"What You Having for Lunch?"

2.9.10. I am grateful for my lunch crew! They make me laugh and encourage me through this crazy diet! (Thanks coach DEREK!)

My 1 p.m. lunch crew always makes me laugh. At work, we are assigned to eat at certain times and so the 1 o'clock 'ohana' consists of Tiffany, Kathy, Shona, Theresa, Derek and I. Our mealtime conversations are always interesting (and sometimes downright scandalous!), often amusing, sometimes intellectual and once in a while, heated. Today's discussion with Derek and how he thinks it's okay for a man to hit a woman if she hits first. . .well, I give him credit for standing his ground in a group of women. On top of that, he is 'camera shy' and would only allow his arm and sandwich to be in the photo (what a burgah!). Ah well, that's my lunch crew! It was nice to have the whole crew there, Theresa is often busy and Shona has showed up more lately. And through these weeks of salivating over everyone else's food while I drink skim milk and eat celery, they are all encouraging (even Derek, who's 'encouragement' comes in the form of "mmm, this sandwich tastes REALLY good, you want a cookie?". . .gee thanks, bro! I have a very looong memory. . .one day, lol). Other things I'm grateful for today: meeting with the ladies of Na Wai after a long hiatus, my husband bringing 'lunch'.
