So when I went to the doctor a few weeks ago, I was a little disappointed to learn that I weigh the same as in May; the last time I went to the doctor, and when I really started going to the gym. Really!?!?! Yes, I understand that you build up muscle before you can start loosing weight, but how frustrating! I don't feel that I go overboard with ( Read more... )

I may be one of the few people who has held out on buying an iPod. There hasn't been a particular reason for holding out, either. Part of it has been that they are expensive, and by the time you purchase one, it's already out-dated. I fully intent on buying one eventually, cause they certainly are more Metro friendly. Perhaps Santa will take ( Read more... )

So! As you may or may not remember, my car was stolen a few months ago. Gasp? Hasn't that been resolved, you ask? You have your car back, so you and your little Neon can drive off into the sunset while lollipops and rainbows dance on your windshield ( Read more... )

And while Palin proved she can be confident while delivering the same prepared comments over and over (a stark contrast to her interviews), Biden had a few "Oh Snap!" moments he dished out.

I thought I would share a few things I've observed around the city over the past couple of weeks that have been heartwarming, interesting, or just bizarre ( Read more... )

I just watched Obama's speech. And all I can say is... wow.

This is what I hate about flying back later at night: I can't sleep. Sure, my flight got in at 9pm, but for some reason, I'm wide awake. Something happens during that 2 hour flight where I feel like a new day has started. It happened when I flew into Chicago Friday night: when I landed, I got my second wind. Despite that side-affect, I like ( Read more... )
