9 February 2003 Going by my calendar, it looks as if I have walked 46.5 miles since January 5, the day I started walking regularly. I am very proud for me, since sticking to any sort of plan for over a month is a rare occurrence. (Coming up with a total makes me sound like I'm affiliated with five hundred, but I'm not, even though I have been invited to join. I'm sort of chicken: committing to such a definite goal has usually been the kiss of death for previous self-improvement plans. I may try to get over it and join, though.) Now if I could just get all my other work done, as well. Menu for tomorrow's event: red pepper and garlic hummus; spinach, artichoke, Parmesan and asiago cheese dip; herb-roasted olives; fresh mozzarella cheese balls; sesame pita bread wedges; sourdough bread toasts; raw vegetables and pretzels. I had $25 to spend, and all of the above came to a grand total of $25.03. I think I can donate the three cents, and I am very pleased at the menu I came up with on such a small budget. Other student events I've been to in the past have always featured burnt cookies, watered-down punch, and slimy lunch meat on toothpicks. I don't think there's going to be anyone there who will be upset that I went for a vegetarian menu: the only meat we could afford on our budget was icky and chock full of sodium nitrates. I eat plenty of meat, but I'd rather save up for good meat rather than just getting the cheapest thing I can find. I'll let you know what the reaction to my menu is, though. [1] I also feel great because all the brisk exercise made me forget about the increasing pain in my "tooth", something which I hope to remedy with an expensive visit to the dentist sometime this week. |
