…period.  Here it is, 4am, and I’m still awake.  I’m kicking myself for not doing the 16hr fasting trick that worked last time.  But my mother in law had prepared a surprise for us when we got home from our trip to the states – we walk into the apartment only to find a kitchen filled with home cooked Turkish food and the dining room table set for two for lunch.  And it was all of my favorite dishes.  There was no way I could say to myself “nah, I’m going to fast for another 7 hours so that I get my body on track”.  So we ate.  And it was lovely.  And now I am sitting here awake at 4am by myself bored out of my mind.  I think I’ll go watch some Gossip Girl on watchtvsitcoms.com.  Do you know this site?  If not, I highly recommend – it is fantastic.  Goodbye for now and Happy New Year!
