Well, I don't know about you all, but, I really enjoyed the long weekend. And yes, it's Monday and just as crazy (if not crazier) as usual around here! Naturally, I'm dreading kickboxing tonight, and I'm trying to think up ways to miss class, but still work out... So far, I haven't really come up with many other great ideas. Mainly because none of those ideas make room for cooking dinner, eating dinner, letting dinner settle, going for a run (which at this point will be very late evening) and watching Jon & Kate Plus 8. Yikes! So, I guess I'll just suck it up....
1. I got a trans-Atlantic phone call yesterday from BFF L in Estonia (I know, I know). Today she's going to the opera in St. Petersburg, Russia. I'm not at all jealous or anything.
2. I recently rekindled my love affair with Whole Foods (take that Central Market) and oh my, it was good to start that up again. And, bonus, I got out of there for under $60 (which, is a record, I'm sure). Ohhh yummy Whole Foods and my yummy in my tummy juice, ice cream, fattening dessert that will not be mentioned here (it's organic, so, that's OK, right?), arugula, saffron... Oh I cannot wait to cook dinner tonight!
3. I'm now an official employee at my workplace (which is funny because I've been here for more than 1 year), but, this means that heck yes, I can now go to the super awesome gym without paying an arm and a leg. Sweet!--This also helps accomplish my previous goal of wanting to lose some more chub by the end of August.
4. I really want to learn a foreign language. I've debated this for ages. I couldn't ever narrow it "Spanish would be good...I live in the U.S, that's basically the second language here, I could practice with Rach, I was semi-fluent in college...It would be the easiest..." But then it would lead to this "But, I really want to go to France. Like, I have to go to France. And, I'd really like to learn French because I would love to take a cooking class in France, and well, the French like you to at least try their language... So, French.... Ok..." But then... this would happen: "But, husband wouldn't ever go to France. I mean maybe, to watch the Tour, but, even still, that would be pushing it. And, I'm not really about to go to France alone.... So, if I can't go to France... Well, maybe I could convince him to go to Italy. It's doubtful, but, I would probably do better to fight for Italy than France...." So, at this point, we've got me learning 3 different languages. I mean, I'm awesome and all, but, yeah... we'll see....
So, thanks to this lovely lady,

So, thanks to this lovely lady,
and this episode, I think I have finally decided that yes, I must go to Italy, and thus, I must learn Italian. Plus, I can take evening classes at a discounted rate--once the Italian classes start again (wah whoo!)
5. I also want to take a creative writing class. Who knew I actually would want to learn stuff post-college? I know, fascinating.
6. I wish I was going to the Russian Opera tonight.... Whatever, I'm watching American TV. That so much cooler. (now, please excuse me while I got pout)
7. I did not make patriotic cookies or cobbler and my cupcakes were less than impressive. Yummy, yes, but, I couldn't find the sprinkles I needed and they ended up looking like Baby Boy Baby Shower Blue with red sprinkles. Plus, I haven't figured out the new oven and the cupcakes ended up taking a shape that resembled, well, misshaped boobs. I'm so not kidding. (only I could end up with boob shaped cupcakes). Alas, no one could tell because I slathered them in frosting.
I suppose that I've overwhelmed with my rantings for today... I apologize.... Now, I better go nurse this dizzing headache and down some water--that helps, headaches, right??

yes, this monday is totally overwhelming. I'm sick- which I hate. So I feel the pain of your headache. Sorry about your funny shaped cupcakes- the good news there is the shape doesn't affect the taste, so they were probably still delicious!
