hello, monday! the cleanse begins! don't worry, detailed accounts of my food intake will not become a regular thing. unless, of course, there's an uproarious clamour for them. i do wish to oblige you, my lovely, loyal readers, whenever possible, you know.

my amazing race party was... fun. when i put the sushi order in last week, i was expecting twice as many people as eventually showed up. of course, that just meant there was more (really yummy) sushi for the rest of us, so it's really hard to get upset about the no-shows. of course, i now have a cupboard full of chips, crackers and other verboten foods i have to somehow ignore or pawn off on people before i hit a day three mania for wheat and sugar. anyone want to come over to eat chips & crackers tonight?

oh, my amazing race team in the office pool was the first team eliminated. this is after my survivor pool contestant got voted off the island on thursday. how much does that suck? i shouldn't complain, though. i won a pool once and usually have teams go all the way to at least fourth place. someone's got to go first. le sigh.

i have an appointment with the ophthalmologist this afternoon. when i called to book it last week, i was just going to go in for a follow up and to say "hey, i've been putting the gunk in my eye like you told me to for five weeks now and nothing's really changed". of course, two days after i made that appointment, my eye decided to go all apeshit crazy again. last night, as i did everything i could to avoid noticing the visual distortions, i thought "well, i guess it's good i'm going to the doctor tomorrow". when i woke this morning, everything was back to new-normal (as opposed to old-normal, which is what i'd really like it to be), but not crazy like the last few days. this whole thing is starting to piss me off. anyone know where i can get a new pair of peepers?

i'm really looking forward to this cleanse. i seem to have this idea that it's going to do wonders for me - physically, mentally. i hope i'm right. i hope my strength of will is up to the task. i hope i don't drive everyone crazy while i'm doing it. hell, i hope *i* don't go crazy doing it!
