Vague Valentine's Day plans have been made? Bel Canto advance? Downloaded my 20 song recital repertoire recording tonight?

The past 24 hours have been splendid!

Apparently I do video blogs now. They're so effective in terms of getting the emotions out for you crazy bitches.

LIKE THIS ONE! AAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHHHHHHHH!

So I was Googling things and remembered that I've always wanted to Google the Special K Challenge. Now, I realize that it's essentially a corporately endorsed way to be kinda ... on your way to an eating disorder, but that's part of what fascinated me about it.

Here's the deal: you replace two meals a day (one meal, in my case, since I already eat cereal for breakfast) with Special K cereal or a similar alternative (Special K waffles, Special K protein shakes, etc.). The third meal of your day is totally normal. I would, for instance, have garlic shrimp with pasta, carrots, and broccoli tonight after starving myself with cereal all afternoon.

Plus, I can't really tell, but I think the idea here is that you ALSO continue to work out while "taking the challenge." Um ... so you want me to die!? Sweet Jesus that's intense! But seriously ... how scary is that? I'll stick to eating a little better and running three or four miles a day, thanks!

So I think that when this super new incarnation of Facebook hits my homepage I'm going to go through my friends list and get rid of people I don't need to be friends with anymore, or am not really friends with, etc. Because 1,117 people is kind of excessive. As much as I like to pretend it's the case, even I can be real. Every once in a while I don't know the people who pop up in my newsfeed. That's what we call NOT BEING FRIENDS.

So yeah. Sometime this weekend, I would assume.

How adorable is this story? God, I don't know why I have so many feelings lately. But anyway:

When my sister was younger she came home from school one day and demanded I take her to the library so she could get books on sign language.

I asked why? She told me there was a new kid at school who was deaf and she wanted to befriend him.

Today I stood beside her at their wedding watching her sign "I DO".
