The sun is out, it has *finally* stopped raining, and I have lost 28.6% of the weight I am trying to lose. Woo hoo! I am going to slowly walk to the sandwich shop to get lunch and enjoy that funny thing they call sun, which I haven't seen in at least a week.

Oh, and tonight is the season finale of ANTM!

We in New England have yet another ocean storm backing into us. I greedily want more and more days of the beautiful sunny weather we have had recently. But alas, rain is in store. Which, in truth, is a good thing, since we've been particulary dry. As Smokey the Bear says, "Only you can prevent forest fires." Well, the weather is really the ( Read more... )

I recently decided that I should be working towards a healthier weight. So, I've started working towards healthier eating. I am working to make a weight/size goal by the time we go on our cruise in December (yes, we are going on a cruise! woo hoo!). So, here it is, a public acknowlagement of this all.

I've never been on a cruise, I've never been to the Bahamas (or anywhere more tropical than ( Read more... )

My aunt who is not a coffee drinker very kindly gave the coffee drinkers in the family flavroed coffee gift packs for Christmas. The coffee, however, is just not even worth drinking. It is so sad to prepare a cup of coffee (I'm a bit of an addict, I have coffee, filters, and a one cup brewer that live at my desk) and have it turn out to not even ( Read more... )

Recently McDonald's has had a promotion where if you buy a breakfast sandwich you get a free cup of coffee. They're doing this because they've switched to Green Mountain organic coffee in Mass., Conn., and NY. So it's actually pretty good coffee.
