I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks and want some frothy beach reads to bring along (ie nothing too challenging since I plan on being buzzed for most of it). Any recommendations?

Experiment failed. I'm back on the 'zac. Boooooooooo!

I finally got off my arse and got all the memberships and reservations for Dcon 2010. This next year WILL be better for me damnitall.

Has anyone else seen this site?

I am currently laughing so hard that I'm cryin' over this one:http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/2009/08/22/saturday-night

I haven't had a chance to catch up on my friends' blogs this week so I've had a lot of reading material for this lunch break. Sounds like everyone was affected in some way by the rains.

It's rather like a puzzle as some meds can't be taken at the same time as others. Some must be taken on an empty stomach and some with food. I mapped it out yesterday after speaking ( Read more... )

I just could never feel joy at Dcon this year. Physically and especially mentally I just wasn't into it and called it quits after Saturday night. I really tried though. Everytime I felt like I was getting into it, something would happen to derail my mood. I have that regrettable feeling that I missed things I would have enjoyed, but feeling ( Read more... )

The battle of the bulge has won. After 6 weeks of dieting and increased exercise, I've managed to gain 5 pounds. And no, its not muscle. As a matter of fact, I have to go buy bigger sizes this weekend. So much for my goal of losing 5 pounds before dcon. I'm so frustrated that I've been sitting here at work crying all day. I haven't cried like ( Read more... )
