I forgot to mention, I think, that I had an interesting sandwich in the
mall the day I took off. It was a cracker bread sandwich--did I
tell you this or was this in the note I lost. I've been trying
really hard to follow a low cholesterol diet and so when I went to the
mall I walked all around the food court trying to decide what was best
to eat. There was a Freshirrire Place or something like that and
they had some really nice looking fruit salad.
Also they had cracker sandwiches. I tried one with the salad, as a
combo, and it was pretty good. Its basically a very large pizza
size thin flour taco like bread. It was spread very thinly with a
garlic sort of cream cheese, then topped with thin sliced turkey and a
lot of shredded lettuce and tomato. It is rolled up and a serving
is sliced off depending on whether you want a small, med. or large.
Its about as thick as a hot dog bun with wiener when its all rolled up.
I enjoyed it and thought I might experiment at home. Weight loss
is going okay. I'm not really counting calories, just eating
minimal and carefully. I went out for my usual bagel this
morning--forgot to tell him to put the low fat cream cheese on the
side--so I ended up scraping huge amounts of it off--even low fat--its
loaded with cholesterol--I put it in a small cup and took it home for
another day. Friday I left work early and went to see Sixth Sense.
People really kept the ending secret--I kept hearing it had a secret
ending, even from you--so I was quite surprised. I thought Bruce
Willis and the mother and the boy both were really good at their parts.
I sort of wanted to watch the movie again--to see if I had missed
clues--For example--I did kind of wonder why he never met the boy in an
office--or he didn't seem to. But afterwards I wondered if Bruce
Willis always had on the same shirt through the whole movie--which might
have been a clue. I am so glad I went--finally. Well, I'm at
school. Just a note. Need to study. Elizabeth (I've
been sort of "going crazy" today--drove around a lot--walked through a
park--that turned out nice because I never noticed there were pecan
trees there and I scooped up quite a few--on Sundays in Montgomery it is
ALL church and family. Its my loneliest day in town--Sundays.
Plus, I've been tossing and turning over my "plans" to try and get
accepted at UA. I don't know what it is with me--but I just can't
stand routine--the driving in to work everyday, the almost sameness of
it everyday. BUT, my job is so cushy.
It is very good. The most incredible benefits ever. I HATE
thinking about throwing that away. I skimmed through a book on
Women and Work. One paragraph was interesting--It said, "Is there
anything bad about benefits."
The answer was yes--They can make you feel so well taken care of that
you feel you can't leave a job--because they are taking care of you so
well. For example--I just had my physical--220.00--Baptist paid
all but 20.
