brightbluegirlLast night I did my cardio right after I got home, and ate dinner afterwards. I was very proud of myself. :D The workout movie right now is Footloose. As a result, I've got "FOOTLOOSE, FOOTLOOSE, put on your sunday shoes... na na na na na.." running through my head. (heh. footloose. running.)
Anyway, while I was working out, Andrew made biscuits, and we had biscuits and borscht for dinner. Yum yum!
Afterwards, we sat down and did some meal planning for the ceremony. We came up with lists of food, and ended up having to cut down on the dessert choices quite a bit. You can tell what we like. :P The buffet is going to be vegetarian and vegan, not just vegan. We realized it's VERY hard to plan a vegan buffet when a person who will be there is allergic to all legumes. And oats. And who knows what else. But since that cuts out soy, any dishes made with soy milk are a problem. I figure my value system allows milk and eggs that come from animals that are treated well. Free range chickens, for example, or cows from small dairies.
I think we're going to have two tables holding the food. One table with vegetarian options, one with vegan options. Everything is going to be well labelled with ingredient lists.
Andrew and I will probably make some of the food anyway, since most of the stuff we want needs to be fresh, and I can't expect his mother to cook for 3 days straight for this thing. We'll be renting a car anyway, so we can drive our stuff down.
I also found a store in Kelowna that we can rent tables/etc from, for relatively good prices (I don't know how they compare to other places, but they work for me). We'll have to call them sometime and find out a couple of things, and reserve the things we'd like to rent. That should probably be done sooner rather than later.
I think I've done enough ceremony planning for a while, though. Last night I had two dreams about ceremonies and weddings, and they were all busy and stressful-like. I don't want to get increasingly stressed about this day. I mean, really. It's not THAT big a deal.
I'm testing this week at work. I look forward to Thursday, when I can start test planning today.
And I keep thinking of my contract, and finding out about the money. I tense up when I think about it, and I think about it several times a day. It irritates me that I can't just go through my days and not get stressed about things that I can't change or effect before they happen, or that don't matter and I'm just going to have to live with anyway. I want to be the kind of que sera sera person who gets along in life quite happily.
Unfortunately, I also want to be the sort of responsible person that I am. I haven't quite figured out how to merge the two. Or maybe, just how to know when not to worry about/think about/tense about things.
I'm not making any sense.
In other news, I'm re-reading Madeleine D'Engle's "A wrinkle in Time" books. I do love them. She's such a great author. I would feel silly about people on transit seeing me reading kids books... no, no, I can't think of any time I would feel silly about that.
