Self Denial

I recently got the results back from a blood test I took not long ago. 95% of the results were within normal limits, leaving 5% of the results ripe for improvement. Doing that, of course, is easier said than done. I have plenty of reasons, plenty of motivation and plenty of tools - what I'm short on, I'm afraid to admit, is will power.

Having said that, I give you the following list entitled, "The top 10 foods I should be avoiding". I'm sure there are 90 more, but you and I don't have time.

1. I like to think of them cheesy nuggets of ooey-gooey bliss, Cheese Curds regularly tempt me. Curse you Cheese Curds, curse you for all your curiously deliciousness.
2. Mother's milk, AKA Dr. Pepper. How can I give up something so much a part of me. I might as well give up blinking. Dr., if loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
3. Rice Crispy Treats. Come-on, really. The plate is there and they're only going to go bad unless I eat one 2x2 square every 8.25 minutes. It's simple math really.
4. If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times. How many calories can there be in a donut hole?
5. It's what's for dinner. It's simply spelled MEAT or BURGER or MAN FOOD!
6. Pasta or Pasta or Pasta?
7. Chocolate Chip Cookies. I'm sure it's a law, somewhere, that me must have cookie!
8. Yeah, I've known I shouldn't be eating Eggs for a while now, but every once in a while, I fight the guilt associated with making a nice omelet.
9. It's not my total downfall, unless I'm trying not to have it. Ice Cream. Cone or Dish? Soft serve or hard? Scopped, sandwich or sundae? Doesn't matter really, but if I had my choice, it'd be a bowl full of vanilla with a little bit of chocolate sause, microwaved until creamy.
10. Anything with Reeses in the name is usually just too good to pass up. Why? You've got your chocolate in my peanut butter. No, you've got your peanut butter in my chocolate.

Sappy? Sure. True? I dunno, probably. Worth watching? I think so.

Peaceful Getaway

Back from a peaceful getaway with the little woman to the beautiful Columbia Gorge. On Thursday, we dropped the kids at the inlaws for a fun sleepover and we headed out of town. We stayed at a pretty nice Bed & Breakfast, outside of Hood River, saw familiar and unfamiliar (to us) sites and after some hunting around, visited our area's latest addition from the Netherlands.

Quotes of the trip...

After checking in at our remote B&B - "We're so far out here, they could kill us and no one would ever know."

Answering a call from my wife while seperated at IKEA - Me upon answering, "Help, I'm lost in IKEA!" Her, "I'm... wait, I see you!" Me, "Where am I?"
