Oh how I miss caffiene

I've gained 5 pounds and have since decided to quit coffee today. I am an absolute JOY to be around right now. Trying to watch my eating and weight, exercise more and drink green tea has done nothing for my personality. I am tired, hungry, feeling gross, sore, and irritable.

Green tea SUCKS! I don't care if gurus, dietitians, health nuts, and Oprah all say it's good for you, it tastes like rotten leaves. I've added sweetener and milk, it still tastes like cud. GROSS!

All I want in the world right now, is to be warm in bed, getting an extra 30 minutes of sleep, a HUGE cup of coffee, and a really fattening bagel smothered in peanut butter and honey. But NOOOO, I'm at work, hungry, FREEZING, tired, and irritable.

Oh, it's officially the first day of fall today, I believe. In honor of the first day of fall, I have put away my flip flops (standard work attire) and put (shudder in horror ) socks and shoes on. My feet feel so confined. If they could talk, they'd be screaming at me to let them free of this multi-layer argyle prison they are currently in.

Today is not a good day.

Highlights

I know, I know, I knnooowwww...it's been ages since last I blogged. I had a few minutes and thought, maybe, just maybe I'd be able to get a few photos and highlights of our trip up.
The following in the sunglasses is Lester. He is a lobster. We bought him on the ferry to Newfoundland. He was our witness at the wedding and traveling companion throughout our trip.

Lester, the Dude, has got his shades on for the one sunny day we had in Newfoundland. He's soaking it up.

Here, me and Lester are enjoying our drinks at the George Street Festival. We went on a pub crawl.

Here Lester is at the beach. It was hard to find a beach with actual sand, but we found one. He's watching the ocean in quiet contemplation missing his friends and family.


Here's Lester witnessing the nuptuals.

And of course, here is me and Lester kayaking at Western Brook Pond. Those fjords in the background are actually taller than the CN Tower in Tornto. It took 2 hours to paddle to them. They look so close but they are soo far away. It was really disorienting. Lester had a hard time with it. He had to hitch a ride on my kayak with me.

Later peeps!
