Meal Three

I promise I'm actually going to eat dinner today!  Probably fish and rice.  That sounds really good. 

So, yeah, I start out pretty good, with about the healthiest stuff available at the snack bar.  And then by the time I go home, I'm so tired and hungry and blah that I don't even care.  Until I get home and realize just what I was eating...  Oh well.  It's not a permanent job, and as soon as I start fall semester, I'll go back to one meal a day and hiking the hill at least once a day.  Probably twice, since the only place I can find parking is way up at the top of the hill near the math building.  And my math classes are in the middle of my schedule, I think, so I'll go down the hill for some classes, up for math, and then back down for other classes and finally up again to go home.  Gah.

Work today was hilarious.  I was working with the two high school girls.  I've worked with them both before, but not together.  Well, they got bored and started deep frying random stuff.  Like pickles.  And a lime.  Of course, they had to try all of their creations.  Apparently, the lime was the worse.  One of them said, "Words cannot describe that hell."  Then the tomato, the fried pickle, and the grilled pickle was the most tasteful of the lot.  And then one of them got the idea to fry a dead moth that had been sitting in the window track for probably years.

And then she ate it.

She said it was better than the lime, but she felt like it was crawling around in her throat, even though it had been dead for who knows how long, then dipped in hot oil.

I just stood back and laughed at them so hard...

We got our new phone, finally!  We found a VoIP service that's lots cheaper than our verizon, and it's so much better for us, cause neither of us like people being able to call us anywhere, anytime.  The only time a cell's useful is when I tell Loren when he needs to come pick me up from school, and the school has free public phones for just that reason.  We will be keeping our cells, though, just on the most basic, cheap plan, which is $20 a month per phone, rather than $55.  With the VoIP, we get unlimited local and long distance for only $25 a month, which adds up to a savings of almost $50 a month.  And we probably won't renew our contract when it comes due.  Then it'll be a savings of almost $90 a month.  I can't believe we stuck with verizon for so long.  The only reason we did was because the cancelation fees were so much.  They'll do anything to keep you there.

In an effort to avoid the massive balloon-effect that the free, greasy food at my job will undoubtably give me, I'm going back to what I made this blog for in the first place, that is, recording my eating.  I have to admit, it's been really embarressing.  I don't have a scale, so I don't really know how much I've gained already, but I can tell I have.  Loren says I look fine, but he'd say I look fine if I was bald and wearing a potato sack.  He's just sweet like that.

So, for today:

Breakfast  (if you can call it that after noon):

Toast

Crystal Light lemonaide

Lunch:

BBQ Chicken sandwich

Pasta salad

Cookie

Dinner:

Split pea soup

More lemonaide

Oh, yeah!  I found something in our rental agreement that might let us get a pet!  We both want a cat so bad.  So we're going to talk to the manager about it when we go to turn in the new agreement.  I hope we can, and that it's not just for seeing eye dogs and the like.  I miss having a cat!  I would really have to work harder to keep the house clean, because Loren's slightly allergic, but I think if I vacuum regularly and if the cat isn't allowed in our bedroom, it would work.  I hope so!
