  Finally the cold is subsiding. Last night was the first in many that I actually slept the whole night without getting up to blow my nose, cough up something, or pee! When my alarm went off I was like, "Yes, finally a full night's sleep! I did it! " This morning I don't feel anymore alert than usual though, funny how that works.
Last night I made up for my lazy sick week, I was hyper productive! Besides finishing my second article for Options magazine--which was like pulling teeth to write--I vacuumed, did the dishes, cleaned out half of my shoes, went on a power walk, and cooked like mad. I don't know what it was but I just couldn't sit down. I felt so antsy. Overall I was really impressed with my cooking abilities. Usually when I get home I draw a blank when it comes to preparing something for dinner. A sandwich, canned soup, really that's it, all I eat or "cook".
But last night I was determined to 'clean-out' my freezer before the move, which inspired me to become creative. I made lemon caper chicken, curry chicken marsala, and my most proud concoction, a spinach shrimp and rice bisque. Just tried a spoon full of this one and it seemed tasty, we'll see how it really is this afternoon at lunch. I guess I realized I'm not as much of a cooking degenerate as I thought...there is hope! Yesterday I filled out the application for the Apprentice.
I love that show and think it would be fun to be on it. Unfortunately, I think I'm past the deadline. The web-site says semi-finalist interviews are March and April, but then they are holding open calls this weekend across the country (not in LA though) so wouldn't that mean if I send my tape in by mid next week then I'd make it? Not sure, may still try but also may just wait until next season. The probability of actually getting on the show is so low, and they're probably looking for 'super model' type girls and that is definitely not me, but it is worth a shot. Whether it's this season or next, I will be applying for The Apprentice! A coworker of mine has offered to set me up with one of his friends. This is the same coworker that set me up with that guy that I thought was sooo great over the phone and when we met in person it just wasn't there, at all. This time however, I've seen the guy he wants to set me up with and introduced myself. Definitely cute, and graduated from USC with his MBA so I know he is motivated and hopefully has a good job/future in front of him.
We'll see, I'm not sure if David suggested we hang out or if this guy asked if I'd want to hang out. Who knows, but I hope he was the one inquiring. I'm sending a shout-out to Kim this morning. Sorry for your blah day, those suck. Just remember, you can use these three years for the rest of your life to make George do anything you want...you've paid your dues ;) Hang in there!
One more thing...I'm seriously contemplating do the Atkins diet. Not psycho carb-a-phobic method but just trying to eat few carbs. I learned at that health lunch I went to that your body burns carbs first, fat second, and protein last. So if I eat too many carbs my body doesn't get to my fat storage for feul. I guess the key is then, low-fat protein and veggies. Working out will just expedite the process of burning this layer of fat that is becoming thicker by the week. Don't want to be super skinny by any means just want to be very comfortable wearing shorts, being naked, etc.... I don't want to fully subscribe yet to trying this but it's on my mind for sure!
