  • I am enjoying my three day weekend. Right now, if it were a normal Friday, I would have my lunch all packed and I'd be climbing into my car for 8 hours of toil in the lab. HA! Instead, I'm sitting here in my tie-dyed shirt and my cute little black VS panties and nothing else enjoying the day at home with the furries. Sadly, bootcamp does NOT take holidays so there was no sleeping in today though! I am anticipating the pleasure of a nap here relatively quickly.

    Speaking of bootcamp - it was pretty rough this morning. I know she (the trainer) kicked it up a notch this morning because we're half-way through this "Fat Blast" two week camp but I don't think that was why it was rough. While I was doing my stupid jump squats I realized that at least one meal a day for the past four days, I have eaten poorly. And super poorly at that (cookies and freezer pizza anyone?). Clearly, 2 healthy, veggie-ridden meals a day is not enough. I need to eat well for basically all the meals. I am proud that I have managed to stay away from the soda - I passed the one month with no soda mark about a week ago and completely forgot about it. I'm even down to one glass of caffienated, artificially sweetened tea a day.  Otherwise, I am drinking water (usually 2 L a day) or Crystal Light (1/2 strength or less because if I drink full strength it makes me gag on the super-over the top sweetness).

    I need to get a new wedding ring. Mine has gotten too big to be safe for much longer. I'm guessing it is anywhere from 1 size to 1.5 sizes too big. Given that I use my hands a lot and I wash my hands a lot for work, I'm afraid of losing it. Not that it's a big monetary thing ($55 on sale ring! I loooooove sales!) but it's a big personal attachment kind of thing. So, rather than lose something I'm really attached to, I am going to buy myself a titanium chain (since titanium actually holds up to my bizarre-ass body chemistry and doesn't make me get ouchy or icky) and put my too big wedding band on the chain and wear it all the time. So - anyone have any artists/sites/ideas on good, simple wedding bands in the less than $200 range that will hold up to latex, constant handwashing, gratuitous weight lifting and exercise, as well as housecleaning and all the pets? I need a ring I NEVER have to take off because, if I take it off, I will lose it. I am...absentminded I guess you could say when it comes to such things.
