While I enjoy a cooking show from time to time, there's nothing quite as boring as watching some celebrity chef assemble a salad. There isn't really any technique involved, although to be fair I do get jealous at how nice the knives they use are. You cut up some of this, some of that, throw it in a pile, toss it around... SALAD! I guess that's sort of the point, but then I have to contend that some meals just aren't cut out for TV.
Speaking of which, I tried to atone for the sin against myself that I committed at lunch today by eating that pizza by having nothing but carrots, an apple, and two slices of whole wheat toast for dinner. I feel like I need some more calories, but the room's all taken up by stuff I won't be digesting. On the plus side, I do feel like it helped clear the grease out a bit. While that's probably entirely in my head, it is comforting, so I'll go with it.
I sat down with my pastor today and had a really nice talk about my ex-relationship. I'm not a terribly religious person, but I couldn't think of anyone who would be more qualified to talk me through things from the relationship perspective; it is, after all, a part of his job to marry people. Actually, in retrospect and given the way the divorce rate is headed these days that was probably an invalid assumption that just happened to be true. I feel so much better about things, and by better, I mean relieved. I was in a really bad situation for me, and I'm no longer there. Of course, I still have to get past the feelings I've built up over 3 years, but at least I'm genuinely excited to be moving on to the next phase of my life.
I need to start thinking about interior decorating. My house is great but it's kind of naked right now. Hopefully going to bed early tonight will result in being much more refreshed tomorrow and I'll actually feel up to thinking about what could go on my walls.
