today marks the first full day i will have gone without cheese. so far, soooo gooood.
in preparation for my new cheese-free lifestyle, i went to the parlor for what would be my last pizza for many moons. the toppings: artichoke, mushroom, and tomato. i had wanted mushroom and pineapple, but ginger opposed, and i didn’t mind. how perfect it seemed when sheri and tim got pineapple on their pizza. is there no justice?
props to sheri for bringing me back a bottle of vanilla absolut from her cruise, which made for great desert. drinking on the porch was followed by a trip to the crown where i ran into some old friends. it really reminded me of how much i miss hanging with the glamour boys. it also reminded me that some pleasures are best left to the warm and sunny confines of my selective memory. meanwhile, the here and now is what’s important. i can’t say the night ended on a great note, but through it all we had some “moments”. and that’s really the best anyone can hope for.
saturday afternoon, in my last cheese bomb effort, i had enchiladas at julio’s. i (almost) managed to finish the entire plate — the important bits at least — and was unable to eat again for 10 hours. cheese, it was great knowing you, but it’s time to move on. standing naked in the mirror i see what you’ve done to me over these past 24 years, and i don’t think you’re a very good friend. meet my new best friend: heavy cream.
most of saturday was spent in recovery: 8 episodes of Sex and the City, American Psycho, a SALAD at Hyde Park Grill. oh, and no alcohol. saturday evening was the liz phair concert, which tim and i completely failed to attend. my apologies to sheri — i never meant to cause you any sorrow, i never meant to cause you any pain, i only wanted to one time see you laughing in the …
excuse me while i recollect.
feeling like a failure for throwing away 25 bucks on what might have been a good show, i bought two tickets to the eels concert for this saturday at la zona rosa. i’m a bigger fan of the eels than i am liz phair (”electroshock blues” has to be one of my all time favorite albums, and i don’t think i’d pass up an opportunity to hear part of it live). so, hopefully i’ll make it.
in my last stitch effort to make this weekend productive, i ran errands today and went into school for a bit. i finally bought a grill and am looking forward to using it tonight. i think i’ll cook up some asparagus and zucchini with some couscous. my new lifestyle is going to require some major planning and creativity. i’m welcome to suggestions, otherwise i forshadow too many meals taken at the MP or the Clay Pit. not that there’s anything wrong with that.
oh yeah, so my left butt cheek is really sore. not sure what’s up with that, but i’ve quickly learned that i have no idea how to stretch my glutaeus maximus. suggests, please!
or a gentle massage.
