Break me off a piece of that protein bar

Some weeks are busier and more interesting than others. Working at 7pm at least means that today is a busy day and this is going to be a busy week, both with work and in terms of finishing up a paper for class. But enough about the week that has only just begun. Two weeks ago was the week of well 2 weeks ago.

On Tuesday a friend I haven't talked to in over a year (which makes one wonder if friend status still applies) contacted me. On Wednesday I became a vegetarian. On Thursday I started the Library of Nobleness Blog. On Friday I broke up with my girlfriend. On Satuday I drove to Albany, NY for a friend's 30th b-day party and then on Sunday I visited 3 PA college libraries, made my theatrical debut in the highly acclaimed and broadly viewed social work monologues @ Kutztown University. You can read more about the latter part of this week in earlier posts.

Becoming a vegetarian wasn't a huge stretch b/c I had already given up red meat and chicken and pork, and veal, a few years ago. I have trouble digesting certain foods, and by trouble I mean that I have ended up in the emergency room a few times. So I've given up the foods that burn me and meats are among that category. But I have continued to eat fish and actually deli turkey meat (for some reason that doesn't give me trouble). But on that Wednesday, I was pushed to think about animal rights and cruelty in a new way. I won't get into all the details of my solo conversation, but here I am 2 weeks later and still a vegetarian.

I'm kind of tired quite a bit and am worried that I'm not eating right and particularly not getting enough protein. So I'm off for dinner and am going to order a plate of tofu and beans and wash that down with a an uber soy protein rich yummy shake. Or if anyone has suggestions for more appetizing protein rich fare, I'm all ears. All mouth. All tummy. All ready.
