Burning the Midnight Oil

on July 23, 2009

I am up (and posting) way later than usual but… drumroll, please… the final draft of my book proposal has been sent to my agent! Woo hoo! It was a lot of hard work, but hopefully she’ll like it… and hopefully some big-wig publisher will like it, too! 🙂

What’s something you’ve always dreamed of accomplishing?

Here are the afternoon and evening eats:

Costco Raisin Bran Organic Cereal + Twitter:

Two juicy apricots:

A stress-induced bar of chocolate. Eaten in rainy traffic — so good.

And dinner was cous-cous with a glob of Oikos yogurt, grilled eggplant, and broc:

Last but not least, here’s a little weiner to wish you GOODNIGHT!

Sorry, but I have the… cutest… dog… on the planet. Seriously. Maggie wins.

quick question – how do you (you personally) calculate calories burned in a run? any tricks? i've googled it, but it seems a bit confusing and inexact. thanks!
