For once I don't have anything specific to say, and yet here I am posting an entry. I guess I just feel guilty for NEVER POSTING ANYMORE. Lord, it's not even like I don't have anything to post about. I have a ton of pictures to share from Maine, over a month ago, and from Montreal, over two weeks ago. Maybe I'm super lazy? Maybe I spend enough time in front of a computer at work so I avoid it at home? Who knows, but I've got to be better about it.

RANDOM BULLET TIME!
- My g'rents are here for the week since it's my mom's 50th birthday extravaganza this weekend! I'm really excited for the party, which is CHOCOLATE THEMED. Cue the Death by Chocolate cake a co-worker is making for me (the recipe is a top-secret family recipe so she can't even let me know what the ingredients are, but it's effin' amazing, seriously), emakelle's Frankenstein Dessert of Wonder and Majesty (which I need to start tonight), a chocolate fountain and more. No points counting for me that day!

[Speaking of, if you know where I live and are in the area Saturday afternoon, stop by!]

- I'm very disappointed to discover that the Dunkin' Donuts REDUCED FAT Blueberry Muffin is still 8 points. I don't even want to know how many points are in a normal muffin, and I'm mad at myself because I know better than to believe that a giant muffin is remotely healthy. I had to limit myself to half the muffin, which is totally not satisfying.

- I finally finished my mom's b-day present, which is a beautiful knitted scarf with a leaf pattern. (She doesn't read this, right?) I just need to block it, which I have plenty of time for, her birthday isn't until Friday the 24th. I can't believe I finished it with a whole week to spare! Now I can work on my Market Squares bag without feeling guilty.

- Tracey and Nas got a new puppy and I can't wait to see him tonight! Pictures, I promise.
He deserves his own post, I can tell you that right now.

- I've been really good about going to the YMCA lately. I swim at least two morning before work and I've been going to a weekly step class as well. Tuesday was the first class that clicked for me and I left class energized, rather than wiped out and sore. It's helpful too that I actually work with the instructor here at MM so she encourages me to come each week.

- The cafeteria is playing Elvis all day in honor of the anniversary of his death today. They're also serving a "Remembering Elvis!" style lunch, complete with BBQ and Mac 'n' Cheese. Interesting. I kinda remember seeing an ad with Fluffernutters too, but I could be imagining that one.

- Ugh, so much to say about work but I'll leave it at that.
