So, here are some things that I’ve got going on:
I bought a sewing machine! That I have no idea how to use! But I’m excited about it!
Attended the Jacks Mannequin concert on Tuesday. So fun. I love him. LOVE. (but maybe love him with Something Corporate more…) Openers Venka and Lady Danville were great too!
Working on my fitness. Dan has taken my goal of getting into serious shape his mission. He’s my trainer. I’m really sore. He tells me to get used to it.
I find social norms in the professional world hilarious/frustrating. Case in point: My Super Important Client is obsessed with sushi, especially this certain joint down town. He’s in there so much that they’ve named a roll after him. Seriously. My problem is that I’ve TRIED AND TRIED to acquire some sort of affection for sushi, but I just can’t. I don’t like it and I’ve come to terms with the fact that I probably never will. This proves to be a problem when my client picks sushi for lunch EVERY TIME WE MEET and I have to suffer through each and every bite. I think he finally got the hint today when I only ate two pieces of something called the “Pink Dragon” asked for a second bowl of miso soup. So maybe he’ll think to venture out next time we go to lunch.
And while were’ on the subject, is it just me or does sushi have some sort of hipster/elitist, social status connected to it? I’m not some close-minded, unadventurous, antithesis of a foodie or something, ok? I love food! Thai, Indian, Greek…..seafood even! I just prefer mine cooked a bit.
Anyways.
Speaking of food, I’m also trying to eat clean, or Paleo, if you will. It’s going pretty good. I’ve cut our sugar, bread, pasta, etc. Basically, anything that a caveman wouldn’t eat. (another reason I can’t do sushi – all that rice) Other than searing headaches from the Diet Coke withdrawals and hunger pangs 15 minutes after I eat, it’s been great! Just hoping this “detox” period is over soon so I can start feeling full again. You don’t realize how addicted to carbs you are until they are gone.
I want to be a peacock for Halloween. I found a DIY costume tutorial that I wanted to try (with my new sewing machine!) but I'm not sure how realistic it is for me to learn how to sew in 2 days. We'll see.
I have a headache. That's all for now.

WHAT!!! I feel like I haven't talked to you in ages. Mostly because I haven't :). 1. NO CARBS??? You are crazy. I am a carb addict and I admit it. I love carbs way more than I love any other food. 2. How's the sewing coming? 3. Since when did you stop liking sushi? I remember multiple trips to sushi bars at your choice... ??
Wait. I just got a sewing machine too (& am sort of embarrassed about this fact). Let's support eachother as we learn, yes?
I love sushi, but I understand your abhorrence I suppose. I mean, it's raw. And squishy. But don't they have cooked dishes?! At least snack on some edamame?
