nothing new to report. little bro got here late last night. he missed a really great dinner. but no news. speaking of eating real quick, if you're trying to lose weight or get in shape or eat better or whatever you're trying to do with your body, make sure you're eating enough fiber! cleaning out your intestines and taking a huge poop, while totally gross, will really make you feel lighter and better and you'll notice a lot less belly bloating, which i know many of us ladies are concerned about. i'm only mentioning this because boy and i were being kind of lazy the past two weeks with diet, and were eating out a lot (like chick fil a and popeye's! what were we thinking!?), and i noticed that i looked so bloated and almost kind of pregnant! when i was all over fat, getting bloated wasn't that pronounced, but now that i've slimmed down so much, it becomes super noticeable. so i made sure to cook dinner the past few days, and already there is a noticeable difference in the waistline. so you know, just in case you're interested in these kinds of things. when boy and i went on that drive over the weekend, he was the photographer, and i didn't see any of the shots until yesterday while i was cooking. i just absently started flipping through the memory card, hoping there would be a few usable shots i could use as stock on my blog, and lo and behold - all of them were usable, and they were actually really good! like really really good! interesting composition. somehow he focused on the right things. and these were all one-handed captures that he managed out the window as i was driving. i was really so impressed! i can't wait to really sit down and LOOK at them as soon as i'm done typing this. he's so awesome, really. little bro, when he gets up, is going to my parents', then coming back later with his friend J. this kid (we're all adults here, but in my mind they're all still 13 so i can't stop calling them kids) is my favorite of his friends, and i wish i hung out with him. like i know i could, but i always feel awkward about becoming better friends with my friends' friends, if that makes any sense. first, because i'm so socially awkward, just reaching out to hang out with the person in the first place is a huge feat for me. then, if/when i actually hang out with the person, i have a hard time just like ... being alive. and then finally, if we do end up wanting to be closer friends, i feel awkward because i'm afraid my original friend will feel insulted or something. with my brother's friends, this is 100% not an issue, but the first two problems still apply. i'm so stupid. but again, i read so many other diaries where people are complaining about these same things, so i feel really comforted that it's not just me. in the dining room, i pulled out a chair from the table and put it in front of the back door so the cats can sit in it and look out into the woods and down to the yard below. there are all kinds of little critters running around, birds in the trees, and the neighbor has dogs who she lets out on the deck. so far, this window seat has been a huge hit. sometimes i don't know where the old cat is, so i'll just quietly walk around the house hoping i spot her. since the day i put the chair over there, i'll walk through the kitchen and notice like 2 inches of a dangling tail and a stray foot hanging over the edge. it's extra cute. and i'm glad she's enjoying herself. she had a rough life. i keep rambling on when i should be looking at these pictures! done now. |
