So some things are going well, and other things aren't going so well. Today I have a roommate and a girlfriend. The girlfriend you know. We're recommitted to each other, to being someone with whom the other can fall in love, each day, and each day looking to fall in love with the other. Blah blah blah, you think I'm just a drama queen anyway, so I'm not going to go into further details. The roommate is a guy named Tim, in his 30s, graduate degree from a NY college in advertising, worked for a good while doing internet stuff, now he's moving to Sarasota doing urban development. He's a really cool guy, and I look forward to becoming his friend.

Also, my paperwork is all sorted and filed, except my taxes, which are technically set aside, because I remember from last year that while you can do them online, you still have to print out something to sign with a pen and mail in. I did not buy a printer today, so that will have to wait until probably monday. Also, I'm recommitting to vegetarianism, because it's failing. I don't mean that vegetarianism is failing, but that Mine was, because I wasn't eating vegetarian...I was eating what I normally eat, minus the meat. Yah, so I need more protein. I'm going to get vitamins and a protein powder when I go grocery shopping, and I'm going to get Lara's recommendations on reading material on the subject. My cookbooks may even say enough, so I'm going to check into that. I've spent the majority of today doing paperwork either on the computer or around the house, so that almost everything is done, except a couple of things I have to take by hand to the post office. Speaking of the post office, my sword came in the mail today. I won't go on too much about it, because I'm a big nerd and could talk about it for a whole two paragraphs, but needless to say I was running around showing it to people, like the people at the bank, and coworkers, and the guy at the bike shop...yah, I'm a nerd. And I got a hold of a friend on the phone today who wants to go to the Sarasota Fair with us, and might bring another friend, so that will be exciting! We haven't seen her in a while because she was too sick to dance, and our paths didn't cross (even hers and Lara's). Fun people! I also had dinner with Megan and her new puppy, an 8 week old brown mottled puppy, so cute! It's a pit bull apparently, but it looked much like a small lab to me, except that labs never have the brown-and-black mottling. Ok, I'm going to shower now. Laters!

Glad to hear all is well with you in Florida.

I'm having food problems of my own. It's not that I want to be a vegetarian; it's that, even with my stipend and a second job, it's difficult to pay rent, pay off loans, AND afford meat. And I'm also (slowly) getting used to keeping kosher when Jon is around. Not that I'm going to convert or anything, but I certainly don't want to cook two separate meals. Surprisingly, it hasn't been that difficult. Sometimes I just forget what constitutes dairy. I mean, I know cheese is dairy, but it's hard to think of it as something that has to be kept separate from meat.

Wow, I'm rambling. I tend to do that. Oops.
