#26 Crossed Off, Update on #10

So the last five days have been very interesting for me. I am five days into my vegetarian goal (#10) and it is going okay. I started off a little skeptic but I have been doing surprisingly well. I have discovered that places like Chipolte and Moe's charge less money when you don't have meat. I have discovered that black beans are super awesome and have added tomatoes into my menu. I never liked tomatoes but am starting to like them a lot. I have discovered that my body is reacting differently now. (Perhaps it was my May the fourth be with you/Cince do Mayo party last night). The last couple days I have been sluggish. I think I need to increase my fruit intake. I'm actually becoming more and more used to the idea of being vegetarian and eating out has not been an issue for me yet. 

While I was at the party (mentioned above) someone brought a bottle of wine to the party. I never thought that I would finally find the one wine I like (#26) where it was all margaritas and Coronas. But I did it, I finally like a wine!!!! SWEET RED! It's perfect for me. I love sweet drinks and it's just what I want. 

On a personal note, May 10th is coming, it marks one year since my dad passed away . Obviously I miss my dad very much. It still hurts me knowing I can't give him a call telling him about new things in my life. It still hurts that I can't get a hug from him when a boy is mean to me. It still hurts that I can't hear him say he loves me, or he's proud of me, or that I'm beautiful. I'm sad that my sister won't have her dad at her confirmation. I'm sad my brother can't go out on the golf course with my dad. And mostly I'm sad that my mom can't lay in bed next to the man who she loves. 

However, I'm glad that I call my mom everyday. I'm glad my sister is my best friend. I'm glad my brother and I don't fight anymore. I'm glad that my family leans on one another. I'm glad we hug each other and love each other just a little bit more than we used to.
