Girlfriends

Just a few clarifications/additions to my last post:

• The six glasses I broke actually weren't wine glasses (or even ones that we use, thank god) - they were decorative stemmed shot glasses (a weird Christmas gift...) that were sitting out on a shelf that I bumped into.
• Thankfully the new furniture is very comfortable & yes, there is a recliner on each end of the couch, that was a non-negotiable for my husband. :)
• We haven't had the old couch/chairs removed from our house yet, that will occur next Saturday. Sure hope no more walls get damaged.
• Oh and Mom? I wish I could split a bottle of wine with your mother-in-law too.

Also, I didn't mean that my girlfriends were "busy" - I meant I don't have any. Well, none that are less than 300 miles away. To answer Diana's question, "BTW why did you move to the city you are in? Are you not originally from there? Is that why you don't have good gfs?" - I moved to Fort Collins for college in 2003 and have lived here ever since. Unfortunately, any friends I met in college have since moved on & out of this college town. I guess I'm just one of the few who stayed. Also, most of my friends were guys.

The girlfriend issue has been bugging me a lot lately - I had a dream recently where I had to admit that I didn't have any close friends & I woke up in tears. I'm not sure why it's just now getting to me but I have a hard time getting close to people, especially women. Yet another reason why I love this community. All you wonderful readers/bloggers out there are so sweet and supportive - even though I've never met most of you, I just want you all to know how much I appreciate you. It's nice having a support system, even if it is mostly anonymous.

It's always been hard for me to let down my walls to new people. I guess I don't trust many women because I've experienced firsthand how catty we can get. I hate drama & confrontation so I just try to stay away from it. But I think that aversion to drama has resulted in an aversion to close friends. I tend to keep most people at arm's length as much as possible. I think that's something I need to work on.

Breakfast: Yoatgurt

Mid-morning snack:

Afternoon snacks:

How does juice work into a daily serving of fruits/veggies? Would I count how many individual fruits go into it or measure it by ounces?
I finally tried some of my POM Wonderful juice. It reminded me of a sweeter version of cranberry juice. Only it has more depth. I think I need to buy some seltzer water to mix it with.Dinner was "chicken fried steak" with gravy, hot sauce and green beans. It's been a while since I've made this but I've posted the recipe for the steak here. It's extremely easy & surprisingly healthy for how good it tastes.

That's the "I didn't do it" look from miss Vern. I think she feels guilty just sitting on the new furniture. Unlike her sister who just scratches the hell out of it.

Workout: 5 miles on stationary bike

March 8:
