So, it's Sunday -- and that means schoolwork day.
This weekend was interesting --
Friday, I sat in and did nothing -- actually, I played a new computer game I got called Morrowind. What a beautiful game.
Saturday, Cathy came down to visit, which is always a good thing. We went out and got free comics, then went to see Spiderman. Neat movie. Sadly I'm not as well-versed in the world of Marvel comics as she was, so I honestly would be hesistant to critique it. I can say I liked it though, so I will...
I liked it.
Afterward, we felt daring, so we decided to go to a Hibachi grill called Banzai. It was different. Expensive, but overall, as I put it, "an adventure" -- and that's exactly what we wanted. It was entertaining, and I found that I don't like Miso Soup. But the hibachi food itself was wonderful. Next time it's chicken and shrimp for me!!! :)
Speaking of eating, I also am hoping that I can consistently start exercising now. Im looking forward to losing the weight around my stomach. My parents recently started the Atkins diet, and it's working very well for them. I don't think I can do that, however, so I'll just stick to hopefully watching what I eat a little better. My father is also now walking around the park with my mother and our dogs. I give him credit because he seems to be focusing on other people other than himself (my mother relayed another story to me about my uncle which really surprised me).This is something I never would have expected. But my mother explained it best: My father is going to retire in 10 years, and wants to be around to enjoy it.. and he's thinking about other people in that same way.
They've already started losing weight (they're both slightly overweight), so I'm very pleased that they're taking conscious steps toward being healthy.
And hell, if they can do it, why can't I :)
Well, if I don't get these tests graded, I'm going to have 60 angry students tomorrow :). I'm glad I'm in a good mood now. Slightly reflective, but today.... today the sun is shines.
