Look! I am excited and making exclamations in all caps!
LOOK WHAT I MADE. Chocolate recipe found here but couldn’t resist doing a strawberry one when I found a Cheesecake pudding at the store. We added a layer of graham cracker crumbs to that one for the Cheesecake Effect. These things are TRIFLES. And I’ve been pronouncing them TR(EYE)FULS. But I think they are actually pronounced TR(UH)FULS. Which makes me think I may have lost whatever cool kitchen points I earned while actually making them. What say you? How do YOU... Read More
The Amazing Human Alarm Clock!
I wake up naturally at 4am. If I don’t? I don’t go to boot camp. Well, let me rephrase that, if I don’t wake up in time for boot camp, I don’t go. I like to be up at 4am (Gives me time to write on this BLAHHHG!) but I’ve slept until 5:07am before and still made it to boot camp. But usually? 4am. I like to tell people this because it get’s a great reaction. “Really? 4am? Naturally? I wish I could do that!” But then I always feel... Read More

This has been a great way for me to keep the summer exciting, even without a vacation planned. Things To Do This Summer Home-made popsicles Draw... Read More
School Daze
I’m feeling a tad better today. It wasn’t so much the forced happy, which I didn’t have to use so much, as it was that I kept tabs on my eating much better. I wrote more in my food journal than just what I was eating…I wrote things like, “Grumpy and Hungry @ 12:42pm.” Then, two hours later, “That passed. Now just grumpy.” Somehow, that helped. At least it kept me from eating non-stop to cope with the bad mood. And since that is... Read More
I have WAAAAY over used the word “funk” here, people.
This smile helps, you know. Man. I’m in a DAMN FUNK. And you know what sucks the most about DAMN FUNKS? Is that they’re cyclical. You can’t get out of them because you aren’t motivated to do anything but BE IN A FUNK. I thought I was just tired. Had a long weekend, with less sleep than like. But last night I got plenty of sleep and I woke up still in my funk. And frustration about being in a funk, keeps me in a funk. And being in a funk makes me grumpy... Read More
