"Wow, you're really going whole hog into this."
Said a *certain* grim dude in reference to the meal I prepared tonight, chicken piccata. The recipe I used can be found here, for those of you who care.
It turned out really well. I would say even better than the eggplant Parmesan because I didn't spend 2 hours cooking it and I didn't have to bake it in the oven. In fact, when it comes to simplicity, I was quite impressed.
A shout-out is in order to Chrisy, who converted me to organic meat-eating. The chicken was great! If you haven't cooked with organic chicken, I highly recommend you give it at least one shot.
I have narrowed down the field of contestants for my piano teacher. However, I can't start taking lessons until I get a keyboard. If anyone has an 88 key, touch-sensitive keyboard with metronome for sale, I'll buy it from you!
Today was the start of the new session of boot camp. Run test tomorrow. Really would rather not go.
In other assorted news, I did SEVENTEEN (17) push ups today on my toes. I was rewarded by running a lap.
Over heard as I was leaving boot camp today:
Girl 1: "Yeah, Icy Hot, you rub it all over your ankle and then use one of those packs and wrap that around your ankle."
Girl 2: "And it works?"
Girl 1: "Yeah, totally, makes the pain go away."
Girl 2: "Hm...maybe I should go buy some...right now." - pause - "I can't believe I'm 30."

Wow. And you could only do...zero about a week ago? That's quite the improvement.
I also highly recommend cobra pushups, a la Dunndee, to blow your triceps up like nitro. You know, theoretically.
Actually last week I hit 4 push ups.
Ack! I can assume you mean "narrow" push ups?
I only do whatever my trainer forces me to do (that should be a t-shirt).
It brings a tear to my eye. Just a few short weeks ago you were excited by two.
I don't know what the heck he is talking about either. Cobra pushups? He told me they were python pushups. Perhaps the pushups where you slither back and forth instead of up and down? Killer.
Yeah, I was mistaken. Evidently they are called cobra pushups, but somehow I transmogrified that in my head to python pushups (I prefer the alliterative version).
Not sure what "narrow" pushups are, but with these you lay facedown on the ground, form a diamond with your spread palms under your chest, push your torso off the ground and lock your arms. Really burns the triceps and connector rigs (according to 45).
