Mmmm... yes.
So I started the Atkins diet today, because apparently PCOS doesn't like me to have carbs. They make me fatter. Wish I had known that when I was ... like... ten. Ah well. And I know it's probably not supposed to start working right away, but I feel better somehow. Just like... I feel more alert, I guess... or something. And lighter. Even though I've not yet lost any weight. I also feel sick to my stomach, but I think that's part of just adjusting my stomach to the new types of foods. Best part of this diet so far: Guilt free liverworst, feta, olives, and mozzerella. *drools* I'm not even THINKING of the crap that I don't get to eat. Except for ice cream.
Mother's Day- I've decided what I'm going to do is make a folder that has all her recipes transcribed onto the computer and then stick it on cd for her. All her recipes that she got from her early life, I mean- like spanakopita and koulrakia and cheesecake and stuff. If anyone wants a copy of my mother's blue cookbook, let me know and I'll send it to you.
Finished reading "Memoirs of a Geisha." And I loved it. I think if I get a chance, I'll buy the paperback. The story was just elegant and sad and sweet and hopeful all at the same time. The writing was excellent... and drew me in right away. It makes me want to draw geishas!
Amazingly I just saw that a commission I put up a week ago went for 26 dollars. Woo! O_O I'm kind of surprised. Even though I did get paid around thirty for the last one, too. I'm heading out tomorrow and Friday to teach my great aunt Cay how to use her computer for about $15 an hour for two hours each day. So that's not a bad haul for this week. 86 or so? Something like that. Whee!
*sighs a little* I think I'm in love again/still. *does the blushy girly thing* Sometimes my heart just gets so full, I think it'll spill over into everything I do. And sometimes I can feel it in my eyes.
