Things on my mind today:

- I'm almost half way done with 'Dude, You're A Fag' for my Gay Mens Portland Book Club group on the 10th. It's not a novel by any means. It's a study, so there is a lot of good information but I really feel like it's a book for a class at school. I would recommend it for someone doing a paper or project on masculinity but I would not recommend it as a read for the layperson. I would have put it down if it wasnt for the book club.

- Tomorrow I am starting to eat salad again. I used to hate it but I've discovered that spinach salads are something I can actually handle. I got no fat dressing (which was hard to find, believe me) so I can put some of that on without a problem. I'll add some low fat feta cheese as well for some protein. I was going to the gym every single day but when I took my trip to Salem to visit the family a few days ago I didnt go while I was down there. So tomorrow I am getting back on the wagon and doing a daily double at 24 HR fitness along with eating super healthy.

- Today being a holiday put a cramp in my plans. I couldnt fill my prescriptions at Target because they were closed, couldnt pick up the holds that I have at the library and couldnt go to the bank. But tomorrow I am going to do all of those along with dusting off all my books and cleaning my car so I will feel accomplished when they are finished.

- My phone is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I've been without one for 3 days now and I am excited to be getting another one. It had finally given up the ghost as it wouldnt take a charge anymore. They tested the battery and cords at TMobile and determined that it was the actual phone. When I tried to use my backup phone it wouldnt work for the first time for me either, so I took that as a sign and didnt try to get a spare from TMobile for the few days without one. They offered me an old one, but I didnt really want to bother with all that. When the new ones comes Ill just slip over my SIM card and then everything will be up and running again. At least I hope.That would really blow if my apps didnt go over and I had to redownload everything.

- I'm heading to Utah in less than two weeks. I'm going to be reading to and from there on the drive, so that will be good with my reading list. I'm going to need to get my plans in order once things get closer so that I wont have a ton of down time. Though Erika and I will be spending the night at my Aunt Lindas house so we can play games and such there. I've organized a MoHo lunch (Thai, of course) and am hanging out with a few different friends, including Gay @ BYU.
