Dieting & Dan

Dieting is hard. Let me just get that out of the way. There is so much good food out there and it is tough to be "healthy" all the time. I took some time off of my diet to see if I could eat healthier and that did not go as planned. I had lost 20 pounds prior to Thanksgiving and was proud of myself. Well that seems to be it as I am now back up 6 pounds. I know it is still 14 pounds better then I was but when you have been eating lettuce all the time you think that even if you have a little lax period you would not ballon up lilke a Sumo wrestler. So now I have to go back on a diet. The problem is I am hungry. All the time. I am sick of the flavor waters and I am sick of lettuce. I try to eat veggies but that is a pain. I am lazy. I wish there was a personal chef to do all this so I could spend time writing here and being a goof off.
My dear friend Dan is coming for a visit. Actually he was asked to perform for the Obama parade on the 20th of January. He plays the tuba. He is also incredibly adorable. I used to be madly in love with him. We met at Dutch Apple Dinner Theater in Lancaster, PA and become quick friends. I thought there was something there at one point but then nothing really happened. Now, friendly all these years later, I still sometimes wonder what could have been. I have Mark and am very happy (don't get me wrong) but you know how sometimes that rush of wonder overcomes you and you find yourself in a daydream? Anyway... he is supposed to play Tuba for the parade as part of the only GLBT marching band to march. His sister lives in Columbia, Maryland but he realized that it would be insane trying to get into town so he asked if he could stay with us. It should be fun since I have not seen him in a while.
So that is what is going on. I am sure I will write more sooner or later. I always do.
