How do you like the new layout? I was bored of the old layout. If the color schemes hurt your eyes, let me know and I can change back.

diet update: Thursday January 15

breakfast was normal
1/4 c. lowfat cottage cheese - 45 calories
1/4 c. lowfat yogurt - 40 calories
1/6 c. cereal - 35 calories
coffee

lunch
2 lumpia (Philippino eggroll)
1 serving lasagna
1/2 chicken panini sandwich
green salad
2 pieces baby shower cake
Seriously, I can't even count how many calories that is. This is really embarrassing. I was supposed to be on a diet!

dinner
2 servings lasagna
1 turkey wrapped in a spinach tortilla
again, no clue on the calories. we took some food home from the baby shower because I planned it and there was way too much food!
I did go to ballet after work thursday though. It is a little over an hour of serious jumping and leg lifting, etc. I can still feel the tightness in my muscules. so, I at least got a pretty good workout in even though I felt super bloated!

BF and I have a chief's retirement dinner tomorrow night. He is a big drinker, so there should be some semi-serious drinking going on for the office. thank goodness monday is a holiday, otherwise not too much work would be gettin' done. :)

Although I blew my diet friday night, I went out with a good friend from work who we will call K, her boyfriend (who works in the office too) and a mutual friend who works with us (but does not work at our office). Boy this being secretive about what I do, is sure hard when I am trying to explain how I know people! anyhoo, I got to catch up on my office gossip. BF and I are usually off in our own little worlds doing, you know, WORK. but apparently other people at work find time to gossip. I had not heard any of the stuff they were chatting about. Apparently one girl, who we will call J, who was hired at the same time my friend and I were hired (she is in our "class") has hooked up with 3 guys in our office. I know it sounds like the pot calling the kettle black, what with me being married to BF in the same office, but we met in law school and have been together for 3.5 years. so, kinda different. This girl had never met any of these "boys" before she started in the office. And we have only been in the office for 15 months or so! scandalocious!

what do you think of work romances? professional? unprofessional? does it matter to you if the couple met before they started working in the same office? Hmmm....
