Splendad!

About three years ago I stumbled across a little yellow packet that changed my life. Since then I have been a walking advertisement for the artificial sweetener known as Splenda. Their byline is what got me and now keeps me, "It's made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar."

This article joins me in my LOVE for the white powder...Tastes great in coffee...I haven't quite ventured into the baking with it yet, I'll let you know when I do.

The Fahhhhbulous Internet

Eight hours a day I sit at this desk. About 1 hour a day, I actually have to work. Now, don't get me wrong...I am NOT complaining. In fact, I am quite thankful for this stressless job.

I had to be out the other day to take Lina to the Doctor, when I returned the following morning, I had NOTHING in my "In Box". Okay, Okay...I admit, I don't HAVE an "In Box"...or an "Out Box"-- or anyother box for that matter. It was really nice.

BUT, what does one do with 7 hours a day to fill? I have become quite creative. This "blog" was birthed out of my need to contribute to something worthy throughout my day. Well, I've become quite the internet savvy girl. Checkbook balanced, bills paid, gifts bought, goods sold--all ONLINE. Makes the time pass, that's for sure.

I am so excited, today I bought a new Bible. I've been wanting one for some time and this one looks so cool. I can't wait--there is just something about getting a package in the mail.

Have a great night.

Tomorrow it Begins...

A friend and I were talking the other day about our exercise regimes (or lack thereof). We were mentioning that just when you get on a roll of getting in shape...something comes up. A birthday (by the way Happy Birthday to Tonya and Jessica today 7/7), or a big night out, a vacation, something that makes the gym impossible and a Big Mac probable. But what I want to know is why does it always have to be all or nothin'? Feast or Famine?

I can only go so long avoiding the mirrors or facing up to the thing I know I SHOULD be doing. Then one day I see my reflection in a store window, or I am faced with the relationship "conversation" I've been avoiding- and now it's SCREAMING for attention. And then, at that moment, I want to fix it all right then, BAM. All better!

Does anyone else ever feel this way? What is the answer to avoid procrastination? Of course we're all motivated to do the things we WANT to do. But what gets you going on the things that loom over your head with a sense of "Someday it will be urgent and then I'll HAVE to do it."

So I guess my questions are these: What motivates you? and Does LIPO work?
