So I ended up eating tonight at the dinner lecture. Here's the deal: I had class from 3-4pm, and the dinner lecture started at 5:30pm. So it would have been stupid to come home for 45 minutes doing nothing and then come back to school, when I could stay at school and study for an hour and a half. So I did that. Therefore, I couldn't lie and say I ate something at home. And they didn't have Thai food, they had pizza. Luckily, it was the square kind, so it was cut into pretty small pieces, so I took a small piece and had that with water. I also had two Hershey kisses and a mini Krackel. Ughh I wouldn't have felt so bad if it hadn't been for those few pieces of chocolate. But when I weighed in this evening, I was only 0.5 lbs. over what I was this morning, so the pizza didn't have very much of an effect. Not the huge crisis I was expecting this evening to be.
I have decided, after looking at a list of the top 100 novels of all time, that it is depressing that I have only read 14 out of that 100, so I am on a journey to read the other 86. I am starting with Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. I am really excited about my venture! I love reading, by the way. I think you would have to, to do what I am undertaking. The next will be Moby Dick, but past that, I don't know. I have no idea how long this will take me, probably a long time, but I am hoping to come out different in some way. Different, how, I don't know, but I feel like somehow I will change for the better. I'll let you know. Here is the list I am following, in case anyone is interested: The Novel 100
Love you, Skinnies!

ooh that is a pretty kick ass list of books.
ReplyDeletei hope my dinky little small town library has a few(if any) of those in stock lol.
ive only read a few so im thinking it will at least take me a year or two to get through all of them.and thats if i can actually find some copies!
dont sweat the little bits of chocolate, you did great on the pizza dilemma. i always try to get the smallest one and pull all of the toppings off and peel off the crust if its cut into wedges.
stay strong

thanks for the advice! =]
ReplyDeletedon't worry about the chocolates.. i mean, yeah, it's chocolate, but at least you didn't do terrible with them... i have no strength around chocolate whatsoever. stay strong! you can do it. =]
I found a book list of the top 1000 books to read in your lifetime. Sounded like a challenge to me... So now I have to/get to read them. I'm excited, truly, to have so many titles recommended to me that I KNOW are great, but 1000? Yikes. I mean, I HAVE to read them all, now. Even though, of course I want to. But I can't die or give up the challenge or anything until they're all read... Am I making sense? This is a hard concept to convey through words on my end. I'm not so good with words, and worse with conveying difficult concepts for me to unwind out of my brain and lay on paper or the screen or whatever...
ReplyDeleteSorry, if that made no sense whatsoever! But my point is, I know what you mean.
