A Picture Is a Poem Without Words

I have met someone at work who has a LOT of the connections I need for my To Do List. I'm absolutely ecstatic! Next week will involve Fried Green Tomatoes and perhaps a cow or two. We'll see :)


Dreams. Are they psychic awareness? Sometimes I believe so. Everytime I have a question, my dreams have the answer. I need to stop questioning myself.


Kim Kardashian's wedding pictures came out in People today. She was on the cover. Without her groom. My entire office found this as hilarious.

What're You Drinkin?



I'm loving this Pumpkin Iced Coffee thing. Yes, it's still August! I have the hookups.. ;)

But I must say, us northeasters are brainwashed to believe that this is actually GOOD coffee! I really do like the taste.. but the iced coffee is nothing without a flavor shot or two. I don't think Dunkins' quality is as great as we're made to believe. And I think we all know this, too, but they're everywhere we turn -so we just keep buying!

Overall, though, this is way washed out. Completely watered down. The hot coffee is a bit better, but if I buy Iced, I can't go without a flavor.

I must say, there is nothing better than an Iced Latte from a real coffee house.

The Melting Pot

#130

Utterly delicious! And the best three hours that I ever spent on dinner. Four courses. Wisconsin cheese, take-home salad, over done meat due to the level of my intoxication, & already melted-in-your-mouth chocolate. It was everything I knew it would be.... & better.

Thanks, Dave!



... & on to the next! I'm beginning #146 today!

First word: yerk (v.)

This is going to be a long year.

And The Days Go By*



Since I made my 150 Things To Do Before I Die, I've conducted a fair amount of research on how I should go about my list. Everyone always says they will do *this* and *that*- "someday". Well I don't believe in "someday". I believe in ASAP... and now. You can't add to two without one, so I gotta figure out how to achieve these things!

#3 - Toning up

This has been very hard since I realized I still look.... well, not chunky... but not great. Despite this, the effort I have put out has been very rewarding. I'm starting to see a difference in myself. And I also feel better. But I think I might need to push myself a little harder. All in all, things are moving along. Progress is still progress.

#145 & #109


I would like to start saving the $3 a day within a month or so. I would like to find a better salary,though, before I begin this. I can barely make ends meet as it is. I would like to be a bit more comfortable with my bank before I start throwing this into my savings. This is definitely on my Up & Coming Attractions.... especially if I complete #123 (also in the works!)

#46

This is a doozy. Theres no way in hell I would stay in Times Square for New Year's Eve without having a place to stay. Hotel rooms in this vicinity book up about a year in advance for New Years Eve, and its like $400-500/night. I don't want to be there for just one night... that would be a little stressful... and a waste... So I'm thinking that in order for this to take place, I will need about $2000-$3000. I don't want to make any price cuts. When I do it, I'm going to do it right. I'm going to check back in in January of 2012 and see how things look for December of 2013.

#122

I'm very excited about this one! I did some research and found that in order to get in, you have to watch out for casting calls on the official website as well as their twitter and facebook page. During filming, they put out adds that state when they will need prospective dinner guests. Waiting patiently till then*
