Random drivel while waiting at the brake place

I am back at the brake place today because I have noticed a thunk sound whenever I apply the brakes. I may not know enough to avoid getting hosed by mechanics, but I know that knocking noise wasn't there before and isn't a good thing. At all.

So I am sitting here with a guy and his sleeping kid, who is very cute. The guy has been very talkative and friendly and initially I thought he might be hitting on me (which would be wildly inappropriate with his 2 year old on his lap), but now I think he's trying to get me involved in some Tahitian Noni franchise. I am writing this post in no small part because he just asked me if I had time for a conference call, and that's just strange, so I am preteneding to be deeply engrossed in something worklike. Yeah, I really am this bad at saying "no."

I had very strange dreams last night. I dreamt that a friend of mine was going to a party for Nascar driver Jamie McMurray in Cornelia, GA near my parents' house. I really have no idea where that came from.

I am trying the new fad diet that's all about doing things in 5s. 5 small meals a day, each of which is supposed to contain: 1)lean protein 2) good carbs 3) good fats 4)fiber and d) liquid. That's pretty easy, right? And then 5 sessions each per wk of cardio and strength/flexibility training at least 25 mins at a time. That part is gonna take awhile to integrate, but ideally I'll do one session in the morning and one at either lunch or after work. We'll see. But the best part is that 1 day a week is a cheat day when you have whatever you want. That I can do! Of course if it seems too easy then it probably is. I'm sure the last critical step that they conveniently leave out is the plastic surgery.

I'm sure I'll have more randomness if I'm forced to wait here much longer.
