I haz birds! I put the feeder out yesterday evening, and when I came home for lunch today there were five very pretty little House Finches on it. They all were sporting a bit of red, so I can only assume they were all fellows.

So, I've noticed this odd pattern and I'm not sure what is causing it. I eat the same things each week. Monday night I have brown rice with veggies. Tuesday night I have veggie soup and salad. Wednesday night I have a couple slices of pizza and salad. I work out after I eat by either taking Ferguson out for a walk/jog or jogging on the treadmill. I've noticed that on the nights I eat pizza, I feel weak and wobbly after traveling about a mile and a half. I feel great starting out, and the first half of my walk/jog is the hardest because it is all uphill. However, at the halfway point, I start feeling exhausted and weak. This never happens on any other day. But it almost always happens on pizza night. So, is my body telling me that soup, salad, veggies, brown rice, and even tofu hot dogs are yummy and nutritious, but pizza sucks? I think I might have to modify my menu on Wednesday to something a bit better for me to prevent my body from crashing while I'm a mile and a half away from home. And the wind didn't improve my mood today. It's blowing steady at 30 MPH, but the gusts are up to 45 MPH. And in an arid climate like this, you just end up with a bunch of dust in your mouth when you go outside during evil!wind time. Sucks.

When I'm bored, I love to browse YouTube and find people who cover popular songs or write their own music. Olivia Thai is a favorite of mine. I love the tone of her voice, and she's so adorable. You can hear her singing her cover of Soulja Boy Tell'em's "Kiss Me Through the Phone" right here. Jason Chen appears in a couple of Olivia's videos and you can see him solo singing Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" over here. C-Note has been a busy boy, and I think he's making strides toward getting a record deal. Here is where he covers Lyfe Jennings's "Never Never Land". Ernie Halter is wonderful, too. You can hear him sing Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River" right here. And my most favorite of favorites: David Choi. He's notorious for covering hip-hop and R&B songs and turning into acoustic guitar songs. Like his cover of The Dream's "Shawty is a Ten" .

I love the house finches. I always feel better if I eat protein! Thanks for the music, Cry Me a River...I love it.

The finches are adorable. One of them was on my cement patio this morning. It hopped up to the glass door and gave me a look, then flew up to the bird feeder for more food.

Yay for wildlife! Birds are fun to watch, even if my oldest vacillates between being afraid and wanting to catch them.

The pizza problem might be because it's heavier than the food you eat the other nights. Or it could be that the rice gives you energy faster, and the pizza (protein) takes longer to digest, withholding energy. ? My best guess without knowing more. Could possibly have more to do with what you eat for lunch/snacks on those days than the dinners. *thoughtful*

I'm such a boring creature of habit. I eat the same things for breakfast and lunch each day weekday. I have cereal with soy milk in the morning, fruit for a mid-morning snack, and a tofurky & cheese sandwich with greek yogurt and walnuts for lunch. Because making something different each day is a pain in the ass.

The pizza isn't really trashy pizza. It *is* frozen pizza, but I get it from Trader Joe's, so it's organic with yummy cheese and tomato sauce. I split it in half and eat half myself and give Jason half. I guess it is meant for one person, but all of it is just too much for me. I'm going to try something different this coming Wednesday and see how things go. If I don't feel fatigued, then I can only assume the pizza was the culprit. Which sucks because pizza is the easiest thing to cook and it dirties the least amount of dishes.
