This is why

I don't bring my phone into work. I have like 100 self portraits and no work done!

Damn you, iPhone! Why must you be so entertaining??

Just close your eyes

 My impromptu reading party and lunch.

This picture doesn't do it justice. It's beautiful.

Last time I went to the doctors I got some blood tests done and my doctor told me that I was deficient in Vitamin D. 

So today, instead of my usual running of errands and running back to my apartment, I stopped at this fountain that is near where I shop, just outside of Wilmington, Delaware. 

I ate my apple and yogurt and read a few chapters of Hunger Games. And soaked up some Vitamin D.

Tonight; for the very first time in 32 years, I ate salmon. 

Salmon and a spinach and cheese salad. 

I was surprised by how good it was. I'm kind of excited to try new salmon recipes. 

I'm sorry this blog has been all about what I'm eating. Blogging has been helping me get through this first month of vegetarianism. Once February hits I'll be back to my stories about work and crafting!!

Tonight I decided to explore the whole 'eating vegetables' part of vegetarianism. I made this premixed stir fry. 

I can proudly say that I ate about a third of the plate before my gag reflex would not let me have another bite. I'm going to have to figure out another format for vegetables because stir fry is not it. On a less depressing note, I did get about 8 serving of vegetables because I kept refilling my glass of V8 to wash the vegetables down:)

All hail Vegetarianism Day # 25!

All about the Benjamins, baby!

I have been feeling really inspired lately. 

Maybe it's the meds. Who knows?

Anyway, my newest idea...

Spend only 100 dollars in the month of February!

That includes gas, food, etc. Anything that is not a bill. 

Of course this means I will have to dial down my Ground Hogs Day and Leap Day party plans.

I'll keep you posted!

Thanks to my brother in law Jack for his amazing black bean burrito recipe. I didn't get to process the beans (because I was hungry), but I followed the rest of your steps and it was AMAZING. I think this vegetarian thing is going to work out ok.

I need somewhere to begin

This is the view outside my window this morning. It makes me want to write a Gothic novel. All we need to complete the day is for the night to be dark and stormy!!

p.s.- It's ok to be jealous of my superior photographer skills. Believe it or not, I took this picture laying on my living room in my pajamas:)
