or even any of those little cheap food containers you can get in the plastic sandwich bag section of the grocery store. what id o have, is lots and lots of little baggies. which will all need to be assemblied at work. hopfefully i have an allen wrench at my desk.
note: the blue cheese i bought was made by the amish, who are trying to make a living with their simple ways, so buy their cheese. i don’t know how the amish managed to ship blue cheese all the way to seattle. amish pony express?

well, i’m well behind where i wanted to be. word count is 2157.day two and i’m already behind. this morning, i was only at 557… and not very happy about the whole thing. but fee’s right, i have to remember to have fun with it, and i just wrote 1600 words. i feel much better about what i wrote tonight, than what i did yesterday. and i imagine i will kick word count ass during the week, because i tend to get more done when a: i am busy and b: at work. there is nothing like being at work to become inspired to do your own stuff.
that being said, i can’t work on my own stuff during the day… we got a talking to about a variety of sins on friday. out of all the sins that were covered, there was only one that i felt that i was completely innocent of. but i was guilty, at some level, of the others. granted, they were stated rather ambiguously and generally. but i still felt the shame. i have scheduled a meeting room for lunch, however, and mary and i are going to write.
speaking of lunch, i am currently cooking a chicken breast for my lunch tomorrow. damn it… i’m cooking!! and packing lunches? i broke out the george forman grill. this is madness, this diet. stupid diet. if they had a low carb/ high protein restaurant with a drive thru, THAT might work for me.
cooking is dumb. so are carbohydrates.

evil has breeched the sanctity of my home. i have purchased… a scale. i’ve never owned one. i’ve never brought one into my house. there always seemed to be ample places to find out how much you way. as if you’d want to know. i think we had one when i had roommates, but i can’t remember. i know my mom had one growing up. but i myself have never owned one. but i’m starting a high protein/ low carb diet tomorrow. and weighing yourself, even after you hit goal, is supposed to be part of your daily routine. neat. i’m not doing atkins. i’m doing curves. which is supposed to be similar to the south beach diet. like i care. this is the book i have, i’ve had it for months, and it’s the one that made the most sense to me. so… whatever.
i, in fact, bought two scales… i bought a food scale as well. oooooh. everything about going on this diet goes against my beliefs. well, except for the idea that everyone should eat lots of meat and cheese. that i totally agree with. but i had to PLAN OUT what i was going to eat for the week. i made until weds, which is pretty good for me. and then i had to MAKE A GROCERY LIST. a real one. the kind you stick to. what’s up with that? i spent so much freakin’ money. i’ve never spent that much money on nonpreapackaged foods or household items before. i bought meat from a butcher!! which is to say, larry’s still has that old fashioned notion of people behind a counter who know what they are talking about, helping you. it’s kind of scary to a girl like me. they have people that specialize in cheese! anyway, i had to tell a guy what i wanted, while he cut it up for me. whoa. i had a basket full of meat. i have two pork chops, three steaks, four chicken breasts [skinless], maple cut bacon, honey smoked ham and hebrew national hotdogs. i think that’s it. while i only planned out through weds, i have plenty of meat for days. and days. and days. you know what? it looks GOOOOOOD.
tonight, however, i am having cheese ravioli with butter and lemon pepper. because i’m not going to see pasta for a while.
update to be continued later tonight. …with Part 2: nanowrimo
