friday, november 8

gat damn it's pouring!  it took me almost 2 hours to get to work this morning.  when i left the house at 7:30am, it was fine, but once i got past the split of civic center/bay bridge, i was stuck.  there was a car pulled over on the far left lane causing a huge backup, then as i got closer to the lower deck of the bridge, a lake had formed there over night that cars had to slowly trudge thru.  stop and go all the way and finally i've arrived here to work. *whew*  luckily i had the morning show to listen to this morning, and happy thoughts of today being friday kept me awake. the rain makes for some crazy drivers, i tell ya.  yesterday on my way home from work, i was driving towards the bay bridge.  if you are familiar with this bridge, you'll know that the far far right lane is a carpool and bus lane.  well i was in the right lane, not the carpool lane, and there was a stupid white jeep that i guess accidentally drove thru the carpool/bus lane, but right before the the toll area, he or she pulled into my right lane, perpendicular to me and the rest of the cars in traffic and drove his/her way all the way to the middle fastrak lane.  did that make sense?  basically he/she cut straight across, pependicularly cutting everyone off, just to get into the fastrak lane.  lameass.  so dangerous. *shaking head* weighed in at 131 this morning, but just had my morning poo, so i might weigh 130 now. haha.  last night i finished off the rest of my bananas, 6 in all, and had 3-4 bowls of soup.  since i got to have some milk, i pureed the vegetables in my soup and added some milk and seasoning for a creamy veggie soup.  it was really yummy and parkin loved it.  i also had a yummy banana shake, about 3 cups. mmm.  it was yum.  then i prepared my lunch for today.  steak!!!  i picked up some fajita steak strips at the store last night and 3 vine tomatoes.  man tomatoes are expensive.  tonight, imma have... you guessed it, steak.  i can eat 16-20 ounces of steak today and up to 6 tomatoes with at least 8 glasses of water to rid the acid.  and of course the soup.  good eats tonight. here are some pictures from last friday's soiree for selina's birfday.  it was so much fun and the food was awesome.  mmm, just looking at the food makes my tummy grumble.

it was so much fun seeing old friends again.  :) oh, and big thanks to this wonderful wahine for a *sweet* package in the mail! people, please drive safe out there.  share a warm weekend with the  people you love.  it's raining, traffic will inevitably go slow.  pop in some soothing music, listen to the raindrops fall.  be patient.  be kind.  be smart. ~
