    I keep trying to learn to love sushi, but I just can't do it.

    Watch "Jiro Loves Sushi" for inspiration.

    California roll and smoked salmon roll were my "gateway drugs". From there, progress to steamed shrimp nigiri. Then maybe to a seared fish nigiri or roll. Finally, the jump to raw fish is easier that way.

    I wound up living in Tokyo for 2 1/2 years so learning sushi was a must for me.

    Good luck with it!

    Good documentary!

    Did you visit his shop? SO and I are going to do our best to try to get there when we (in a few years) get to Japan.

    Still on my bucket list!

    ooooh Thank you.

    @riderfangal don't forget your deodorant before your date tomorrow night ;)

    ETA: posting from an iPhone sucks

    Dress up, go out,have fun and wear deodorant. You guys have really high expectations of me

    Haha I was playing! We're super excited for you! And maybe living a bit vicariously through you :)

    You have no idea how much I appreciate your guys support. Honestly I probably would have declined if it wasn't for a little prodding from all of you haha

    @Susieq_1994 Well, I am old enough to be your mother. I try to give my kids the balance of grace and love and toughness that they need to grow to be healthy, resilient, competent adults. They know they are loved, they know can come to me with anything. But I am far from perfect and make plenty of mistakes. I tell them when I make a mistake and apologize.

    I don't know (much) about what your childhood was like but probably my style of parenting is likely different than what you had, that is true. You are grown now, into an articulate, intelligent, kind, lovely woman. Who you are and who you become is up to you. You are in control. Practice everyday being the person you want to be. Surround yourself with people who exhibit traits you wish to have. Set boundaries and maintain them. Love yourself as you are while setting goals for who you want to be. Circumstances can change greatly. Keep your faith, keep you eyes on your goal and every day do something (however small) to move toward your goals. (This advice was given to be at the beginning of my graduate career.)

    The potluck was a success. I told a number of co-workers about your hummus recipe. <3 I have a lot of interns this summer and they are doing a great job on all the projects. They also are good cooks. It was fun and we are going to do it again before they head back to school.

    I'm sorry guys, I have to skip the last 50 pages or so... I've had a very rough last couple of days. My husband had a seizure and ended up at the ER three days ago. It was a very traumatic experience for both of us. Long story short, hes okay now, but we're both shook up and scared. Hope everyone is doing alright

    Hope your husband is doing well!

    Ok so, they didn't have my dessert!! :( But when I asked and our server saw how sad I was, she agreed that she's sad about it too. She said she really believes that they will bring it back because it's so popular..nobody understands why it's been taken off the menu in the first place.
    So anyway, I had my awesome dinner (same thing I always get when we go there) and for the very first time, I couldn't finish it! I actually had to take some home!!! CRAZINESS! Of course I saved room for my dessert backup...the largest size of Cold Stone Cookie Doughn't You Want It. Then, I even finished off (about 75%) the largest size of the French Vanilla that my husband and son shared...but I added a TBSP of peanut butter! Now, I'm probably about 1500 over maintenance but I'm absolutely stuffed!! And now I even have some leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Yay!
    ETA: thank you all again for the lovely birthday wishes!

    Sorry about the desert but sounds like you had a wonderful birthday! It stinks when you look forward to something for that long and don't get it!

    "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

    Are you confessing to secret woodchucking?

    I don't think woodchucking is generally a secret that would garner a confession... Every time we toss out a piece of paper, we're generally chucking wood. :p Maybe he's confessing to wasting too much paper. o:)

    You win the internet today! Bows down and then run away embarrassed.

    You don't have to work ever again?!

    Okay so here's my real confession for starting myfitnesspal: I'm 29, I'm 5'2 and I weigh 137. I'm overweight and I'be never really been over 130- but I'm getting to the age where I'd like to have kids and I want to be in great shape when I do as I've heard the better shape you're in before getting pregnant the easier it is after pregnancy to bounce back. It's hard as my mother had five babies and was always so super teeny tiny! I want to be the fit hot mom like my mom was when I was growing up! Is that selfish :#

    Being a hot mom is my goal! Petty but true!

    I confess I forgot to put deodorant on before I went for my walk tonight. I walked 3 Miles in 90 degree heat. We'll you get the picture heading for a shower
    I keep deodorant in the car and my desk at work (when I have a desk and a work :( ) because I frequently forget. My daughter did it the other day and said she had to do the T-Rex arm thing all day.

    Lol I was hoping everyone I met on the trail couldn't smell me. Please don't smell me please don't smell me

    Lol! I keep one at work just in case. When I worked in the bar industry I always had one in my purse! Glad I'm not the only one!

    I have that one beat - I financed a NordicTrack back in the 80's. Still in pristine condition :p
    But I bet it's great for hanging clothes..?
