By the Sea

It’s very rare that I get down the shore during the summer, and here, the summer hasn’t even started yet, and I’ve been to the boardwalk already. Rachie and Chris had the fabulous idea to visit the aquarium on Saturday. We saw fishes and penguins and seals, alligators, parrots and monkeys. Yes, there were monkeys […]

Crazy Weekend

My weekend was packed, so I’ll try to summarize so this doesn’t become a novel… Friday, I attempted to leave work early to return my rental car, but because of Roy, I left late and I got lost on the way to the rental car place, so I didn’t make it :( I was pretty […]

Anyone Want My Subaru?

Really cheap! You’ll have to have it towed and there’s at least $1500 of repairs that need to be done, but once you fix it up, you can sell it for a nice profit. For those of you who aren’t my facebook or twitter buddies, I was in an accident last week. Some timing, right? […]

My Mommy

As it’s Mother’s Day tomorrow, I thought I’d tell you all a little bit about my mommy. We argue, a lot. As far back as when she used to take me to school in the morning and I couldn’t get her out of bed or I couldn’t find matching socks :P but isn’t that what […]

Current Events

Big weekend. There was the royal wedding and they killed Bin Laden. I give both a resounding, that’s nice. Yeah, prince, princess, love, evil villain is dead, it’s all very storybook happy-ending stuff, but none of it makes a difference in my daily life. I do find two things very disturbing about this Osama stuff. […]

I Hate Sleep

I can control most other aspects of my life, but sleep owns me. It doesn’t matter if I’m tired, completely exhausted, cold, hot, cranky, sick, excited … I sleep, I don’t sleep. And it doesn’t matter what time I go to bed or how tired I am, Mr Sun gently wakes me up, bright and […]

Another Food Post

I really need a new scale, er, or a battery for my current one. I can only weigh myself when I go to my parents’. According to their scale, I’ve lost weight and my clothes seem to agree with that assessment, but now I’m at the most difficult part of any weight loss journey: maintaining. […]

Chocolate For Breakfast

I have my period this week, so I’ve been adding cocoa powder to my breakfast. Last night I created something absolutely delicious and healthy, so I thought I would share. It tasted like creamy chocolate pudding, so yummy. 1/2 a banana two spoonfuls unsweetened apple sauce a spoonful of natural peanut butter a small handful […]

Cranky Lissy

Work, still crazy. The customer for our GUI sent a nasty email yesterday that led to a lecture about preventing something I couldn’t really prevent. :-/ So I was pretty cranky, especially since I thought I was going to miss lunch because of this. I was super hungry and really looking forward to the dessert. […]

Time Management

So the working out in the morning this has been totally awesome so far, except my back cramped up a bit this morning and I’m not sure why. Could be because my workout yesterday was too intense, I was dehydrated or I didn’t warm up enough. Either way, it wasn’t so bad and it feels […]
