Quick gain is a quick loss

September 26th, 2010 · Comments Off

or something like that. One of many good points that my weight watchers leader often makes.

Don’t Eat This Book

May 15th, 2010 · Comments Off

WOW. That’s about what I have to say about this book. I just finished and reviewed it over on Library Thing.
