The Most Annoying TV Commercials

January 14, 2008 by Jen

Is it just me or do some ads make you cringe too? I was watching TV the other day (not one of my beloved PVRd shows that I can skip over the ads, unfortunately) and I was stunned into silence by an ad for Wendy's. If you've seen it you'll know the one. It begins with a group of "cannibals" … [Read more...]

Grim, With Pancakes.

January 14, 2008 by Jen

At some point in this still-new year, I fell COMPLETELY BEHIND. How did this happen? I have five million emails lurking, unanswered, in my in-box. I have a laundry room stuffed full of dirty clothing and towels and the other mysterious things that show up in laundry hampers - and REALLY, no one in … [Read more...]

Flipping t hrough the Saturday paper (you must excuse me but I can't remember if it was the National Post or the Globe and Mail this Saturday), I came upon a photograph of a striking, dark-haired woman. The accompanying article told me this was none other than Diablo Cody, the first-time … [Read more...]

Deserving

January 11, 2008 by Jen

I deserve it. That's what I said to myself yesterday: I deserve a treat. It was a really full, intense day. I worked, and then took a big outing to Costco to buy this for my daughters: Long story short: it came in 2 boxes, one of which weighed 198.41 pounds (yes, I checked). It took about 3 … [Read more...]

10 pounds…again.

January 10, 2008 by Jen

Summer 2003 - Kath and I both looking a little plump... Summer 2007 - Fit and at my ideal weight. Feeling great. How many times do I have to do this to myself? I have been up and down with my weight my whole life. I've never been "obese" by definition but have gone up and down as much … [Read more...]

Overcoming Inertia and Rediscovering Food TV

January 9, 2008 by Jen

I don't know what's gotten into me since we got home from Calgary. I'm exhausted - like unusually tired and groggy. Up until today, I haven't been able to motivate myself to do ANYTHING. And it's driving me nuts. Today was a little better: I actually unpacked our … [Read more...]
