that's right, 6 pounds gone in 2 weeks. thank you special k challenge. i'm still on it because at the end i still had 5 protein drinks left and that stuff costs money so i thought i'd stay on the plan until they're gone. tonight however, i strayed far from special k and all it's monotony.
i just got back from a girl party in silverlake. it's an annual girl's potluck that i've been going to 3 years running. i brought a salad of cucumber, green apple and avocado. i ate: a chicken-filled pastry from portos, crap dip, carrot salad, kale and corn salad, shrimp with pineapple, brie, mousse, a cupcake, and 2 glasses of pinot noir. now i'm no longer a hungry caterpillar. it was so much fun and i didn't want to leave but i had to come home to calm crying baby. when i was on my way out the party had hit it's crescendo of fun and i was sad to go. that's the best time to leave i guess, when the night hasn't worn itself out.
it's been a couple of days since i've posted so i want to take a few seconds to acknowledge my friend jyvonne and her new-found culinary prowess. she's a genius in the kitchen. i had lunch at her house on thursday and she made an exquisite golden door type salmon walnut salad. then as the meal was closing she decided to fry up some Gruyere beignets. amazeballs. she texted me the next day to say she made them again with an accompaniment of tomato jams.
i'm so proud of the unemployed people in my life who are not giving up on themselves. i know i just shifted gears rather suddenly there but in my mind it was a smooth transition because i was thinking of jyvonne. she now has 2 cello students and is reporting for lesbian festivals. my sister is writing bisexual erotic fiction online and i am crafting to make a few bucks. we're all without "real" jobs and we're all turning to something artistic and of ourselves to fill our days. there's no way we would be doing these things in a better economy.
today i cycled pre and i to the library. tomorrow is ciclavia and i'm so excited, in fact, i'm not having anymore wine tonight because i don't want to be groggy tomorrow. yay ciclavia!!!
