Happy Cinco de Mayo everybody!! Let's celebrate with...oh wait...well, we can't have chips and salsa. Or beer. Or any alcohol. Or any Mexican. I'm pretty sure that Cinco de Mayo is pretty much ruined. So let's pretend like nothing is happening today. Okay, good!

Did it feel like Friday to anybody else? I went the entire day excited that it was Friday...and then I remembered when I got home that it's actually Thursday. Which is unfortunate.

On the bright side, I'm 4 days away from finishing my first phase 2! Unless I decide to extend the phase a little...it depends on where I end up at the end of this week!

Something funny - I don't know if you saw my picture or not...but I tried baking with Almond Flour yesterday. My first attempt was pita bread and it turned out okay, I think. I can't taste it yet. I made Will try it and he said that it tasted good. So we'll see, soon! But then I tried to make Cinnamon Raisin cookies...and that did not turn out. At all. I opened the oven to check on the nine cookies I made...and they had formed into one HUGE cookie. I had to throw them out because they didn't really do what they were supposed to. And when I say "throw out" I mean give to Will to take to his roommates...they ate them! He said it tasted like toffee..sweet!

Today has been hard because I really want to eat some Asian food...I want some rice and general tso's chicken...bad.....and instead...I had 1/2 a grapefruit for breakfast, lettuce and chicken for lunch, and am going to have cottage cheese and asparagus for dinner. *sigh* I wish I had a special powder that could make anything taste like I wanted it to at that moment...that would be great.

We should start working on that!
