Sunday mentionables...

1.  I have planned out three meals for the week thanks to EatingWell.com.  I have amassed quite a long list of quick, easy, low calorie dinner recipes.  I'm hoping that if I can manage to make three meals this week, I can make like 6-8 servings worth of food for plenty of lunches and dinners.  Windy weather has me in the mood for some Spicy beef with shrimp and bok choy, brothy chinese noodles, and lemon & dill chicken. (update:  I made the spicy beef for dinner -- it's a winner!)

2.  After looking on Monster.com for 15 minutes, I found D a new job that has the same description and responsibilities of his current job, but in a professional, structured, and supportive work environment.  He knows things like this are meant to be, change is natural, and he is open to moving on to a new job.  He is applying tonight....keep your fingers crossed!

3.  Thanks to my girlfriend Lindsey, I now have all the study materials necessary for taking the wretched GRE.  The book has been sitting next to me all day, and I swear on my life that I am going to at least flip through it before the day is over.  Goal:  Take the GRE two times (or three, if needed) before August, starting in June.

4.  While Narayan slept today I watched the 'Deadliest Catch' marathon of season summary episodes to prepare myself for the season premiere this week.  Anytime it comes on I'm like, really?  do we have to watch this?  and after one episode I'm freakin hooked and can't look away.  soo much king crab drama.

5.  Yesterday we went to the mall to escape the wind and walk around.  Big mistake.  The mall is GHETTO.  There were five million people and I was afraid of all of them.  Children, teens, adults...all of them.  Now I know why people resort to online shopping.  Anyways, I picked up some new flashy tenny-shoes.  My old addidas have been with me for like 8 years and I think my feet have grown because they are a half size too small and my toes always hurt.  Introducing los Nikes:

6.  We are going camping next weekend.  Too soon?  Is that what you're thinking?  Well I agree, but these men have their minds set on it and there's no getting out of it.  Throughout the next week, if you are at a red light, or eating lunch, or trying to fall asleep, say a few little prayers for me that it will be a very warm and dry weekend so that I don't turn into a popsicle.
