My boyfriend is taking a poll at his blog regarding the future of his facial hair (see, I told you I know how much you care about this very important topic).Check it out and please vote.

I ate my last pop-tart today.I'm done buying junk food. I'll eat the groceries I have already purchased, but after that, I'm afraid to say it. . . I think I have to go back on South Beach. This, needless to say, does not thrill me. Unfortunately the reality is that I have put back on some weight due to the increase in...

Random thoughts on a Monday nightWhy am I so energized? Oh, I had a can of Diet Pepsi this afternoon/evening. Yes, I'm a slow drinker.My blueberry cobbler is so juicy it's more appropriate to put it on top of ice cream, rather than putting ice cream on top of it. Oh well, it still tastes good!I'm debating Weight Watchers or South Beach Diet...

I have had just about all I can take.I am into photography. I would never say I'm super skilled at it, but even without training in the art of photography, I have common sense. And common sense is apparently missing from a lot of folks these days. I don't know what the deal is, but it seems that folks are afraid of taking...

The other day I wrote a post all about the long holiday weekend. Then I decided it needed pictures. Then I realized most of the pictures were taken on Jen & Andy's camera.
