Things are going well on Nutrisystem

Down 9 lbs so far, being fairly strict about following their rules. Except still putting cream in my morning coffee, and having low-fat (not non-fat) dressing on my lunch salad (the non-fat dressings at my lunch place are all nasty!) Enjoying the routine, the variety and the simplicity.

More Coffee Needed

This very accurately describes my state of mind at the moment. It's getting to be time for the mid-afternoon Starbucks fix. I keep thinking I'll kick it, but every day--*pow*--the 3pm doldrums set in.

It does seem to be less noticable now that I'm eating very little sugar....the sugar roller coaster effect I think really exacerbates the whole "slump" thing. So hooray for progress.

Still, can't function without caffeine.....must work on that.

Document Review

Paper Stack

After a brief respite from document review in the form of drafting some discovery responses, it looks like it's back to document review for me. Joy.

At least it's less stressful than producing work product; your work product is in the form of little Post-It Flags attached to the important documents. It's quite relaxing.

Just enjoyed this picture, and if you know me, you know this is work related. Sort of.

Stormy Weather

It seems appropriate that today was gloomy and rainy and stormy. There was a bunch of thunder earlier in the day, but I'm not sure it was anything THIS dramatic. Still, always fun to find a great picture on flickr and share it, especially when it helps move Larry Craig off the top of the page.

That's what I get for being topical and then not posting for a week. Yuck.

Barney Frank on the Craig Kerfluffle

"It’s one thing to say that someone can’t be trusted to vote without being corrupt, it’s another to say that he can’t be trusted to go to the bathroom by himself."

--Representative Barney Frank, on why he thinks that embattled Idaho Senator Larry Craig should serve out his term.

From the Schadenfreude Files

Old news by now I guess, but I just love this whole thing with Senator Craig, R-Idaho.

Also, why do the Republican hypocrites involved in these things always look so creepy?

Finished!

Finally finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows tonight. Quite satisfying is all I’ll say. I think she ended the series very well.

Now I should proabably get to bed . . . .

Spa

So last year for my birthday, my lovely parents got me a gift certificate for a day spa, which has spent the past 11 months stuck to my refrigerator.

Well, today's the day! Salt scrub, facial and massage, here I come! Heading off to Dorit Baxter in just a few minutes, to return refreshed and relaxed!
