Sweet Dreams

It's only been a couple of days, and last night I was dreaming about cookies and cake. The last couple of years we have gone to Logan's Roadhouse to celebrate the end of Passover. Ah--hot, soft, yeast rolls with lots of butter! I think we'll drive up to York, PA to do that again this year. And I'm going to have to find some cake somewhere too.

Random Things

It finally happened. Someone recognized me in the grocery store. She asked if I used to work at Maryland General. I knew she looked familiar, but I thought I was just imagining it. I didn't tell her my name so I wonder if she thinks I'm Brown, or Fort (a coworker that people always got me mixed up with).

I started applying for jobs yesterday. I already received one rejection. I'm over-educated and under-qualified. I spent all day online today and only applied to one job--and that one is far away. It is all very frustrating.

It smells funny outside. Like cows. And manure. Ew. I smelled it while driving on the freeway and in the parking lot of the grocery store. Strange.

Passover starts tonight. No bread or crackers for eight days. I'm also going to give up chips because I've been eating too many lately.

Another Great Day!

Today was another great day. We spent hours walking through and sitting under the blooming cherry trees with the Lusters. Toward the end of our visit it started snowing cherry blossoms. Just beautiful.

See Valerie's post for a more details and more photos.

Fun Fun Fun!

My day didn't start out fun because I sat in traffic for an hour (and still had to drive half an hour), but it sure turned out to be a great day. After lunch, Valerie and I shopped the Columbia Mall until we were totally worn out. I ended up spending money (oops) on a pair of linen blend capris. I got to drive the car with the top down today! Yeah, sun! To top off such a fun day Ross and I went to the dairy for ice cream. They didn't have cake batter, but they did have free samples of avocado--and I like it!

Up for tomorrow: cherry blossoms in DC.

Fuddy Duddy

I'm beginning to feel old. I'm not just uninterested in Facebook and Twitter, I refuse to join up. I am not interested in anyone's minute to minute activities, and I can't see why anyone would be interested in mine. Throwing virtual sheep is for 14 year olds. It all seems like a big waste of time. If there is anyone desperately looking for me on Facebook (yeah, right) they'll just have to find some other way to contact me.

Things Have Changed

Well, I guess things are always changing. Today I did a really old work out. It was the first work out video I ever bought. I bought it to get in shape for the wedding. After the first time I did the video I had trouble getting up the stairs to our apartment because my legs were so sore--and I didn't even get through the whole thing! Today I did every rep, and with much heavier weights than I used to. These are good changes. On Tuesday I hit a whole new low with my weight. This is the lowest I've been in my adult life. Woohoo!

My Girl

Yesterday Bailey was looking curiously at my tea cup and I said "It's green tea Bailey. You like jasmine, but you can try it if you want." That struck me as something funny to say to a cat, but she really does like jasmine tea. My girl is special.

She eats all sorts of fruits, but her favorite is banana. Her favorite treat is beef jerky. Like her Papi she likes anything sweet. I find it odd that she doesn't love cheese--and she can't tolerate fish.

Her two favorite toys are a curtain tie (which we have never actually seen her play with) and a tennis ball.

My girl is wacky, and I love her for it.
