Wear Your Weight
So, on my evening walk tonight, I was headed towards my local Walmart, the entire way there and back, I got nothing back stares, glares and giggles from passing cars.

Lemon cake, muffins, or cookies?
So, in a rush at the store a few days back, I bought lemon cake mix instead of white cake mix.. whoops! I asked a few friends what I could add to it to take away some of the lemoniness (lol) or just add a bit of 'extra' flavor. Blueberries and cranberries seem to be very good options that I may add. I was thinking about…

46lbs to go...halfway there w/pics!!
I started this amazing journey back in April 2010 after years of yo-yo dieting. And like many out there, I wanted a quick fix, couldn't find it, so I gave up and continued my bad habits.

Witty Randomness, add your own phrases and one liners
When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet; and when toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered side down. Therefore, I will strap buttered toast to the back of a cat. When dropped, the two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. I shall beat gravity.
