terrified

everyone seems to love these, so they can't be that bad...then why am I afraid of it? did you know that these cost over $3 per bottle?

dining room

comment issues

I want my commenters to know that I'm having issues posting comments in response to yours! Jenny, let's totally do lunch at that buffet. Jenn, polyvore is an awesome way to waste time!

can you believe that I only had one meeting to attend (telecon) today, and I totally forgot to dial in??? I dismissed the reminder, then spaced out until waaay too late.

I heart polyvore

obviously I have a lot of technique refining to do, but I am totally addicted to polyvore. what is polyvore you say? well, since I'm so behind all trends, you all most likely already know about it...but if you don't: the polyvore tool allows you to cut photos out of various websites and save them to your polyvore file (or you can search within polyvore for photos). once you collect some images, you can create a collage without photoshop. there are a lot of limitations to the editing functions, but it's still pretty cool. the only frustrating part is that there are a lot of websites you can't clip from. but still, there are a lot you can clip from.

plummy prune prune

I meant to post this photo yesterday. there were three prunes in the pictured container, but I scarfed two down before thinking that a photo of my snack was in order. the prunes were merely months old, but still delicious. hey, sometimes one gets a little desperate for a healthy snack whilst working!

repeat repast

the fabulous ktiker and I went to an Indian food buffet yesterday. we were steered there by Jaime, who is replacing my very own ktiker at work. sigh. I've avoided breaking down in tears thus far, but let me say that there is no one who would make a satisfactory stand-in...there are not so many giggles happening when K8 is not in the cube adjoining mine.

the good news is that Jaime apparently knows a decent Indian buffet when she encounters one. it was delicious! (by the way, I'm not saying that I'm not looking forward to working with Jaime). it was so delicious that I went back for seconds, hit a solid wall about three bites into that second plate, and then kept going.

if only I could keep going like that when I hit a wall during a run.

the bad news (for me) was that I was so full, there was still food slooshing around in my tummy while I was on the treadmill. I wanted to reach my goal of adding one mile to my continuous run every month, but to do that I had to run two miles in a row yesterday. I know it doesn't sound like much, but to me it's a lot, especially after not being in the gym for such a long time. I made the two mile marker, but boy, was I afraid that something "bad" might happen (and I mean something besides me collapsing from being out of breath). phew!
