I was asked out today …

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Yeah, really. Been chatting with this guy online for a few days, mostly nonsensical flirtation with a bit of car talk thrown in. Today he asked me to meet him for coffee.

. My treat of course which is the way it should be.

THAT part I liked! Of all the guys I’ve met for coffee, no one has ever bought one for me. Granted, I always show up early, grab the table I want, and order my own, and in a few cases the guy offered to buy me a refill, but in many cases they didn’t offer at all.

I don’t really know much about him but it’s ok, I’d still like to meet him. He seems really cool and I kinda like not knowing that much other than name and age — don’t even know height or weight (though from his pic he looks like a big boy, which I like). He’s not a hair lover as far as I know but I’m also only meeting him as a friend with no romantic involvement, so it won’t matter. He likes old cars and that’s good enough for me.

American Idol is on soon and there are 3 left, so tonight they eliminate 1 and next week is the finale. This year was so blah for me, no one really stood out as a star. If I had to vote for one of the remaining 3 — David Cook, Syesha Mercado or David Archuletta, I’d vote for David Cook as he can mix things up differently, but his voice isn’t awesome. Archuletta’s voice is just so-so and Syesha leaves me cold for some reason.

My prediction is Syesha will be voted off tonight, it will be David vs. David with Cook winning next week.

Went to work on Hairy Videos today and the site was dead. I didn’t totally panic, did some research then asked for help and a backup was restored and all is fine. We aren’t sure why it crashed but don’t forget I’m having a huge half-price clearance sale. I’d like to get rid of 100 titles of DVDs and then put up new software with the remaining few titles I plan to keep.

On another forum a woman and I were chatting after I made a post about PCOS. She has it and asked me about laser, so I told her of my experiences and encouraged her to go for it. She went yesterday and I felt so good when she said it didn’t hurt too much and she was glad she had it done. She should need 7/8 treatments and that’s it. I haven’t gone in what, 5 months now? I think I have an appointment next week.

Low carb fare …….

Monday, November 22nd, 2004

For women, like myself, with PCOS, a low carb diet is the way to maintain your health, your hormone levels, etc. I’ve been eating this way for years, Atkins be damned!

I was Jonesing for Chinese food tonight big time, but there isn’t anyone locally who delivers anything decent, and I didn’t feel like driving to another city since the best food is in the worst neighborhoods. So, I decided to make meatballs. Now, I’ve only made them twice in my life, the first time was 2 weeks ago! My nail technician had talked about them, and I got an urge!

So, I bought some ground white turkey breast, some 93% lean natural beef, and a little bit of loose sausage meat. Mixed together, added some Panko (Japanese bread crumbs) and baked them. I then take a can of organic chopped tomatoes, some chopped up turkey breakfast sausage (all natural), nuke it and add the cooked meatballs. Sprinkle on some Romano cheese and oooh baby!! Since I usually eat chicken 5 nights a week (organic, of course), it’s a welcome change.

This is low carb fare, is tasty as hell. You can add chopped garlic, spices, whatever to make it taste better. I froze some meatballs and can pop them in the toaster oven (I don’t use a real stove) for 20 minutes to bake them and viola!

Tomorrow, though, I’m doing Chinese food for dinner, and will get enough so I’ll have leftovers for Turkey Day!!
