I know without a doubt that we cannot leave Emily kitten here alone for a week in June. Yesterday we were gone for most of the day. When we came back she meowed up a storm wanting to know where we were. I settled on the couch for a good read and she immediately settled herself right in my lap obstructing my reading. Usually she contents herself sitting beside me since she's not a particularly snuggly cat. She sat with me purring quite loudly for a good hour or so. I tried reading my book and she kept pushing it away with her paw and nudging my hand with her head. What a sweet kitten. She missed is so much after just one day, how would she last a whole week alone? Some people may think I'm reading into her actions, but she never sits directly in our laps. She always sits to the side or on our legs, but never all snuggled up on our middles. It was a nice change.

I have successfully read over 100 pages of Moby Dick today! I had to take it in stages and break to read some of my girly romance novel, but I'm putting her away! I know not to read other nautical books from now on... Unless basely science fictional. I enjoy a good sci-fi. There was a chapter where the Pequod captured and slaughtered a whale... Let's just say I not only lost my appetite for lunch but I almost had to run to the bathroom and hurl! Disgusting. Makes me want to join "save the whales" it's so barbaric. I don't like hunting and all that anyways since I'm such an animal lover. On my list of books to read is "The Jungle", which I already own but haven't read. I've heard that I might become a vegetarian after reading it. It's about a slaughter house. We'll see. I appreciated Orwell's Animal Farm, so it all depends on the delivery.

Speaking of appetite, this morning I thought I looked rather skinny. Usually after I eat breakfast I feel day since my yummy is full. So I decided to bust myself with some household chores, errands, and a work out (which didn't last long because my knee popped early on, just one casualty of cheerleading). All in all, I ate less than 1000 calories today! And that included a trip to Panera for dinner with my dear friend, Kristin. I'm actually feeling quite satisfied right now. I've never hard core dieted because I've never been truly overweight. Maybe I'll try to limit my calorie intake to get to a good summer size. I think on the whole I enjoy food too much to actually diet anyways.

I'm trying to wear my glasses more often. I should so I can see better. It's just so frustrating when they constantly slide down my nose since I have zero bridge or give me a headache because of the pressure I create when subconciously scrunch my nose. Next time I go glasses shopping I'm definitely waiting until I find something comfortable before buying. These we're convenient since they were from the office Matt's mom works in so I got a discount. I really like the frames, they just don't like my face.

It's only 10:30 and I already feel like it's bedtime. During a normal week I'd give in and go to sleep. But this is my spring break! I'm supposed to stay up late and sleep in! Granted, I did sleep in obnoxiously late this morning, but that was due to a horrible night on the couch because Matt is sick. Oh well, I'll just read some more until Matt decides to go to bed. He's the one who has to get up at 6 tomorrow so I definitely shouldn't be going to sleep before him!
