yet another manufactured holiday

I ended the last post saying I hope the week stays busy but unfortunately it was not. I had one wisdom tooth pulled the week before. It was by far the most painless dental procedure ever. But for some reason the healing process took a longer time. I felt like there was this sour taste in my mouth as well as my tongue and throat felt completely swollen. So due to not feeling well, i wasnt really much for going out around town. Usually I will atleast venture out to the grocery store to pick up some fresh fruit or veggies, or even go to a cafe to read, but i stayed confined to my apt complex.

I finally decided to start working out. I realized that i have gained way too much weight over the past year and half. I think it has been 8 or 9 months since i have exercised, so this was shaping up to be a very painful process. I found a few strength training regimens online, one good one was on oprahs web page, another on ballys web page. I am actually following the one on bally's page. The first few days the running was very tiring, i felt like after 12 or 13 minutes i was about to collapse...so i had to really push myself to atleast do a run/walk combo for 20 minutes. I figure if i can keep up 4 to 5 times a week for another 2 weeks, I should start getting back into a process which wont feel like im killing myself.

This week was very slow. I spent my days alone, and then my evenings were alone as well. Khuram had to work late 2 nights this week, and 2 nights he had meetings. So this brings me to V-day. Yes on valentines day my husband had a meeting and came home late, so late i had to tape LOST to watch it with him. I was chatting online with a friend, and she felt pity for me that he had a meeting and would be home late. I really don't care for it. I feel like Vday gives guys an excuse not to be romantic for the rest of the year. I mean why can't guys/girls think out side the box if they do decide to celebrate it. I mean is flowers/chocolate/and a romantic dinner the only thing people can think of to do on that day. What ever happened to spontaneity?!!
