Pink took the words right out of my mouth

I keep hearing the same words. It's not the voices in my head, it's the people around me. The want to know when we're getting married. We're both happy the way we are. "I want to be with him forever but I'm not ready for forever "(Pink).

My Soda

Almost a month and a half ago I was diagnosed with hypertension that needs to be controlled with medication. I must say that I did not take it in a stride. I cried. I've since calmed down and be on a mission to get healthy and live medication free if possible. I've been keeping a watchful eye on what I eat but I'm not on a diet. Losing weight would definetly help my plight but I am doing my best to not become fixated with that outcome. I have been making sure that I am consciously active for 30 minutes plus each and every day. Some days I'll just get off of the train or bus at the wrong stop to get it in. I've been feeling much much better. I've also started acupuncture therapy and this has really helped to increase my energy level. My treatment is also aimed at helping to lower and stabilize my blood pressure as much as possible.
In thinking about what lead to this point I had a conversation with my Mother. We began to think about my Aunt actually who lost 20 lbs when she stopped mainlining Pepsi Cola. The frustrating thing is that I don't even DO soda. As these words came out of my mother I had another thought, "Mom, what's my soda?". Together we tried to brainstorm and she shared her soda with me, it's sugar in any form. Makes sense cause she's a diabetic. I also am a cake and cookies biggest fan but I REALLY deprive myself. Might not seem like it but it's true folks. I generally like to have desert when out dining but I ALWAYS share. If no one wants to share I don't have it. I hurt on the inside when that happens but I survive.
Back to my soda, so we finally figured it out! My soda is eating out. Cooking really isn't my forte, the cuisines I really enjoy such as Indian, Thai, Spanish I don't know how to make the things that I really like. Spanish maybe but not Indian or Thai. Well I'm going to obviously have to learn. I've been going grocery shopping and keeping food in the house. Might seem bizarre but I never used to have anything in the fridge. Not true actually, I had plenty of spoiled things in there but nothing you'd actually want to eat. So I'm looking for recipes for fast, easy tasty morsels. It helps if the meal is also vegetarian because then the Man and I can dine together (read: He can eat the left overs so the food doesn't go to waste).
I plan to try out a curry tofu recipe tonight wish me luck.
