keep good form on those, but it feels good to keep a perfect form. The temptation to lower the head is high, but I kept focused and kept my head up. It's funny how a little thing like that can affect the rest of the body and the execution of the move.
First set = 6
Second set = 4
I am also now running for two minutes and 5 seconds. My running schedule right now is to go out and run every day and add five seconds onto the run each day. And then I walk the rest of the half mile. Eventually I'd like to build up to being in a marathon, but I am not there yet! Getting there.... (always getting there, lol!)
what a lightweight, I know, but if you keep good form it's harder to do them. I wasn't keeping good form before.
My friend told me last night that her son is now a red belt in karate. I think that is so cool! (He's 7).

somebody posted giggity giggity in my journal, and i woke up thinking about it this morning
who was it? that was hilarious! I am going to say that a lot now. or how quagmire says
all RIGHT, I love it!
i sort of am like a female quagmire i guess, but I am not so much into sex as i am into just spending time (not that I am NOT into sex, but you know what I mean). My relationships aren't primarily about sex, although i think all my consorts are sexy. I am not about belt notches or whatever. That is too easy for a girl anyway. I mean seriously, we could just go out in the street and proposition just about any man and get him to have sex with us, but it's the actual back-and-forth relationship/conversation/company thing that's meaningful, you know?
besides, to be honest with you, I have a little purple toy called Old Faithful and if I am just looking for satisfaction in THAT department, I will just bust out Old Faithful. He gets the job done!!!!
best 6 bux I ever spent!

OMG!!!! Sneaky-smooth just emailed me some pictures, and I tried to post them because they are WAY cute and way pretty but they are too big! yipes! But if anyone cares to see how I scored big-time, PM me. I don't expect anyone to get as excited about this as me (obviously) but I am telling you--wow! Everything is coming up Millhouse!

oh oh OH
AND!
Because my physical address is primarily changing starting Dec. 1 to a Loma Linda address instead of this L.A. address, my insurance premium is dropping by $100! That's $100 I save every month! WOW!
And---
I just went shopping and stocked up on a bunch of healthy, delicious food at Trader Joe's. i couldn't be happier! Wow! I feel like I am going to pop!
I have taken a million dumps today too

Woo hoo! The scale said 149.8 this morning, so I was happy! I had a really good day yesterday, got a bunch of work done and then had a visit from my friend D (not a consort, but a good friend. Probably wants to be a consort--well actually, I KNOW he does, but it's not in the cards for him right now). Anyway that was fun, drank some wine and watched some simpsons and just listened to music and talked, so that was cool.
I ate lots of delicious food yesterday, so I am so pleased that the scale still went down:
I had
-a whole bag of pita chips! OMG SO GOOD! with some green olives
-some more green olives
-pumpkin seeds
-ginger snap cookies
-an apple
-green tea
-glass of red wine
I felt so guilty about those chips, but even with them I had about 1675 calories in and somewhere around 1900 out, so that was good. I also walked a little over a mile today.
Today, I sat around chatting on the phone too long this morning and did not go running, but I did do some push-ups, so that felt good. I also drank some green tea. I have not had breakfast yet, and I am leaving straight from home to go to a morningish appointment out in Highland (about 2 hours away), so I will probably have some almonds in the car or something. Something MUFA and portable. And then later, I don't know what I will have. I sorta want a burger, but we'll see how that freaking works out. I could probably make it work as long as I watch what I eat the rest of the day. Because farmer boy burgers.... mmmmmm..... (homer drool). We need a homer drooling icon!
Let me think.... farmer boy hamburger with fries is about 1200 calories. And some nuts will be about 200 calories that makes 1400 calories. Well okay, and then if I have some wine that's like 1325 calories and then I could have some blueberries, that's like 1375 calories. Yes! I could do it! I could definitely do it! And I probably WILL do it! YAY!
AND I have a date with Sneaky-Smooth tonight, which should prove to be very, very fun. I am greatly looking forward to it. Giggidy giggidy!

ooooh- you have mentioned pinot grigio....
if you like it a tad on the sweet side (but not like johanesberg or riesling sweet... no, much less sweet than that...)...l Macmurray. really really tastey stuff and it's not too pricey.
and i can't help but be curious of the red that you had....
and i hope your date was... date-like. in the good way.

wow, that's like one of the nicest compliments i think i have ever gotten!
do you know how boring it is around here when you're not around
wow!
supersize that!
anyway---
The name of the type of red is Valdiguie. Have you ever heard of it? I never had before. Not like I'm some big wine buff or anything, but...
And the date was indeed date-like. Generally good. He looked very extremely handsome and everything was cool and sexy and fun and funny UNTIL...........
!!!!
until he decided to get way too drunk for his own good, finishing almost an entire bottle of wine to his head. At which point he became really sloppy and overflirty and i was just like
dude!
I ended telling him he needed to chill out and go in the backroom and lie down because he was seriously being too much for me, and I certainly wasn't going to send him home as drunk as all that.
I mean at least he was a happy drunk and very complimentary of me---I don't think I have ever been told so many times in a row how pretty and sexy I am---but holy moley dude, even happy piss-drunk is still piss-drunk. And I don't like piss-drunk. I mean not where I can't just briefly be entertained by it and then be out of its presence. I definitely don't like it in my little apartment.
He woke up very sheepish and apologetic, like he shoulda been, so i was like fine dude, you made an #%@&! out of yourself last night. You got way too drunk.
And he was like
I know, I know, my god I am so sorry.
So anyway, I give the dude a little break. I guess being super beautiful really does buy you some points that other people wouldn't get, sorry to say but it's the truth. Because an uglier man could have probably done that and I would have completely never seen him again. But I said
listen to me dude
if you get that drunk again
ever
when we are hanging out, that will be the last time we hang out.
And he said, I will not do that again, I promise. So whatever. I am sure I will see him again, but I don't want to see him again tonight all soon, which was what he wanted to do. I am sure I will get over it, but I am still a little peeved about it. I know everyone makes mistakes and Lord knows I have been piss drunk at inappropriate times, but still. AND I know he's young and only 23, and I remember being a completely moron sometimes when I was 23. Like a real class-A moron sometimes the stunts I would pull. Which is why am I am making a few allowances. Well, those reasons and his physical beauty. (That really does get you points, I didn't realize until just now how much it helps to be REALLY pretty.)
But anyway
the point is
what is the point? i have rambled on a lot, lol
the sort of point is or would be that the date was nice in some aspects until he screwed it up, but he didn't blow it completely and I don't regret it. I was sort of glad that I could regulate so well because before I don't think I would have been able to put him in check like I did last night. So that made me proud of myself.
I also however was a pig in my own right yesterday, so maybe it takes one to know one, but I stuffed my face like CRAZY. I don't know why and I am actually pretty ashamed of it. I haven't done that in a long time, just eaten everything in sight on a non-cheat day. It was like no-holds-barred. It was wrong. It was just plain wrong. lol. FRACK! And I am paying for it today on the scale with a whopping lardbutt weight of 153.8. And furthermore, I feel totally bloated and fat and gross. So I have kept my calories pretty low today, I plan to finish off the day at 1360 calories, absolutely no more. If I can that, I will feel better tomorrow, I think. So for the rest of the night, it's just a banana, some almonds, and water. Lots of water!
And in other news, I have been exploring some super way cool music lately. Molly puts little links in her blogs. I should do that too. I am bitin' it!
So check this one out: It's really awesome! I love love OLD warehouse techno. So beautiful me!

ah.
the waaaaaay too drunk story. got it. yeah, that's a bit over board. it's neat that you kept yourself in check though. i would be proud too!
no, i've actually not heard of that wine, i don't think. i will look it up, though!
oh, i dig the music. it remind me of the cool stuff they would play on Adult Swim. they probably did play zero b. neat. thanks for the exposure!

No man, that second link works I just did it!
I am listening to it right now!!!
anyway, yesterday was better than the day before. Work was pretty good and now they are thinking they might just keep my in Hollywood becasue they didn't read the stinking contract for the Hollywood office (which is basically a gift to us from the city of Los Angeles, we don't pay rent) but we have to be running 2 programs out of it and there has to be degree-carrying people running those programs. And the chick they were going to use in my stead does not have a degree and so the idiots over in corporate made a decision without all the information they needed because they were so desperate to save money on my mileage basically. Wow! They are so dumb! Anyway, whatever. So we'll see what they decide to do. I just think it's funny how the people in charge seriously have no idea what's going on! The more time passes, the more I notice this all the time. It makes me think that you have to be a complete buffoon in order to be in a high position. I don't know man! Crazy!
As far as my eating went, I have made a serious decision to return to NOT eating white carbs except on Sundays. That was when everything was going the best for me body-wise, mental-state-wise, and energy-wise. I started reintroducing white carbs into my diet probably two weeks ago, something like that, when I had a rice dish at a Thai place. Although rice in and of itself is not altogether that bad, it led into more and more white carbs being added until I was back to eating like pizza and pasta and bread and blah blah blah. So, I made the decision this morning, no white carbs. And I did it before, so I know I can do it again!
The only white carb stuff I even have are some ginger snap cookies and some meringue cookies and I know I can leave those alone until Sunday. So, that is my new plan.
The scale said 153 this morning, which was a good drop from yesteryda's 153.8, but I just don't even like to see a number in the 150s really. I need to get back on track and serious, not make little allowances for myself, because I know exactly where those lead, and it's NOT pretty!
In other news--Sneaky-Smooth texted me and called me wanting me to come over and chill with him today, which was nice, but I was like nahhhhh, I just want some time to pass for the piss-drunk image of him to get out of my head, you know?
I have heard from all of my consorts already today wishing me a happy thanksgiving, which I think is really cool! I love having nice, considerate men around, it's awesome!
I also wrote a letter to my birth-aunt, Juliette. I have never had contact with her before, even though I have had her address for a while, I just never got around to writing her. For those of you who don't know, quick rundown:
I was put up for adoption when I was about 4 months old. I just found out who my birthmother was a few months ago. She is dead, she was murdered very brutally by some serial killer cop named Dale Anderson back in 1986. I have one other known blood relative, which is my mother's sister, Juliette.
So, we will see what Juliette says, if she writes back. I thought it would be nice to try and connect with her. I have a picture of Juliette, actually, from a yearbook back in the day when she was a sophomore in high school. I think I look like her a lot, same dimples, same smirk.
And the other very amusing thing that happened to me this morning was that I was trying to microwave something and I guess I put it in for too long because the apartment filled up with smoke and horrible smells and needless to say the food got completely burnt. I was making nachos with the flax soy chips. So maybe the gods were trying to tell me it was too early in the morning for nachos (it was probably about 9:30). But yeah! That was great! I was choking on the smoke and hurriedly threw open every door and window in the place....
And there's my neighbor Jose on the phone outside and he's telling whomever he's talking to about what just happened over here because I come out all coughing and sputtering and there's total smoke pouring out into the atrium of the complex. He's laughing at me and I tell him what happened and he thinks it's all very funny. It is sorta funny. I just think it totally STINKS in here now! I have been burning and will continue to burn sage until the sage overtakes the other smell... man! What a maroon!
Zen: I mean I was glad I kept HIM in check, not myself. I just regulated his butt and I was happy because I don't often give orders to men like that but I had seriously had it and he needed to make a decision which way he was going to go with stuff because I straight up told him I would put him out into the pouring rain and he could figure out what to do from there because I have no tolerance for obnoxious drunks that can't keep their traps closed. I don't care how cute they are. I will put Seth Green himself out in the rain if he is being an obnoxious drunk.
