My engagement photos are next week. We're having them done at a pre-Revolutionary War farmhouse, and I'm both stupidly excited and kind of nervous.

Planet Fitness. No other option once you get above a certain weight, since the pre-weighted bars and dumbells only go up to 60lbs. But, it's $20/mo, less than 2 miles from home, and open whenever I want to go, so...

Now, horses I can get behind WAAAAAAY more than running! And Broadway I love! As I love NYC street cart food.

THIS. Oh, could I contribute in this area.

I decreased my drinking when I realized how crappy I felt afterwards. I can do ONE beer, with 87* glasses of water and feel alright, but skip the water or increase the alcohol and my brain's on fire the next day. Totally not worth it. I can't help much for the dependency, since I've never been a daily drinker, but I found…

Confession: I learned that Wawa currently has a Key Lime doughnut. I'm considering going to the gym for the sole purpose of burning 270 calories and stopping at the Wawa across the street to get said 270 calorie doughnut. At least I planned the workout first?

Seconded. Outback is terrible. Texas Roadhouse is alright because CINNAMON HONEY BUTTER. Also, there's one 5 minutes from my house. Outback is like 10. Longhorn is 20. Man, do I live in suburbia, huh?

I can't really help with the anxiety about the needles (I have 7 tattoos - needles are clearly not my issue), but I can make a suggestion as someone from the bloodwork world! Make sure you're hydrated (unless the doc has told you otherwise, of course!). The more hydrated you are, the easier it is to find your veins and the…

How do you feel about avocado? That's pretty calorie-dense. Also going full-fat on all dairy (if you're not) is a really easy way to add calories without too much bulk. Adding protein shakes also works, since that will help you build some muscle, as well as just add general calories, but it won't feel like SO MUCH eating.…

Nope. "Neh-puh."

This made me laugh. Whatever motivation you can get works!

Confession: I have a 10-12 page financial analysis to do as my final assignment in my current class (Finance and Value Creation - yuck) and I'm dreading it. Buuuuuuuuuut, I have very little actual work to do today, so it will at least make me LOOK busy when I have three years of company financial spreadsheets open. ;)

Montco by way of NEPA.

Soooooooooo.......they updated the work network again yesterday because of some bugs from the last time. Guess who has access to the boards again? Confession: Still insanely busy and distracted by school work and trying to get back on track with the gym outside of work, but it's progress towards coming back! :)

Aw. Welcome!

Our closest one used to be a good half hour away, so it was a definite planned trip. Then they built one at our mall in late 2013. I can walk there. It's wonderful and terrible all at once. On the plus side, my cheese plate game has never been so on point. ;)

I had a friend who was vegan for awhile, so I started making brownies with banana for him. I put peanut butter frosting on them and called them Elvis brownies and people went NUTS for them. I have no idea.

To catch up: My favorite pizza is pepperoni and mushrooms, but I also love white pizza, buffalo chicken pizza, plain, and this amazing creation we used to make at Sbarro called Southwest chicken. Really, I just like pizza. Like @spamarie, I'm short (under 5'2") so clothing is a challenge. I'm cheap, so hunt clearance…

The sad part is I'm actually pretty good at it. The assignments are just SO long. Give me a 20 page paper and I can knock it out in a few hours. Tell me to make a balance sheet, income statement, etc. and then explain why I put what where and I'm at it for days.

Holy crap I caught up (in here at least - not so much in the BatCave). I'll be behind again tomorrow. ;) Between being locked out at work and all the accounting homework I have, I'm just so busy! Confession: I really hate accounting.

I don't believe this is possible.

Lion King is amazing! My other half surprised me with tickets for my birthday last year and I loved it!

I'm still here, just super great busy! Giving up all of Saturday and half of Sunday to the Hershey adventure put me behind on school work (which is relative since there are no ACTUAL due dates in a self-paced program...but I'm crazy). I had today off, but after two days of being glued together my better half had to head…

My MOH and I have set a "buy the dress" date for the Satuday of Labor Day weekend. That's only a little over a month away! Mind you, the wedding will still be a year off, but with grad school wrapping up and (hopefully) a job change in the next six months (plus being in a friend's wedding!) I don't want to wait and have it…

Appreciated, since I literally can't. :)

I can't drink chamomile. It literally tastes like flowers.

I just pulled a can out of our case for curiosity's sake and my Zero is also asparatme. From Costco in the good ole U S of A. ;) (I'm less than 20 pages behind! Horray for weekends!)

I'm up to 1342, and I'm going to fall even further behind! We're headed to Hershey Park tomorrow, so I fully expect to walk somewhere between 8-12 miles (we did 10 when we were at CP last fall, and that's a lot more compact) so I'm eating whatever I want! Fact: People in Hershey look at you weird when you turn down…

Sear-up. The "R" goes on the first syllable. ;)

It's not! My grocery store has it as part of its routine stock. (1337. Geek speak.)
