Slowly Learning...

Still going strong. I made it through the wedding without many problems at all. In fact it was almost too easy. Vegetarianism has become so mainstream that most weddings and receptions and such have a vegetarian option readily available. At both the rehersal dinner and the wedding dinner I had more great food available to eat than I ever thought would be possible. I was even full and satisfied before it was even gone. I guess that's just another thing to thank Neil and Rachel for.

So since there isn't too much food progress to report, let's jump right into the other bullets:

- Great thanks to Neil, Rachel, and their families. It was a beautiful wedding and fantastic weekend. I'm just so happy that I was able to be a part of it all. Even if it did mean standing out in the sweltering heat in a heavy, black tux. At least it was a short ceremony. Still didn't quite feel clean and dry for almost two days later. It was also great seeing all the old roommates (except Nidhi who was busy with her own wedding/engagement things). I even got to see Sabra again (Finally!). It only took about two months of nagging and begging to get her to finally agree to come to the wedding with me. Even if it did mean that I had to pick her up and bring her back to Boston, and shave for the ceremony. It was all worth it.

- Driving 12 hours alone makes you think about a lot of things. I wrote most of them down, but don't have the paper with me. So for now I'll just have to leave it at that.

- 20 Down, 11 to Go. And I think after this month is up I'll continue the trend for another month. Not the vegetarian trend though, something new. I'm thinking of trying the month without TV path. I think it would be interesting to see how it works out, and would also be much more of a challenge than my veggie diet. I'm not sure if that's a good sign or a bad sign of the times though. Giving up TV is harder than giving up a whole food group? At least it's only for August too. I don't think I'd want to go a month without TV when there's actually football back on. I know, preseason in August, but that doesn't mean anything. Give me the regular season games! I'm also thinking of making a habit out of this. Giving something else up every month. Or maybe every other month or something. Sort of like having a bunch of mini-non-religious lents. However I'm not sure what else to get rid of after TV. Any suggestions?
