day 3

it seems like i've been a little debby downer this week, and i don't mean to be. but, i'm going to complain about something else. the second most viewed story on CNN today is "Crumbling economy makes for thinner boxes of Thin Mints." who cares? seriously? the second most viewed? i'm pissed. people wouldn't even notice that they had two less cookies or the shape was a little smaller, but now people are gonna be all up in arms about their stupid girl scout cookies. i mean, i love them, don't get me wrong, but is this what people really care about?! cookies?!

okay, finished.

today was such a fun day, and that dumb article almost made me forget that. i was walking to the office this morning and when i left my apt. it was just drizzling and i thought i'd make it. oh no. i was about 4 minutes from the office and it started pouring!! not to mention that the wind was about 40 mph. i had my rain jacket on, but thats all. i tried running but figured there was no point, i was already soaked, and the wind was blowing me into the street. but i was running and laughing and smiling. it was so fun! um...yea that's all. oh and i had some really good convos today with people that i don't talk to that often, so yay!

today's menu:
1/2 grapefruit
2 pieces of cornbread
1/2 slice of pizza (donation)
2 chocolate cookies (left over from yesterday's class)
1 peppermint patty (stolen from natalie's office)
1 bowl of bean soup with leftover nasty vegetables mixed in
1 sip of hot chocolate (thanks, stephanie!)

like i said yesterday, i don't even get hungry. at all. it is such a mental thing, though, knowing that i can't have food makes me want it even more. and whenever there is something free around, i'm all over it. today i was walking through the conference center on campus and, surprise, there was a conference going on and they had free food in the lobby. i really almost walked over there to get some! i figured the bright pink back pack and my lack of a name tag would give me away.

MDG #4 is reduce child mortality. do i really even need to say anything about this? alleviating hunger and increasing the amount of nutrition people receive plays a key role in this. ok.
