Blank pages intimidate me.

There's something about all that expansiveness that really gets my goat. I literally don't know where to start. Anyways, there is a very good reason for my absence. After coming back from my awesome road trip to the Grampians I was very very sore. For various reasons. I am not going to dwell too much on this because I want to post about my trip properly and I am actually waiting to grab the other half of the thousand photos we took from Yogi. Somehow, it seems that I managed to take mainly pics of her and she of me. So, unless you want to see just pics of the Great Australian Outback (which trust me was breathtaking!) I will hold off on that a little more.

I've just eaten my second chocolate bar for the day. Which totals to about ~500 calories between them and I'm feeling disgusting. Don't blame me - I haven't had chocolate (not counting the Jaffas that were eaten while watching 'Pretty Woman' on my trip. Junk food is not negotiable) in ages. So why stuff my face now?? Um, really....I was bored.

Friday and I was bored. Not to say I didn't have work to do, but I was not motivated enough to do it. So I thought that a little reward would be enough to get me going. Nope. So a second one was bought in the hopes that it would kickstart the feelings from the first one. Nothing. Nada.

So I have eaten probably half of my daily intake in an hour. Great. On the weight loss front, speaking of which, I am down to 56 kilos. Woohoo! That's a great effort since I have eaten atrociously over the last few weeks with the training conference away and the trip and general badness on myself. Exercise has been kind irregular and my excuse since I got back is that I am too sore to move (Patience. I WILL eventually tell you why my inner thigh muscles are killing me beyond belief). But I am good now and with the thought of the Firm mid-year ball coming up at the end of June, I hope to be at least a good 2-3 kilos lighter by then.

But, it ain't going to start tonight. Tonight....Evs is taking me out to dinner and a movie. I looked at him in total surprise when he said that he was taking me out, because you know, everyone knows that romance dies after marriage (kidding peoples lol).

He tried to make me guess and gave me the clue that it was a restaurant that didn't serve alcohol. After getting over my dismay, I thought hard and really couldn't think of any restaurant that would shy away from having a bottle or two on hand.

"Aha!!" I exclaimed. "It's the Hare Krishna restaurant!!".

The look I received back was one of total non-amusement.

It turns it that it is a Middle-Eastern restaurant. I've never eaten Middle-Eastern food - oh wait - actually, yes once. I just remember tender lamb and mild spices and darkness infused with heady incense.

We're going to see the new Star Trek movie afterwards. Now....not my choice of movie and when I heard, all my suspicions were verified! Buttering me up with the promise of tender lamb so he can watch his geeky movie!!! Heheh, well, I have heard it is pretty good and despite me not having seen a single Star Trek movie in my life and knowing vaguely of someone called 'Spock' and that they were matching colour coded skivvy tops and have pointy ears not unlike the Wiggles (the skivvies not the ears! :P) - it's going to be interesting.

Tomorrow as well, my wedding photographer has promised to make me a model. Well, not quite but Evs and I will be shooting an Indian inspired photoshoot with him tomorrow. With our best Indian clothes and free professional shots afterwards, how could I say no?? The blingier the better, he said.

So, bring on the Bling.
