Updatey Thingy Stuff.
Thing #1: This last weekend I created my very own recipe and attempted my first batch of ravioli with tomato cream sauce. First let me just reiterate that there is nothing more relaxing than lighting candles, turning on big band or blues, and cooking. Except with a glass of wine, of course, but that is another matter entirely.
The ravioli and sauce turned out awesome. As a result, you may find these two recipes now on my recipe page. Yes, my own creation, but you needent fear.
Thing #2: I am traveling to Florida in a couple of weeks for a business conference. Apparently they like lil ol me enough to reward me with a nifty conference in another state. We'll even be on Disney property, and me with my very own corporate card. However, don't think for a moment that I'll have any real free time. Networking breakfasts start at 6:45 a.m., the conferences last through the entire days, and at night there are vendor networking dinners. I believe the only time I may have available is late Wednesday afternoon and evening, when everyone goes home. (I opted not to check out of the hotel at 9 a.m. and lug my bags around for the next four hours, but rather to stay the night and leave the next morning.)
I also may get to see a friend while I am there, but I haven't heard back about it yet.
Thing #3: After returning from the wedding in Montana, I had different patches of skin removed and stitches to replace them for the effort, all for cancer testing. Everything turned out just fine, as I knew it would, but it left me unable to attend martial arts for 10 days. Coupled with my trip to Bozeman and then me promptly getting the flu and being a sicko for the next 9 days....
Thing #4: Martial arts is whooping my ass back into shape. Unfortunately, it needs whooping. I am loosing approximately a pound a week since I became serious about my diet, but it's rather discouraging, and it's difficult to maintain any kind of momentum. I am constantly having to think about what I eat, when I exercise, that I can't drink, that I can't have this or that, and for someone who has a fixation with good food and good wine, it's annoying to say the very least. I don't like having my thoughts occupied with this bullshit throughout the day. I'd rather think about other things, like religion and spirituality and friends and family and history and music and and and. But if I don't think about it, then I'll fail and have to start over again, so obsess I do. Hopefully my body will eventually get over the whole food thing.
Thing #5:
I don't remember anymore, which means I need to end this post. Whee!
