1. if any of you out there know what an EIN (or FEIN) is, please never never never have more than one business per EIN. it will save you much ill will from your accountant. i don't care what the tax advantages are.
2. food: cwc&s, leftover mac & cheese, an apple, a handful of raisins and a handful of cashews before dinner, roasted salmon with shallots and canned tomatoes over spinach, roasted fingerling potatoes with boursin cheese (omg i love that stuff), a glass of red wine, and one measely, delicious milk dud. after last night's twix encounter, i have emerged victorious tonight. exercise: pilates and 35 minutes of cardio.
3. white jeans and a dan marino jersey. i love 30 rock.
4. i'm sad j. d. salinger died. i have never read the catcher in the rye. i have read franny & zooey, raise high the roof beam, carpenters, and seymour: an introduction. i loved every word of them.
5. my google reader was completely flummoxed today. not one blog update appeared. at all. so tonight, i went around re-following folks. just now all has returned to normal. i still have not managed to un-follow myself.
off to make the bed and get in it.

day 2
the law student just came home with not one, but two twix ice cream bars. how mean is that?????
as promised....
diet: leftover crazy mexican chicken, only one serving of box mac & cheese, no twix ice cream bar (yet), zapp's cajun crawtators chips (love those things), turkey and cheese sandwich with mayo, one half a can of ginger ale and a pack of peanut butter crackers.
exercise: 1.1 hours cardio, ab work and some weights. not much though.
if the bulldogs don't win tonight, that twix bar may have to console me. if they do win, it might celebrate with me! i'm getting hungry just thinking about it. i am very upset with the law student right now.

me and my big mouth
my mouth keeps getting me into trouble. the scale has never consistently stayed above 115 for weeks (okay, months. shut up.) on end. i absolutely hate it. i have never really had to deal with weight issues--it's always been relatively easy for me to use mostly minimal or moderate effort to stay in shape. i've NEVER had to restrict my diet. or if i have, i don't remember and it must have been way easier, probably because i was too busy partying or working out to notice. i know my exercise quota is lower now, and my eating is up (part of being married is a hungry husband!), but man! i do pilates, walk the dog, have started to incorporate cardio--i'm hitting a wall here! and since all this extra is settling right onto my belly, it all comes back to my mouth. so, diet restrictions it is. and to keep me accountable, i'm going to blog what i eat. every day. i know you are about to pass out from all the excitement. here goes.
monday: coffee with cream and sugar (from now on, cwc&s), one slice roast pork with carrots and potatoes, spaghetti with meat sauce, 1 chik-fil-a chicken nugget dipped in polynesian sauce, and most of a chik-fil-a cookies and cream shake. it was not as good as regular cookies and cream ice cream. exercise: walked the rox 1.5 miles on the track.
tuesday: cwc&s, greek yogurt with strawberries, 1 pack peanut butter crackers, 1 slice american cheese and some raisins while waiting on dinner, spinach salad with carrots, tomatoes, croutons and ranch; rice; sauteed zucchini and some crazy mexican chicken dish i made: 1/2 chicken breast and a sauce made up of cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, roasted tomatoes and black beans. i tried to make fisherman's bake cod, but the fish was slimy after its defrost and stunk up the whole house, so we threw it out. i made this chicken dish up on the fly, and it turned out ok. i must remember it and improve upon it. exercise: walked roxy mostly 1.5 miles at the track, taught pilates for 1 hour, then 30 minutes on an elliptical.
not only does my mouth getting me in trouble by taking in too much, it also gets me in trouble by speaking too much. i am haunted by this passage in matthew 12.

A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. 36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
jesus is talking to the pharisees here, but i think it applies. i've heard the phrase, "you will be held accountable for everything you say, not necessarily in a court of law." and i believe it to be true. our words are a direct reflection of the condition and contents of our hearts. jesus speaks harshly of a sharp tongue, and also clearly spells out there is no room for neutrality or fence-flopping in Him. words have power. it's truly terrifying to me to think that every word i have uttered, every curse, every shred of gossip and untruth and meanness, with or without thinking, will be used to judge me in the end. and it should be enough to scare the impulse out of me. i have struggled with this recently and am now recommitting to speak truth and kindness, even when i deem it undeserved, because i am undeserving.Monday, February 1, 2010
celebrity look-alike vote and other misc. things
so, apparently it's celebrity look-alike week on facebook. again. who is in charge of this stuff, anyway? so, here are my celebrity look-alikes, and i cannot make a decision.
ginnifer goodwin, of big love fame
and mila kunis, best known as jackie on that 70s show.
who do you think i look like most? please vote in the comments.
in other news, i stayed in my pajamas all day yesterday, ate leftover pizza, didn't exercise (or even really get off the couch all that much), ignored the unfolded laundry and didn't brush my teeth until about 9 pm. i did start a painting though--i've been thinking about this painting since september. just now getting to it. and so far, i like it. a lot. it's a painting of grammi's house, for the law student's mom. hopefully i can take it slow and get it done this week. which, hopefully, signifies a return to painting more. i firmly believe it is one of my God-given talents and that i ignore it all too often.
this saturday the law student and i braved the cold and ice to go see jersey boys at the orpheum with mom and becca. so much fun! i loved all the songs and the cursing.
the law student just turned in his bar application on friday, after an extensive self-background check and a huuuuge money order. now he's churning out letters to former employers. i really don't know what all is involved. all i know is that it makes him completely stressed out and unable to sleep until 4 a.m. poor thing. i can't wait until this is all over, which is beginning to look like may 8--graduation day.
i think now i'll look up celebrity look-alikes for my friends. or finish payrolls. whichever.

not procrastinating
i feel fat. wednesday wussy for you. as this is not soon to change, i'll leave it at that. moving on...
the law student is stressing something major. bar applications apparently suck. poor thing. keep praying for a job opening!
tax season officially ends april 16 for me. law school graduation is may 8. i'm thinking week-long vacation for me and the law student, especially before he begins studying for the bar. so i'm asking you for suggestions! here are a few of my thoughts:
west coast winery
mountains (though i imagine we'd get bored quickly just sitting in a cabin, so i'd need activities)
LA to visit friends
beach (the law student has never been to the gulf coast. can you believe that?)
asheville, north carolina--visit family, see cool things (this actually needs to be done anyway)
boston, chicago (again) or some other cool city with fun things to do other than shop, cause the law student HATES that. and this is last on my list for a reason, please note. all the others are my top ideas.
so, keep me informed! i'd love your input. what's going on in our country in may that we should see?

texts from last night
anyone ever been here? one weekend in little rock, kayla, amanda, kristi and i spent THREE HOURS reading them out loud and drinking champagne.
today's favorite:
Dude you spent the last hour of the night in the bathroom crying, asking someone why you will never be as smart as Mr.Feeney from boy meets world.
coming in at #2:
he keeps calling me but I'm too scared to answer... Not sure what he's gonna yell at me for: barging into his room while he was with another girl, filling her shoes with dog food and water, or hiding his keys in the garbage disposal.....
the other ones i can't post here. ha!
