Deep thoughts by JP.....

1.) Dinner last night with my friend of a friend (now considered just a friend) Rita last night was phenomenal. The company and conversation was great. It's amazing how you take that stuff for granted when you have it all the time. It was such a morale boost. We had so many things in common and she was so funny. She's my new girl crush. For sure. Too bad she lives in Denver and is only here on business.  But it will at least hold me over now at least until my friends Kate & Adam come to visit next month.

2). I'm very proud of Jeremy and I and all the food that we "wasted" last night. In the past, we would have consumed every morsel of food served to us, whether we liked it or not. I felt a little bad so much of the dessert was unconsumed, but we ate until we were satisfied and stopped. That is HUGE! That may have not been the case if it was "absolutely, mind-blowingly, delicious", but it was the case last night, and I think we did good. We did a 3 for $30 deal and were served an absorbent amount of food. We ate what we liked and ate until we were full. I didn't leave the restaurant hating myself or having to unbutton my jeans! Score.

3.) I'm SUPER excited that I've been invited to join the 2011 Yelp Seattle Elite Squad! They emailed ME! I didn't even ask, or know anything about it. Read more about it here: http://www.yelp.com/elite. Being in a new city I "yelp" everything, and decided to give back and it paid off!!! If you aren't familiar with yelp... check it out... and if you are... be my friend!!!! 


4.) I got my hair done on Saturday (NOT impressed). I called Nadean, I was so upset. I'm just not getting across what I want. It looks good, but it's very subtle.... I like BOLD and DRASTIC and FUN... I feel like I have a soccer mom hair cut. BOO!!! Nadean also suggested that I bring a picture. 3 hair people, still not happy. Today is Wednesday and still nobody's noticed. :( They are way too subtle and I can barely tell. They really shine in the sunlight... but the amount of time my hair gets sunlight between work and um, the rain, is somewhere between slim and none. I was disappointed, still felt frumpy and felt I was out $100. That being said, for the first time in my ENTIRE life, I called the stylist and asked if I can come back. I felt like an as*....and apologized 100 times. I don't mind throwing in some cash for additional color (and tip!), but I need more.... bigger chunks, bolder color, maybe adding an additional color or two. I don't know the answer, but I called and she was very sweet and we set up a time for me come back in on Saturday, with pictures.

5.) I finally got around and made bread. It came out soooo good. It was golden brown and crusty on the outside, and it was yummy inside... it's not the best sandwich bread, but Jerm did make me a sandwich Monday on it. I'm not sure how many WW points it is... but it's made with flour, salt, yeast and water....that's it.... no additives... no kneading... it took over 24 hours... but with very little work... Here it is. You guys, I'm super excited about this bread. It's so amazing and simple. I have 2 things of dough working at home.... one regular and one cinnamon raisin.
