Fortune Cookie

I love fortune cookies. Not eating them really, since they taste like baked sugar, but I love the fortunes. The light anticipation, the act of sharing them with everyone in a circle, the musing of how the red text on white paper reflects your real life.

I hate when you get the fortunes that say things like "You have a good sense of humor" and "Friends are always helpful in life." Excuse me, fortune writers, but fortunes are supposed to, you know, fortell something.

No, I didn't have Chinese takeout today, but one of my mom's friend was doing astrological readings so the topic is on my mind. The funny thing is that, even when I feel stressed out or depressed, my fortunes are always, well, fortunate. In any type of fortune-telling system. It's kind of odd, not that I'm complaining or anything.

Anyway, I guess I should write something about weight loss. ;)

Today was an OK food day.

Lunch:
1 bowl minestrone soup
1 serving turkey w/gravy + .5 cup stuffing
1/2 piece of generic white cake + frosting

Dinner:
1 eggplant parmesan except without the cheese. So, breaded and + tomato sauce.
.5 cup of rice + stir fry(?) veggies
3 small butter cookies (about the size of a dollar coin)
1 Lipton raspberry iced tea
1 unidentified pastry. It was sort of a tart shell + three dollops of cream (vanilla, chocolate, pumpkin)

So I could have done without the desserts, but I'm in a holiday mood. Which is actually not very good, considering I haven't even got to Tgiving dinner or the many food gettogethers and gifts. I'm a little sore from yesterday's workout, mostly in the back shoulder area and the legs when I walk up stairs. Tomorrow I get to try the "B" workout for TTBW Beginner Level. I'm excited!
