don't get them in the wrong order

I'm going to try the one-meal-a-day-plus-cigarettes-and-coffee-and-Diet-Coke diet for a while because after the cruise I feel like Jabba the Hut. (Yes, I do recognize that this is terribly unhealthy, but I've got a degree in Health Behavior and am a professional so shut up.)

Speaking of food, I've got a coffee "date" (serious air quotes there) with the ol' personal chef.

Some of you will recall that for my 30th birthday, my brother had his acquaintance, a personal chef named Rob, come to my kitchen and teach me a few things (knife skills, how to make a roux, etc.). Now that I've sent off my app to FCI, my brother encouraged me to get back in touch.

(Yeah, okay, Jase, whatever -- I see through this completely.)

So, sure, I emailed him for some advice and Rob suggested a coffee outing. AB will be here for a week, so late next week it will have to be.

(Rob flies to St. Bart's once a week to cook for some secret celeb client. Very swanky.)

In other news: I can't sleep at all.
