6/10/04

Stop the presses, Nate has acid reflux! That's right... he's been reduced to eating nothing but pasta and bread. I guess that means I will have to eat the rest of the good food in the house. What a sad life I live.

Nate and I have been "walking away the pounds" for the last 3 days, consistently (well, he skipped a day). I think Fit Day is lying to me or something, because everyday it says I burn like twice as many calories as I eat, or close to it, and I haven't lost one pound for a long time. The good part is that I didn't GAIN any pounds on the cruise. Who knows.

One of my summer classes is officially over, which means I only have one for the rest of the semester. Next week I start the IT Leadership Program, which I am slightly annoyed about because I found out today that two of the program meetings are in Wexford and Warrendale! How in the hell am I supposed to get there??? Well, Nate can take me, but still. I was only planning on taking off work an hour early on those days, but Warrendale is like over an hour away! I am peeved that they didn't tell me this information before applying for the program, but oh well. I'll figure something out, but I'm still ticked.

One month until we move! I have a date set for the cable people to come and set us up in the new place and that is key. We also signed up for Comcast cable internet today, so goodbye forever, Verizon. You won't have the chance to screw up my life ever again. Unless it is in the phone area only, which you haven't screwed up that badly for me yet.

I guess I am too antsy to move or something since I set up this stuff a month before we move. I always think that is a good time to do stuff, though. Like, I know some people wait until a week or a few days before moving to do stuff like forwarding mail, but I always like to get things out of the way really far in advance. Otherwise, I stress about it and get annoyed that it is one more thing on my To Do list of life and I have a semi freak out attack and Nate wonders what the hell my problem is. I just wish there was a button you pushed when you were moving and all your bills, magazines, TiVo subscriptions, utilities, etc. were transferred and good to go. There probably is some kind of service like that for lazy rich people who can't figure out how to do anything on their own. Perhaps I should look into going into that business.

I think that we will finally buy frames for our diplomas before we move... maybe. It's only been slightly over a year since I graduated and over a year and a half since Nate graduated, but that's cool. At least I didn't find my diploma in a pile of towels when I was moving, Kim.

There has been at least like 6 people come and look at our apartment so far and no one has rented it yet. Obviously they don't know that it's a deal... and it is even more of a deal now because they lowered the rent like 40 dollars for the next people!!! I guess the "deal" is that rent is cheaper, but now you have to pay for parking which we don't have to do. You win some, you lose some.

Last night I polished and waterproofed four pairs of shoes. It was most invigorating.

New Road Rules started on Monday... what a steaming pile of horse shit. I am either getting older or the people they pick for these shows are becoming more deluded, more provocative, more dumber (heh), and more TOTALLY OBNOXIOUS. And yet I keep watching. I found out today that old seasons of Road Rules (like season 1!) are being aired on Fox and the WB at various times during the week. I set TiVo accordingly.

On an unrelated note, I was having a discussion with Nate the other day how I am annoyed when people think that because we are vegetarians, we must only eat salad. I eat tons of different kinds of food, and I found that on the cruise, the vegetarian non-dinner items were very limited and I was sad about it. As a result, a lot of the times Nate and I could only eat like a plate of rice, some bread, and vegetables for lunch or something, which isn't bad, but wasn't as lavish as the plates the other meat eating variety of people had prepared. So, I think that people think vegetarians eat nothing is because in a lot of social situations like that where the food is clearly not geared toward a vegetarian diet, people see that you aren't eating too much and figure that that is what your diet is like all the time. Just the other day at a work event, there was salad at a little reception we were having, but I didn't want any. Someone asked, "What??? YOU don't want any salad? I guess it's because you eat it all the time." The kind of infuriated me for whatever reason, but I just said no, no I don't. I eat salad like once a week, if that. I know plenty of meat eaters that eat it just as often. In conclusion, Royal Caribbean needs to get a wider variety of food (and HEALTHY food, instead of just pizza, cookies, and ice cream) during non dinner hours. And hey, check out my Fit Day account! You will see that I eat lots of different kinds of food.
