Sometimes Plans Change

So far my weekend was not exactly what I was expecting, but then again it is important to be flexible and not become to fixated on things that outside of our control. The first major change in my plans for the weekend was not having dinner with Jason, Jonathan and Jeffery on Friday night. Jason was at the doctor on Friday and due to his appointment taking longer than anticipated, he needed to make up the time for work and thus was unable to do dinner. However, I heard from Jonathan and Jeffery, who still went to the restaurant, that service there was just awful and it sounded as though the food was also nothing to really write home about. Anyway, instead of going out to dinner on Friday night I had pizza delivered and of course deep fried mushrooms (don't judge me) and watched Tabatha and The Biggest Loser. By the way, I noticed that every time I was The Biggest Loser I seem to be grazing on a table full of food. Coincidence?!?

On Saturday I had breakfast (more like brunch really) with Jason, Jonathan and Jeffery. I had oatmeal and it was so yummy. I was pretty proud of myself too for not getting something too unhealthy. I did get a side of bacon, but only had 1.5 slices!! For much of the rest of Saturday, it was a pretty emotional day for various reasons. Many tears were shed, but it was very cathartic and nothing that I would want to change. I am very happy that I am so in touch with my emotions and feel comfortable expressing them. And for all those you have said over the years that I am too sensitive or too emotional...I just have one thing to say...suck it :)

On Saturday night I went with Jason to see the play RENT at the Overture Center in Madison. I saw the play in 1998 (ish) in Chicago with Courtney and Cameron. I think I might have even enjoyed the play more this time than last time; and last time I really loved it. I was still tearful throughout much of it; but for anyone who knows what the play is about, having tears during the show is not uncommon. Oh, and if you don't know what the play is about, in one word the message of the play is LOVE! The singing was beautiful and it made me sad to know that my soundtrack for this play is still in Germany. I would loved to have listened to it before seeing the show again, but that was not able to happen.

And so far today, well, let's just say I slept in...way in! Getting out of bed in the morning was not on my list of things to do today and I am happy to report that I accomplished that task. I thought about my life, my living situation and what my next steps should be. Speaking of that, I am no longer moving into the apartment I have already paid a security deposit on; as well, as renter's insurance for that matter. They are sending me my money back, as they have no idea when I will be able to get in there due to all the construction being way behind. So, I am going to try and return my new couch instead of dealing with trying to store it some place. I am a little sad about this as I love that couch. Most likely, for the time being, I will stay with Chris and Alison until I decide where I should put my roots down. This area of my life has been in flux for about two years now and I really need it to change and fast.

Okay, back to today. So, once I finally got out of bed I lounged around, cleaned a bit and then went to a late lunch with Jason during his lunch break. For the rest of the day I plan to go running and then watch the Grammy's. Yeah...another award show :) Oh, I did go to the store to buy food to make a nice dinner tonight. I am making boneless, skinless chicken breasts, brussel sprouts, roasted potatoes, and biscuits. For dessert I am making a fruit smoothie. After stepping on the scale today, I seriously need to make some changes in my eating and exercise routines!!!!
