Dumbfounded
As of this morning, I've lost 20 pounds. In 3 weeks. This mystifies me. Not that I'm complaining. My formerly too-tight-to-wear jeans are now comfortably loose. My formerly loose jeans are threatening to fall down at inopportune moments. I can see my collarbones, and there are muscles beginning to show in my arms. I like this.
And now, a Friday Five:
1. What drinking water do you prefer -- tap, bottle, purifier, etc.?
I honestly don't care. I use a Brita pitcher at home, because it takes the chlorine smell out of my tap water, and makes it nice and cold. We have a Poland Springs cooler at work, and I drink most of my water there -- I keep a liter-size bottle at work, and refill it during the day (on my way to the bathroom, usually. Drinking lots of water is good, but I feel like I live in the bathroom lately. Ahem.)
2. What are your favorite flavor of chips?
Ooooh, chips. I miss chips. I like plain ones -- the Cape Cod brand are the best, but I also have a weakness for Pringles. No chips for me, alas.
3. Of all the things you can cook, what dish do you like the most?
That depends on my mood. I make a good omelette, and right now, I'm liking the curry stir-fry I made the other night. I play with cooking too much to have a favorite.
4. How do you have your eggs?
Scrambled, if they aren't in an omelette. I like scrambled eggs with some garlic, salt, pepper, and cheese. Mmmmm. Fried eggs gross me out for some reason.
5. Who was the last person who cooked you a meal? How did it turn out?
Um... probably my mom, in January. Knowing my mom, it turned out good. She's a good cook. No one has cooked for me lately but me. Woe.
I'm awfully sleepy now -- I think I haven't been sleeping well, since I wake up very tired every morning. I don't remember any bad dreams, or waking up during the night, but I know I'm not rested. So, off to bed I go.
