Balsamic vinegar is yummy.
Balsamic vinegar makes any number of things better. I was thinking of suggesting adding it to the brown rice and veggie concoction that wasn't working for Zen. But I've thought better of it - Teriaki, garlic and ginger would have made that amazing - or Thai peanut sauce. Today I made a salad of thinly sliced roma tomatoes, carrots, and celery - and let it steep in balsamic vinaigrette, a leeetle bit of olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, lots of basil, and a packet of artificial sweetener. After that stewed in its own juices for a while, I served it over chopped romaine lettuce and didn't bother with additional dressing. We had that with lemon-pepper tillapia. And I made a fruit salad of grapes, apples, oranges, vanilla yogurt, and cinnamon. Good stuff.
Seriously, how can I STILL be so out of shape???
I hate to say it, but have you tried interval training? It's supposed to be the best way to whip your body into condition. But it's the opposite of fun.
As for other body issues, I came across a reference this week to the No S diet:
No snacks,
No seconds,
No sweets -- except on days that start with S.
And that's the whole premise. Even if one isn't trying to lose weight, that strikes me as a very sensible way to eat healthy.
I'm attempting to sleep for the second time tonight.
I'm meeting up with a friend for some kind of pie on pi day. Depending on how early we meet up, it may be quiche. But, still, pie.
I wish I thought to do anything pie-related for work today! Ah well.
I'm not doing anything pie-related. Or pi-related.
I don't think I have any pi(e) related clothes. It's t-shirt weather today, so I'm wearing my Clash "London Calling" t-shirt. I suppose at least one clash member has had pie at some time in his life.
Perhaps the guy on the t-shirt design is smashing his guitar because he's just been told that tonight he shall have no pie.
tommy, I know the perfect place for pie, well, actually three places all owned by the same family--Monty's Blue Plate Diner, Bluephies, and the Hubbard Avenue Diner. We just won't go during a meal time, UW men's basketball means Madison is going to be overrun with alumni and they're going to take over all the best restaurants.
Maria, rather than burnout, could it just be TOO FUCKING MUCH WORK?
It's entirely possible. I've had to toss RFPs to the side just because we don't have the time to respond to them. I could spend my entire life at work just responding to RFPs and be swamped, but I also have other duties. I'm beginning to dislike working from home, because the computer is there and I can just hop on for a "quick second" to take care of something. Two hours later, I surface.

I feel this. I'm trying REALLY HARD to stop working at a given time and not go back, no matter what. But that's kind of a challenge.
