I may have just discovered the joy of coconut cream for myself. I had 2 slightly overripe mangos, left over from a buy 1 get 1 free sale last week. I was looking for something to do with them, because Mum had bought some at costco today as well, so I was slightly overrun.

I've been following 2 of my favourite charities this week. 1: Race2Recovery, a group of ex/current service members who have been injured while overseas. They formed 2 years ago, in hoped to be the first disabled rally team to enter the Dakar. They trained their asses off, and expanded, and made it this year.

I got the most amazing shawl for Christmas this year from my Mum. She says it took her 7 weeks to complete, and that it was the hardest pattern she's ever done. I believe it took her 7 weeks to complete, because I had a nasty habit of showing up when she was working on it ( Read more... ) -

I just realized something. Right now, at 29 years old, I'm lighter than I was throughout all the earlier parts of my twenties.
Feels good.
