~ I have decided to become a vegetarian, which will happen about the first of the month, if not before.
~ I accidentally slept until 11:15 this morning, which conflicts with school as my last class ends at 11. Oops. In my defense, I could NOT fall asleep until almost 5 a.m., though I went to bed around 10:30 or so. Ugh, frustrating. Now I'm up and feel like I have an impending caffeine headache for waiting so long to get some in me. That's what I get for starting to drink coffee again. Grr.
~ Will be visiting mom today in the hospital. This is ending up a giant rigamarole which has left me quite grumpy. Maybe I need more caffeine. Everyone is all ready to go, there's a lot of walking involved, I still need to finish my breakfast, get my contacts in, put shoes on, deal with this AFRO. Ugh. Thankful to
faetal for making it possible, though, I'm sure mom will appreciate it.
~ Mom is thinking about nixing the idea of the nursing home until she's better - because she misses her cat. I asked if she would get better if she went home, or if she would fall into the same routines. "Well, I could work really hard." .... "....." is all I really have to say to that.
~ Wow, I'm a Negative Nancy today, and for that, I apologize. A serious case of the Mondays, apparently.

i've been a vegetarian since...5th grade?..and i think it's been the best decision of my life.
it's far healthier...veg. burgers are delicious (i highly recommend morningstar) and it's really not as hard as you may think it is. i've forgotten what real meat tastes like and i do not even miss it.
but after a while the questions get annoying..like the "OMG WHY?! CHICKEN IS SO GOOD!" is a hard one to deal with after the millionth time.
but i wish you luck, and if you need any tips (or delicious tofu stir fry recipes =] ) feel free to ask!
c
Hope your week gets better.
Be careful on changing to a vegetarian some of those food products can be ew and if you don't know how to cook them OMG!
Like when I ate raw tofu my first time!
There are lots of wonderful sites with recipes for vegetarian as well. I am an Octo-Lacto Vegetarian also known as Ovo-Lacto)
Vegetarians. I eat no red meat, poultry, fish, or products that have ingredients which are animal-based such as Gelatine. They do eat organic cheese, yoghurt, milk, eggs, honey etc. They also don't wear leather or fur.
I am thinking about going vegan.
PETA also has a free booklet on how to go vegetarian. http://www.goveg.com/order.asp
If you need tips or want links just let me know.
The worst part is eating out. It's easy to find some non-meat things on menus, but do they have decent protein? Most likely not.
2.) Boo Aubrey! Actually - I didn't get to sleep 'till 730am or so, so I can't really say anthing. Given the time shift I got to sleep the same time you did.
3.) Yay Foetal!
4.) Aubrey-mom! See thee to thy health! Your cat can hang with Bacci for a time...
5.) *Hugs* for Aubs. You are teh awesome, big hair or no.
Are you giving up cheese? No meat isn't really the issue for me...lots of vegies cut out pruducts made by animals too(milk :) ) and no cheese is like saying, Liz stop breathing.
Good luck with your Mom.
It's OK Mondays can do that to you.
