What a difference a day makes

I made myself eggs this morning and went to the gym with Sally and saw Clerks II with Casey and then went to Columbus circle and the park with him and then went on a date with RMMS and then met Drew for drinks. Now I have to edit Will's paper for him that is due tomorrow (which he sent me today) and then go to sleep so I can rewrite my BPD survey tomorrow and go the gym with Sally and hopefully go out with RMDPHDS if he isn't too tired from overnight call. I'm not sure if I feel better because I stuck to my diet (eggs with veggies, water, coffee, fruit salad, date walnut bar, morrocan kebabs and veggies and then vodka juice drink, missed a vitmanin dose b/c of timing with waking up late and stuff) or because I went to the gym or because I saw a movie I wanted to see (Clerks II was filthy but hilarious- up to Kevin Smith standards, but still not as good as Chasing Amy) or because it turned out to be a beautiful day and I walked in the park or because I finally found the Jewish culture magazine Guilt and Pleasure (www.guiltandpleasure.com) that I have been looking for for over 6 months or because Casey bought me Bill Bryson's Short History of Nearly Everything or because I made plans for this week that I am excited about or because I had a good conversation with my mom (that was an unexpected highlight of the day) - I was catching up with her and told her about my horrible date with RMMS (out it this way, for the first time in my life, i went to the bathroom so that I could pass the waitress and ask her to bring the check) and we were discussing RMDPHDS and she said oh he must be really modern and I responded in the affirmative and then she said does he keep shabbat? and I was like MOM, what do you think? and she said, i'm just asking, you went to a non-kosher restaurant on your date and i assume he didn't wear a kippah there and I just dont know, she tehn averred that she doesn't care as it is my life and I can live it as i choose, she just wants me to be happy. She was happy that I had fun plans for the week and she also told me that I didn't have to help Sophie and Will with their cover letters and papers, that I wasn't the family Englidh tutor and I dont' have to try to make everyone happy all the time like she does. I told her that I am doubly blesssed because I try to make everyone happy like her and I am very self-critical like my dad. She realized that that must not be a fun way to live.
Other highlights/minor accomplishments of the day- When Casey and I were in Borders he told me that I could pick a book as they were offering 2 for 3, so he picked 2 and offered me the third. Clearly I never turn down an offer for a book. I was looking through the books and I was tempted to get The Plot Against America by Philip Roth because RMDPHDS had mentioned it on our date, I have been meaning to read it but I knew that I wouldn't have chosen it had he not mentioned it. So then I picked the Bil Bryson book that I have been meaning to buy for a long time.
Before I sign off I want to encourage people to post comments- not to respond to me or to comment on my life (which is always welcome) but to perhaps share a little bit of your own experiences, in a sense feel out the blogging experience, i've found it helpful, maybe you will too and you can give it a test run on my page. I would love to have guest bloggers.
