Banana bread, yo.

That's right, I am baking banana bread. Well, banana breadish muffins if you want to get technical. I don't have a bread pan. :( It will still taste delicious, I'm sure. (it has to because I added mini chocolate chips)

Dan bought me flowers today. :) He also helped me pick out a new deodorant. Since I like the smell of his so much, it's only fair. Adidas "fitness fresh". I recommend it.

Kendra is coming on Wednesday and staying until Monday!!! I haven't seen her since...I think since New Year's Eve. Man, that's so long. She is going to cook all of us an authentic Mexican meal on Thursday night. I am very excited.

Also, I've been thinking about my New Year's Resolution for 2006. 2004 (no buying any clothes) and 2005 (no watching tv) were very successful, but only because they were things I really cared about. I felt convicted to change my habits regarding those things. I had been thinking that 2006 would be a year of no meat-eating. However, I've realized that I'm not really all that convicted and probably wouldn't last long because I don't have any really good reasons that would last me a year. So, I've been thinking of other alternative food/nutrition related resolutions. Here's what I've come up with so far:

-no caffeine [but, as my mom kindly pointed out, this would mean no chocolate!]
-a more organic diet [i.e. no bleached flour, less processed stuff, etc.]
-no soda pop
-? ? ? ? ? ?

It may take me a while to decide on this one. I may have to do a bit of research...

but it's all so tasty! well. except pop. i could totally live without pop. the only problem with food-based resolutions is that they make you less fun cause you're all like 'oh, i can't eat that' and shit. also, i had a coworker who gave up chips and chocolate 'because she could' and we all thought she was retarted.

you should totally be more creative than that.

and, uh. no tv? i guess there's some technicalities there like 'no commercials'...

Yah, I haven't been as strict about my no tv policy lately. I do feel like I have acoomplished the purpose of it, though, which is simply being able to live without tv. It is no longer my best friend.

weird food restrictions make it a pain in the behind to cook meals for people. I am always somewhat frustrated when I invite someone over, make a nice dinner and they're like "i don't eat that" i'll go "are you allergic" and the answer is almost always "no, i just think it's wrong/gross/insane/stupid/inanereasonhere"

you should resolve to:

bring dan and come hang out with andrew
return farenheit 451, so you can read the next dystopian novel in my library
start some crazyness
visit a real foreign country (Soviet Canuckistan does not count)
use "in accordance with the prophecy" in everyday speech.


come up with something really wacky, and make it stick.

(not sure if i've ever heard that phrase coming from you)

p.s. Rachael, you should decide to give up some food that you don't like at all, and then tell people that you do like it, but are deciding to give it up, and how it'll be a huge sacrifice.

on that note, i'm not only "this person" but I'm giving up beets and olives, as a supreme sacrifice. I will no longer enjoy their wretchedly loathesome flavors.

I am flabbergasted that you would agree with someone. Though "in accordance with the prophecy" is a fun phrase.

Ummm, if you asked me right now, I would not be able to tell you where that book is... I'm sure it's floating around my mom's house somewhere.

And I have been to a real foreign country. For starters, I've been to Mexico (p.s. you were there), and I've been to several European countries. Not to mention Owosso, Michigan, which felt like a foreign country at times.

on a totally unrelated note, in the coming year I'm giving up mushrooms and patience for the stupidity of others.
