mohawk boy

I read on Yahoo today that a six-year-old boy was suspended from his public school because he showed up with a mohawk. I must have forgot, but isn't this 2008? I didn't realize a mohawk was offensive and outlawed. I think it's pretty cool. I probably wouldn't give my own kid a mohawk, but clearly the parents of this child were perfectly okay with it. Freedom of expression.

Anyway, I thought it was interesting.

missed connection

I'm at the Denver airport, because I missed a connection yesterday by five minutes. Ilove how the next plane couldnt wait for a fewminutes if they knew we were coming. The plane was still there and they refused to do anything. So United is out a couple hundred bucks because they had to put me up in a nice hotel with meals. Oh well. Got a good nights rest. Thanks United.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST SEE. This is from the ELLEN Show where she talks about a new fitness device called THE HAWAII CHAIR. ITS HILARIOUS.

WATCH THE WHOLE THING!

COOL BLOGS

In the new March issue of REAL SIMPLE Magazine, they give a list of great blogs on the Internet. I went through them all and picked out my favorites. ON THE RIGHT you will see a list of all the blogs and their links that I found interesting. Some are really fun and useful.

For those of you not familiar with a blog...it's simple a format that people can post something daily, weekly, etc. So, after you read something, SCROLL DOWN. There is always more.

2008

Things I'm Into THIS YEAR

Flat riding boots over jeans, rain boots, baking, wearing less make-up, eating almonds, looking for ways to make a dollar, not wearing nail polish, cupcakes, planning a vacation, baking bread, chic music, skim milk in my coffee instead of half and half, splenda instead of sweet and low, eating less meat, reading PerezHilton.com, learning about the candidates, Bed, Bath and Beyond and trying to be as healthy as possible...

So far, that's just a few things....i'll update more as time goes on.

who knows what 2008 will bring!!!

fat fat fat

I need to lower my cholesterol. It has always been below 200, but it's starting to creep up and I am freakin' out!

Did a lot of research. Here's some info:

"Meat, fish, poultry, dairy products, and eggs all contain cholesterol, while plant products do not. Choosing lean cuts of meat is not enough; the cholesterol is mainly in the lean portion. Many people are surprised to learn that chicken contains as much cholesterol as beef. Every four-ounce serving of beef or chicken contains 100 milligrams of cholesterol. Most shellfish are very high in cholesterol. Cholesterol in foods raises the cholesterol level in one's blood. The best thing to do is to keep one's fat intake very low and to avoid all animal products."

Also they say to avoid a lot of dairy products and sweets (anything with fat)....basically, everything I like. I am a cheese person. What am I to do?

So, am I supposed to become a vegan and eat no meat and no dairy. That's just not possible. So tonight, I had the healthiest dinner I have ever had. A bowl of steamed peas, a mesclun salad with balsalmic vinegarette, tomatoes and croutons and an apple for dessert. HOW BORING. I feel satisfied right now, but I could not do that ever night. I need meat. We all need meat. I need cheese. I need cream in my coffee. And we all need a little fat too.
