The Diet is On...
Breakfast is too much food. I'm allowed 2 pieces of wheat toast, scrambled eggs and an orange. Even after the 6yo ran off with half my orange and ate half my eggs it's still too much food. I'm going to save the toast for a late morning snack
ETA: Lunch is too much food, too. It's a "taco" salad, but I left out the meatless burger cos 1. gross 2. it really doesn't need it. Black beans, corn and red peppers on greens with pepper jack and salsa. I did add a little sour cream though. I'm also allowed yogurt with walnuts and raspberries, but I'm too full. I still haven't eaten the toast from this morning. Never fear, they'll probably get eaten this afternoon. 3-4 o'clock is my danger zone.
I watched Kate and Leopold last night. It was very fluffy, which in and of itself is fine, I love fluffy. The biggest problem I had was that I couldn't stand Meg Ryan's character. Although I could see Jackman's character functioning happily in modern times, the minute she went back in time I lost the plot. Meg Ryan's character was so abrasive, so gauche and crass and self-centered that I not only could not see why Leopold fell in love with her, I could not see them being anything but miserable together once the first blush of infatuation was off the rose. Not only that but her character was so thoroughly modern that I could not see her having any appreciation for the time she found herself in. In fact I couldn't see her being anything but miserable. She's not a listener, that character and it was underscored throughout the movie, so she would bumble around in the 19th century making gaffe after gaffe and unable to learn what she needed to get along. And back then people were masters at making those who did not fit in suffer. It just wasn't believable.
