I'd like the world to know that although I don't love cats - I thought I'd make nice to this one since it was the last time I would ever see him.

Good day to all! I have embarked on a magical journey today into the land of the Special K challenge. After not fitting into my fall pants properly I made a mad dash for the gym and the Special K website. They have challenged me to eat 2 bowls of cereal a day - as meals, lots of fresh fruits and veggies as snacks, and my third meal "regular."

Today is day 1.

I ate:

Vanilla Almond Special K for breakfast with strawberries.
More strawberries as a snack.
Lafleur's for lunch (I took my mom's friend out for her birthday)
Apple juice and cucumber as a snack.
A banana.
Special K for dinner.

I only need to do this for 2 weeks and then apparently 1 pant size will magically disappear. I will keep you posted on my progress and if it works encourage you all to try it.

This morning - before I left for work I found a HUMONGOUS bug in my bathroom. I tried to kill it will a shoe. It would NOT DIE. Eventually it hid in a corner, and there I was choking back the vomit that I was about to spew all over myself... Finally I dustbusted it. I then put the dustbuster in a plastic bag, tied it up and put it in my trunk. I called my Dad "Daddy, I need you to empty my dustbuster when I come for dinner tonight." "Why?" "There's a giant bug - maybe a beetle in it and I won't touch it." "I don't want to touch it!" "DADDY!!!!!" Really - I'd rather throw it out and buy a new one. How did this bug get in my clean house??? EW EW EW EW EW!!! (My dad - wearing rubber gloves - emptied the dusbuster for me - the bug was DEAD)

I'm on chapter 23 of The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies. Still hilarious. Lots more "people" are DEAD. Fantastic.

BTW - my trip to TO was less than exciting after Friday's near arrests. The rest involved sushi, relaxing, a trip to a VERY crowded mall, a bad movie (movie review to follow below), and the LONGEST traffic-filled trip home.

I was able to create a post around a picture - thanks Selin!
