Tonight I want to talk to you about a real first world problem: what to do when your microwave is too small or just too crappy to pop a bag of popcorn correctly. The Man and I own a very small microwave. We bought pretty much the smallest, cheapest one we…

I’m not the world’s biggest “people person,” but being alone all day long is really the pits. Even more pitsville is the fact that when I do interact with other people, it’s often a negative experience. Since I’m 900 miles away from the home office, people almost always forget to…

The official verdict is in – GNC Total Lean Shakes work, especially when combined with the Weight Watchers PointsPlus program. Even though I’ve been slacking off since I finished the 7 Day Fast Loss Kit, have not exercised, and have eaten pretty much what I wanted (within reason), I’ve tried…

My last post on the Faces of Mardi Gras was all about the people and costumes my camera singled out on Mardi Gras Day, 2012. I took more than just those few photos, but wanted to separate others out to explore the theme of interaction. When most people think of…

Have I mentioned how much I despise having a head cold? This post is going to be short, because I’m snotty and coughing and in a pretty lousy mood, and just can’t bring myself to type too much. Bottom line is that it’s the last day of this diet, proper,…
