Technical Difficulties
I'm not sure what's up with my header. I changed it a little bit but it's supposed to be the same color as before, not this strange blue. It looks normal when I open it in Photoshop or Preview.
Anyway, the reason for my new header is that I decided that talking solely about what I eat everyday is sort of boring. At first, I was inspired by a bunch of popular food bloggers and thought it'd be a cool thing to do. But then I realized that taking a bunch of food pictures is not that fun and I'm way too lazy. So I decided that I should talk about other things too. I am more than just what I eat and how much I weigh. Sure, that stuff takes up a huge chunk of my brain, but there are plenty of other things in there too.
So, a non-food about me type dealio.
35 things about me:
1. What is your occupation? My actual title is Graphic Production Coordinator. Don't ask me to explain what that means.
2. What color are your socks? I am sans socks at the moment.
3. What are you listening to right now? The music that is myself typing.
4. What was the last thing you ate. Skinny Dipper popsicle
5. Can you drive a stick shift? Damn straight
6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Silver
7. Last person you were on the phone with? Jason
8. Do you like the person that sent this to you? I stole it from a random blog. I have no idea.
9. Favorite Drink? Diet Coke although I've given up the crack to some extent.
10. What is your favorite sport to watch? I'm not very sporty
11. Have you ever dyed your hair? Yes
12.Pets? I really want a Golden Retriever.
13. Favorite Food? Hmm, sushi, hummus, salsa, avocado, tuna, soft serve ice cream.
14. Last movie you watched? Sex and the City
15. Favorite day of the year? Whatever day's a holiday.
16. What do you do to vent anger? Cry or call my mother.
17. What was your favorite toy as a child? I liked dolls. I also had these paper people that I drew and played school with. I was a strange child.
18. What is your favorite? Fall or Spring? Probably spring.
19. Hugs or Kisses? I like both.
20. What kind of pie? Pumpkin or lemon merengue. Key lime is good too.
21. Living arrangements? I live by myself.
22. When was the last time you cried? I'm not sure. The happy pills kinda stop that.
23. What is on the floor of your closet? Clothes
24. Who is the friend you’ve had the longest that you are tagging? I'm not tagging anyone. Jason is the only one who reads this, maybe Lauren too. If they want to be tagged, go for it.
25. The friend that you have known the shortest amount of time that you are tagging? No answer
26. Favorite smell? Cookies. And candles that smell like cookies
27. What inspires you? My friends.
28. What are you afraid of? Losing people that I love, losing my job, Right-Wing Conservatives
29. Plain, cheese, or spicy hamburgers? Veggie burgers. No cheese.
30. Favorite cat breed? Im not a cat person.
31. Number of keys on your key ring? Probably like 6-7. There are some mystery ones on there for sure.
32. How many years at your current job? 1.5 years.
33. Favorite day of the week? Saturday.
34. How many provinces have you lived in? I will change this to how many states have you lived in? 3 - Maryland, Vermont and Georgia

Blog sans camera
I wish my cousin would send me my camera. I had a fun weekend and have no pictures to document it by. I might just have to suck it up and buy another one; I'm not so sure how reliable my cousin is. You know, since he ignored my text and email about the camera.
We went to a new restaurant on Saturday night - Zaya. It was middle eastern. I heart that type of food. We got a baba ghanoush appetizer to start off with. Oddly enough, I like baba ghanoush although I don't like eggplant. I had the vegetarian platter. It came with hummus, spinach, tabbuleh and lentil stew. The service left much to be desired but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt; it's a new restaurant and it was crowded.
I had a busy day on Sunday. Jason and I had tickets to a Braves game so we decided to get brunch beforehand. We went to the Brewhouse. They have a special of two breakfast entrees and a pitcher of Bloody Mary's for $25. Now who can turn that down? Unfortunately, I didn't choose wisely. I got the tofu scramble which sounds healthy but was just drenched in butter/oil. Of course, I still ate it but it wasn't even that good. After brunch, we made our way to Turner Field and watched the game for a few hours. Afterwards, it was still pretty early so we decided to go to the Highlands for another drink. Jason ordered a hamburger at Moe's & Joe's and pretty much devoured all of his fries. *embarrassed face* After our VA-HI excursion, which included more than one drink, we made our way to Piedmont Park for Unplugged in the Park. The main band was A Fine Frenzy but we were tired and didn't end up staying. I actually ran into this guy that I graduated high school with. That's not common considering I grew up almost 600 miles away. After we left, we got some food from Trader Joe's and went home to eat it and pass out. We were fast asleep by 9:30.
If only I had my camera to document the fun. And the greasy tofu.

Still Alive
I don't know where my time has gone. The whole not being able to surf the internet at work thing really puts a damper on my career as a blogger. I can read other people's blogs (hello copy and paste) but as for updating my own, I just seem to forget.
Anywho, I'm still alive and sans camera. I left it at a friend of my cousin's house in Maryland and am patiently waiting for my cousin to send it back to me.
So no pics, not that I have made any delectable creations anyway.

Lunchtime guilty feeling
We had a luncheon today at Ray's on the River. I looked at their menu beforehand and found some good options. But since they took our entire office of 25 people, they had it banquet style. You got a salad, a choice of entree and a dessert. I ate:
salad
some flatbread
glass of wine
salmon
mashed potatoes
and a whole piece of pie
And then for the rest of the day I felt like a disgusting pig. Such is my life. I don't know why I don't let myself enjoy it. All day I've had a stomach ache and felt like I gained 10 pounds from lunch. I tried to roughly estimate the calories and came up with something insane like 1500.
But life goes on and I know that I didn't really gain 10 pounds. I just want to feel like I'm my regular size and I need to lose like 15 pounds to do so.
