"As far as (healthy) eating, either do it, or don't. Same issues repeated over and over is just insanity. We either commit to the endeavor or pay lip-service to it. This is the hardest part of the whole process, and it needs to be practiced more than the actual physical training. It's mind training." ~ Matt Thorne
"The reason that most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want most for what they want at the moment."

I was planning to go to the beach again this weekend, but I'm officially tired. I've slept like the proverbial rock the last three nights and I could have slept in more if my desire to get out of here early this afternoon wasn't stronger. I think the goal will be to sleep a lot this weekend and get some pictching and sorting done at my place along with a little bit of ebay.
Not much to report this afternoon. Making a conscious effort to stay off the computer this weekend and spent today putzing around over at bob's. I'm home briefly to feed the cat and do some things here.
Spent last night working on a necklace from the shells I collected last week. Looks like I need to get a dremel tool so I can make some holes in the shells.
My mother used to collect shells and rocks every time we went somewhere. I think when she sold the last house I finally managed to get her to part with most of them. They had really piled up over the years (to the point where she wasn't even sure where most of them came from).
Bob made some really yummy indian type food last night in the crock pot. It was really good. Curried Lentils, Jeera Pualo (Cumin Rice) and Braised Beef Curry. Unfortunately, it didn't sit all too well with me this morning when we had it for breakfast.
