We did it!

Attention Attention!! Rachel Popson and Joanna Cappola have officially gone an entire 24 hours without spending ANY money and didn't walk into a SINGLE restaurant! All 3 meals were prepared, cooked and eaten IN our apartment. We even stayed within the healthy criteria of our new diet. Man did we eat healthy yesterday! The first sucessful day of following a diet is key I think. Because after that you just feel guilty for cheating because then it knocks you off a track. It's much easier to keep saying "The diet starts tomorrow". Saying "The diet started yesterday" holds a lot more weight....no pun intended. We also went on a run yesterday around Jamaica Pond which is a huge pond just a few blocks away. I wore a sweatshirt on the run which is something I've never done before. I took a cold shower afterward and there was still heat radiating from my head. We didn't spend all of yesterday in the apartment however. We decided we needed a map of Boston since we don't know where any of the neighborhoods are in relation to eachother, or in relation to themselves for that matter. Triple A gives free maps to their peeps, who we are, so we decided to drive to the Boston office and get some free maps. Driving in Boston is ridiculous! It's so confusing! Barbera (our GPS) took us to the only office the internet says is in Boston. Imagine two girls from Kentucky just moving to NYC and unexpectingly driving into Times Square. Barbera took us right into downtown. We never found the place and still have no maps. The whole trip took over an hour. It got us out of the house though and we got to see some of Boston. We spent the day sending resumes, writing some letters, I played some guitar and going back and forth convincing eachother (successfully) to go for a run. We also started a very unhealthy habit yesterday. We know from being devout LOST watchers for so many years that you can watch any ABC tv show online. We decided to choose one to get into. After spending all day being economical and healthy, we needed some sort of guilty pleasure. We chose "The Bachelor Pad". Very attractive men and women living together in a beautiful mansion looking for love and competing for money. There's betrayal, scandels, manipulation, sex and drama. We're HOOKED. And we feel awful about ourselves because of it. One of my biggest concerns about going out with friends tonight is that we probably will have to wait until tomorrow to see whats next. I'm disgusted with myself. Anyway... At the beginning of the day we got a package from Aunt Jackie. She had made us a photo album of some memories of Denver. We sat on the couch and went back in time. We look at pictures of mountains now the way we used to look at the Manhattan skyline. The album is amazing and we're so thankful. Today we woke up early, did laundry, ate some healthy omega rich oatmeal, sent some resumes and we're going to spend the day with Caitlin and Jim. Good day to you all! -lj
