Food Coma

[FTR: I have a feeling that I'll have more than one occasion to use that title again.  Just sayin']

I did it.

In fact, there was a beautiful melding of the minds where my advisor said "Hey, want to go to Max Lager's for dinner?"  And I said "For their cheesecake?" and we acknowledged the brilliance of the plan, and then all was right with the world.

I just got back from dinner about 15 minutes ago.  And I'm stuffed.  And I'm going to fall asleep like that, even though it's supposedly not good for you.  I'm going to enjoy it.  I hope you enjoy the rest of your night at least half as much.

I've been trying to set my background image for a while now.
Really, probably longer than is necessary.

I'm hoping, posting this photo up where we all can see it, can make it possible.

I took this last summer, while staying for a week at my parents.

I love Pennsylvania.

p.s.- in case anyone cares, those pages up and over there at the right →
actually have content now.
In case you need to know more about me.  I'm sure the suspense is killing you.

p.p.s.- I know its a clover, not a thistle.  But what does a person say about clovers?

Impulse Control ** UPDATE**

No new puppy for me.  He is now 10 weeks old, and he is super (like this one) cute, but he is priced at $600, and that I cannot stomach.  So we'll keep our eyes peeled for another little brother for Duke.  Or we'll forget about it and buy one on impulse in a month or so.  Have to see how it plays out.

*********************************************************************************************************

I want to buy a puppy. It seems like a good day for it. I found a puppy to buy, too. I'm going to name him bandit. Even if its a girl, I'll still name her bandit. Or frog. (Can you tell I just watched Smokey & The Bandit?)

(S)He's the gray one (grey one?) in the bottom corner. If they call me back, I might just do it. Even though I only have 6 days to house break it. Even though it will grow to be 175 lbs +. Even though I'm not sure if I'll be around this summer.

Like the title says, lacking a little impulse control... but enjoying it!

Decisions Update!

So I've not been amazing, but I'd call it above par.  As long as we overlook the excess Perfect Combo that I consumed tonight.  (If you click on the "perfect" part, try to ignore the calorie information on the side.  Its best that way.)

I've yogged (like jogging, with a soft j), exercised my pup, taken care of bid-ness (mmmhmmm) with regards to homework, and cleaned my kitchen.  Alls quiet on the western front.  Until I noticed my spare oohm.  This awkward room I have that isn't an extra bedroom, isn't an office, isn't quite sure what it is.  Except that right now I am quite certain that it is chock-full of cardboard boxes.  I don't know what to do with them.  I'd take them to the recycling center (not that I'm earth conscious, but we have to haul our own garbage) except that the cardboard bin is broken.  So I'm thinking about crafting something out of them.  AFTER I get my homework done and AFTER I take care of my chores and YES I'm 11 years old and hoping for a sweet upgrade in the allowance area.

Any ideas for what to make with bunches and bunches of boxes of different size?  I'd love to hear your ideas!  Its gonna get wild!  I'm thinking some practical (can I make a coffee table out of them?  who says I can't?) things, as well as artsy-fartsy (3-D wall art, possibly spray painted...)
