I know this might be a silly thing to be proud of, but I’m genuinely happy to see that one of my photos has been used (and credited, of course) in an article online. I’ve never seen anyone use one of my photos for anything before, so this makes me incredibly proud!

Now to get a postcard made from my Peggy’s Cove photo…

I think I’m going to print them, though, and frame them. It shows that I’ve made a great deal of improvement in the past few years, I think!

This probably looks like a PPP post, but it’s not. As most of you know, I use Stumbleupon when I’m bored and like to post some of my nifty findings here.

Today, it’s the coolest faucet I think I’ve ever seen. I want one!

From here.

Remove the top of a spigot, create a small-scale canyon, add backlighting and you’ve got ambient water fittings. That’s what Germany’s Hansa is doing with Hansacanyon, by adding LEDs that change color as a function of water temperature so you can see when it’s hot or cold. Also included; precise temperature control, for sinks, baths and showers.

Wow, I can’t say this was expected. As soon as I heard it, I knew what it was, but didn’t expect it! The song itself is fantastic anyway, but the voice/words totally caught me off guard!

I’m pretty much back from my mini-break already. I dunno, maybe I just needed a “me” day. Either way, I think I’m pretty much feeling better.

First of all, I’ll start with a modified version of something that I wrote at one of my SparkPeople teams last night. Only because I’m too lazy to think it all up again, of course!

Hey everyone! I am in such a fantastic mood today. I have a splitting headache right now but even that can’t keep me down! I went grocery shopping with my husband and picked up three fantastic things for me aside from regular food.

- Crest Whitestrips: I decided that I would change my reward for this month to whitening my teeth instead. Hair is after I lose 20 pounds. I’ll get it cut, styled and get new shampoo and styling products. It’s a bigger reward and I can fix my teeth right now!

- Pumpkin Spice Candles: I have been CRAVING these for ages! And now I have some! Yay!

- Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles: I know these aren’t the healthiest snack ever, but I actually have not had these in years. Literally. They don’t usually have this flavour up here in Canada! So when I saw them in the aisle, I was so excited I couldn’t believe it. I bought the baked kind, because I didn’t want to entirely ruin my diet!

Last but not least, I saw spoilers for the Sex and the City movie today. I am SO excited for it. Honestly, I’m in a place in my life, both physically and metaphorically, where I don’t have many friends - so those girls are like my close friends when I watch the show! Okay, so I’m a loser. But you all love me, right?

Anyway, I’m done babbling. I just had to say something before I burst from the happiness!

So yeah, happy times! I’m so excited about the Sex and the City movie that I could just scream! Especially after reading all the spoilers that I read and looking at the current cast list. Excuse me while I go squeal for a while!

Today’s breakfast is a good one, too. Apple & Cinnamon Oatmeal with a cup of Red Rose tea. Yum! I’m feeling pretty icky because of all the exercise I did yesterday and because I think I’m getting a cold, so comfort food is a must!

You: On A Diet rocks. Seriously. I love the scientific approach, and the way the book doesn’t place blame, and the lighthearted humour involved in explaining why it works the way it works. I think this book might actually help me!
