So I decided for a new color for this website. It felt like it was time for something different after the time change and the great sunny weather. I played around with a lot of color combinations, but I hope this one works. Please let me know if it’s hard to read. I can change it pretty easily now that I have the coding down. Big thanks to M for her objective opinions and also for Josh’s help. I do miss the hot pink though. I may have to change it again soon if I get tired of it. I had some cool retro color combinations, but it was a little hard on the eyes and I didn’t want to subject you guys to it.

Today was the first time that I ever cooked tofu. I know that it doesn’t mean much to some, but I really don’t consider tofu as part of my diet normally. I blame it on Josh entirely now that he’s gone vegetarian. I stir-fried it with veggies and soy sauce. We cooked up some veggie potstickers and rice and it became a yummy vegan meal. I was surprised that the tofu turned out so well because I had no idea how to prepare it. I am glad that we are eating healthier and Josh pointed out that our meal roughly cost $3.00 total. Now I am a big fan of that. Too bad I am still a carnivore though. I need meat at least once a day or else I will stay hungry. It’s weird how my body is conditioned to that. We watched more episodes of The Office (British version) and knitted and vegged some more. Josh is feeling a lot better, though the sickness is still lingering a bit.

I was able to catch up with some old friends today. I had a great and long IM conversation with Amy P, who is all the way in Japan. (Technology still amazes me.) She just got back from a brief trip to Kyoto. I think that it is awesome that she gets to travel so much. Amy and I have a really strong understanding of each other’s relationships. We all knew each other when we got together with our significant others 6 years ago. I guess we share that special bond and it is wonderful to be able to talk openly about every aspect of our relationships. It feels like she is still with me here in LA, except I don’t see her that often. I can’t believe that it’s almost been a year and she will be back soon! Yay!! I am glad that I was able to talk to Andrea, because I had been teasing about her Wisconsin boy. He commented on this website a few days ago underneath her profile and I thought that it was the cutest thing. She seems to be doing well and is still hating Denver. I am bummed that she will not be back in LA this summer, but I am hoping to see her very soon. In about a year and a half, I can finally call her “Dr. Dre” and it will be true this time. I love catching up with old friends, it is a great feeling.
