Hmm, what's new.
let's see. Well I think dan and I might actually be "friends". Sadly this seems to involve not really talking, but... I think i'm finally over everything. And have plans to go out with him and the new GF in a few weeks, and I'm actually really looking forward to it. He made a comment that made all residual feelings magically disappear- which is good. Now can really be platonic friends with no hidden agenda to hopefully 'win him back' or whatever. Yay for healthy relationships.
Had a few spectacularly drama- filled days/nights over the last couple weeks... suffice it to say, I really think all men will cheat if they think they won't get caught. Boo.
Have spent more time than I care to at the stupid Snooty Fox. But... when there are reps there expensing magnums of Veuve... it's hard to say no.
I bought plane tickets to go to Belgium for my vacation in April. Can't wait. Will visit my cousin living there, and may even get to go see my other cousin in Florence. If there's no time for that, will have to 'settle' for a day trip to Paris. Oh, shucks.
I don't know why I hate going to the grocery store so much. I have all these recipes for delicious stuff to make, but just can't bring myself to get in the car and go. I really don't think I've bought food once in 2009 aside from milk to put on cereal. Which means that when I do go, it will be a massive ordeal and I'm sure I'll spend >$200. I eat most of my food at work, and when home I seem to subsist on pickles and popcorn. I was going to go to wegman's today, planned it for days. But made an excuse that now i'll go on friday, and instead of going, answered all my email and caught up on estrip.
but on a somewhat related note, I've lost 14lb since new year's. woot woot.
What else. This is the time of year that I hate Buffalo. It warms up a little, I get all excited, friends around the country are talking about spring... stores have cute clothes out... then it fucking snows again and I want to poke my eyes out. March sucks.
What else. My niece is super adorable. here's a pic. or ten. That navy blue sweater was handknit for me by my mom when I was a baby. It has little silver buttons on the shoulder that are bears. :)
She is a super star!! So pretty!!!
Not all men cheat, it's just the 80/20 rule in play.
"I really think all men will cheat if they think they won't get caught. Boo."?
Now now... we aren't all pigs. Unfortunately, you don't hear about the millions (ok, dozens) who don't cheat.
As for the 'date' with Dan and his GF: do yourself and her a favor, and stay away. Far, far away. I am friends with quite a few of my exes here, and one lesson I've learnt painfully: keep the current and the exes away.
Good luck on the trip to Belgium. Remember: Brussels train station doesn't let you use the restrooms unless you pay 1€ . You're welcome.
I recommend the Thalis to Paris. 2 hours and you're enjoying le vin et le fromage, mon ami.
In terms of the weather I know what you mean. It seems like no mater what it is like there is this magic that makes it get cold on the day of the St. Patrick's day parade. I remember I year it was warm the day before and the day after.
In terms of buying food this is what I would advise. This works for people who take the bus or walk from work also but not often as well. On your way home from work go to what ever place is between the two. I can tell you that when at work you think I'll go home and grab this or quick change and then go out. That doesn't happen once you are home you don't go back out. That is why the best thing to do is when ever you get off work go and get food. Hey if it is a weird hour then go to one of the 24 hour stores like wegmans.
In terms of the double date thing. It is good to see it was a healthy break up now, but that being said it sounds like a bad idea to me.
Congrats on your weightloss. It seems that after losing 14lbs you are well aware of how to do it! Thanks for your input re my cysts. I was thinking of being dishonest and saying they were painful in order to get insurance to pay but that was just a thought. Not so sure I am into the scaring. Hard to say what would be worse.
what a cute bebe!
Definately do not go on a date with your ex and his new thing. It will fuck you up emotionally and probably ruin what would have been a good week. In my opinion, picking the scab would be a tremendous step backwards in the healing process. Even talking still is re-opening wounds.
As far as shopping and feeding yourself go's:
Staple items/dry goods once to every two weeks.
Proteins and produce twice a week.
Start by building a few simple and easy items then build upon your repetoir from ideas found in those recipes. And season correctly.
Ex. Pan seared protein with herb roasted yukon potatoes and sauce component from recipe
We are 80% what we eat and what goes in must come out....Ha...
I think Chris Rock said it best, "A man is only as faithful as his options!"
Those baby pics are so cute.
Not all guys, some of us are easily guilt ridden.
