Fair Time! This Could Get Ugly...
Well, we're taking the kids to the State Fair tonight. To say I'm nervous is an understatement. Must stay away from the deep fried twinkies/snickers/butter/kool-aid and all other awesome fried fatty foods. I'm even going to try and avoid the most-delicious lemon shake-ups.

My coworkers have noticed my weight dropping over the last couple months and started asking me what "diet" I was on.
