| it's amazing how refreshed you feel after 20 extra minutes of sleep. my coworkers come in at 9 every morning and leave at 5. for the past 3-4 months, i've been arriving at work at 8:00 - 8:15 and leaving at 5. that didn't sound right to me, so i decided to leave a little later than usual and i STILL made it here before everyone! i think it helped that there was hardly any traffic this morning. strange for a tuesday morning. last night after stopping off at my parents house to get some pictures, i went back to sf to stuff my face with dinner. i was so hungry. i blended the veggies in my soup and made a soup puree. i had boiled an artichoke the night prior, so it was ready to eat. usually i dip the artichoke in garlic mayo, or just mayo, but i had it plain and it was so yummy! the best part, of course, being the heart. i warmed it up by putting it in my soup. mmmMMMmm. i ate my plate of lettuce, spinach, asparagus, and zucchini. i was getting full, but i already started boiling my potato, so after drizzling it with a bit of butter and chili powder, i stuffed myself. seriously STUFFED myself. i pooed twice last night and felt so much better. this morning, i weighed myself and i'm at 134 pounds. day 3: eat all the vegetables and fruits you want. green leafy veggies are best, no potatoes today. no bananas, but watermelon, cantaloupe, and honeydew are best. i forgot to mention yesterday that i am allowed to drink coffee black, no sugar or cream, plain tea, sugar free juice, and water. absolutely no soda or alcohol is allowed. i don't drink coffee, or much tea, so i've been downing jugs of water. i brought pear, apples, plums and the green veggie variety dish, hehe, for lunch today. it's been hard eating the spinach tho, because it makes my mouth so sandy. but i'm looking forward to lunch. i'm getting a bit hungry. that pear this morning didn't do much for me, except push my poo out. yes the first one of the morning. hehe enough poo talk? how bout more gripping wedding talk? parkin's mom brought up something about the wedding that i was very unhappy about. damn chinese superstitions. but i am not changing anything. i don't even believe in those things! and to bring it up only 6 weeks before the wedding made me even angrier. not like i was going to change my mind if it was brought up earlier, but i'm already frantic enough as is. parkin, who doesn't really believe in superstitions either, i think wants me to change my mind, but i'm not going to. it's ridiculous. it makes no sense to me, any superstitions, especially if it's not explained to me. saying, "it's not good luck" means nothing to me. it's like the whole candle thing i went through with my mom a few months ago. i wanted to use floating candles as center pieces but candles are bad luck so i couldn't. why? because it's bad luck! why is it bad luck? because it is! bah! then i started thinking about the things i wanted to do if we had a smaller wedding. like making place cards for guests to hand out when they sign in. like handing flowers to mothers for mother's day which is the following day after our wedding. like having centerpieces for each table. just doing things that i want to do to to make guests feel good about being there, for me to just enjoy and revel in the ambiance... it's just not possible with so many friggin tables! i feel like i'm sacrificing things not only because of the lack of money i have, but because with so many tables, with so many people, it's just not plausible. and i dont' want to spend the extra time and money for the 300+ out of 700 people i dont' even know. does that make any sense? it's a good day tho, gotta think positively. being negative just makes me tired. frowning gives me wrinkles. speaking of the face, i was picking at some things on my face last night and now i have big red dots on my cheek. hehe. they weren't pimples, but in chinese i call them little rice balls. they're these teeny white hard dots in my skin that i like to pick out. at work yesterday, i felt my face and felt a bunch of them on my right cheek so before i went to bed, with a needle in hand i picked away. yes, i know how unsanitary that is, but i've been doing this for years and my skin is use to it. i got about 2 rice balls out of the 4 i was trying to pick out. :) linkin park's new cd is out. yah baby! i can't wait to get my grubby hands on it. their first song is already out and it's badass. so is the video. i'm in love with chester. hehe. i think that they're going to be in the bay area during their tour, but i believe that they'll be here while jung and i are on our honeymoon. *darn* i'd love to see them live and get bashed in the mosh pit. haha. *smacking lips* still 2 more hours til lunch, so i think i'll much on some more fruit for now. have a great sunshiney day everyone! |
