Sparks

I woke up this morning to the sound of our front door squeaking open: My roommates are home! I was bleary-eyed, smelly, and messy-haired, but I gave them all huge hugs of welcome. Home seems like home, now that the sounds of other people in the house fill the silent corners of my formerly single-membered residence.

I spent most of the day rearranging, reorganizing, and cleaning out my new private bedroom. I had Bridget Jones' Diary and Edge of Reason playing in the background throughout the day, and revisited my old friends Bridge, Mark, and Daniel. There's something very appealing about a frumpy chubby Texan-with-a-British-accent who wins the heart of not only one above-average attractive Brit, but two, and double that one more time, with the sequel.

Ate lunch at a neighborhood favorite, what we like to call the "Muslim" restaurant with the roomies, and talked about their backpacking trip through Malaysia. They came back rosy from the sun and weary-eyed from their red-eye flight.

Did some yoga in the afternoon, and was reminded of my extreme lack of balance and flexibility, and a bit turned off by the vibrating humming of a man chanting throughout the soundtrack of the DVD. Makes me feel weird. Hopefully by summertime, I'll be able to do one of those poses without my back leg trembling like crazy (what's up with that??) and making my leg flex as straightly as the oddly masculine-yet-femininely attractive lady on the DVD.

I'm trying to be healthy with all the free time on my hands these days, so I've started tracking my calories and physical activity throughout the day. Most of the time these kinds of things don't last for me, but my goal is at least two weeks, for now. Yesterday was a whopping 2,487 calories (it might have something to do with the Dairy Queen Oreo Blizzard I had while waiting at the theater for Australia -_-;;), but I kind of made up for it with my 1,584 calorie food count today.

Tomorrow is our first team meeting in like, FOREVER, so it will be weird-awkward-good to see everyone all together again. I kind of wasted a lot of time doing nothing productive since I've been back, so I'm kinda nervous about seeing everyone else and 'fessing up to the fact.

Oh well, here goes.
