Way easier to be nice!
I’m laughing at the burger sized piece of cheese. But man, that looks delicious!

Thanks so much for mentioning your 5-4-3-2-1 treadmill routine — I’ve been looking for ways to spice up my treadmill time and this was perfect! I tried it out this morning (only 2x instead of 4x) and it was killer! Just the right amount of toughness…but I survived & felt good afterward! :)

No need to be a wine snob when there are fantastic reasonably priced wines out there. I’m a sucker for the Iowa wines — so far Snus Hill and Jasper Winery are my favorites. I strongly recommend giving them a try.
I’m trying to make the shift to being a more optimistic person. I’ve always considered myself “realistic,” but my friends tell me I’m more on the negative side than positive. At least when it comes to myself. I’m a complete optimist when it comes to those around me. I guess I save all my negativity for me, which is completely wrong.

I have had similar driving experiences recently. Maybe it’s the hint of spring in air making people a tad overly excited? My favorite was the couple who decided to run the stop sign & almost ram into me when I didn’t have one. I saved us both from the accident by hitting my brake and swirving out of the way. They then started to scream at me? I just was like really? Look at the sign. Heed the sign! Getting these things out does make you feel better though, doesn’t it :)

I hate angry drivers and aggressive drivers. It amazes me that people will tailgate, cut others off, etc just to gain a couple of car lengths or minutes. Really, is it worth risking anothers life or your own? I am curious to hear what you think about the movie. I want to watch it, but am squeamish.

OUCH! What a rude person! I’m from Nebraska (hello neighbor!) but live in NYC now. I’d expect to find that behavior here but not in the good ol’ midwest :-)
I consider myself an optimist. I always say, “The glass is never half full: there’s always a little more pinot!” Love love love your blog! It’s one of the ones that inspired me to start mine. I really miss Nebraska and hope to get back there some day. Good to see I can hang on to my passions of writing and health/fitness when I get back (your blog shows me that!)

Chicken looks yummy! I had a similar story today when jogging with my baby. I don’t know how people can be so rude. You look like such a sweetie, how could anyone possibly flip you off?

my mom and i .. are huge fans of egg sandwiches
variations of eggs and cheese on pumpernickel to adding bacon. she is 81 and the cutest thing alive

I literally had the EXACT (exaggerating) same meal for lunch/dinner approximately 4 days ago. Those chili lime burgers are so good! I was pleasantly surprised by how much flavor is packed into those patties, especially with the cool, creamy avocado, and spicy, gooey pepperjack cheese! I had mine on a wheat thin with an Anjou pear to round out the meal! Yum!
And your sky was gorgeous today! I wasn’t in a very good mood today, and forgot to look up… I’ll have to remember to do that more often!

I’m somewhere in between. Some days I’m like, Nothing ever works out for us! and other days I’m cool and relaxed- it all happens in it’s time. BUT if that whole Target-parking-lot-experience had happened to me I would be ranting about it ALL day! I can’t stand it when people are super rude!

I watched 127 hours a few weeks ago, CrAzY story! The movie is kind of weird, wasn’t a huge fan, but the story is good.
Tara @The Game of Life 04.01.2011
I want to see that movie so bad!! Let me know what ya think!!
Liz 04.01.2011
My BF and I just finished watching 127 hours! yes, a little gruesome but still a great, inspiring story! Great minds think alike :)
