It’s so funny that I’m posting this now as I just return from my 2 hour workout at the gym. Ok, well, maybe it’s not THAT funny, but it struck me that I’m all about exercise lately. I’m really liking this "new active Roni". ;~P
Side note… what is about a turtleneck that makes people look old? oh wait…. that’s just me, I am getting old. :~P

OK, this is VERY weird for me. As I’m writing this I’m recording a video while reviewing a new camera phone. Nokia sent me one of their phones as a trial so I can record a "Day in the Life" video of myself while I review the video phone. I’ll post more about that later, but I started the recording today and I plan on doing clips up until tomorrow morning. It’s weird but fun as you guys know how much I like to talk. ;~P Honestly, I feel like I’m doing my own reality show, it’s kind of crazy. LOL
Anyway, let’s get to these thoughts! Read the rest of this entry »
When Jordan emailed me and asked if I’d be willing to give Blue Bunny Ice Cream a try I did NOT expect the cornucopia of sweet treats that were delivered to my door step.

Sent in a cooler with dry ice (how cool is that stuff?!?), I received 6 products! Here’s a mini review of each… Read the rest of this entry »

I swear "journey" must be the word used most on my blog. Sometimes I think it’s cheesy but when you really think about it, everything we do in life is a journey, a process. You don’t just wake up one day with a new skill, a new habit or even a new perspective. Every day you learn and grow in the direction you decide to point yourself in. That’s right, YOU decide.

Most of you know my workout history, right? I mention it on my Workout Progress page (which I’m not updating as much as I should). It’s a very summarized version of my personal workout history but if you look at a stream of old posts since starting this blog you’ll get a pretty good picture of my progression these last 3 years.

So. Where do I begin? My weekend was a bit crazy. After my "It’s O.K." Note to Self post I continued to eat, and eat, and EAT. Saturday was even worse with stadium food and then going out to dinner in the city. I’m not sure what was up with me. I just wanted to eat and I used the "I’ll just start again Sunday" mentality to justify all the junk food. Read the rest of this entry »

Plucking another great question from the pool of suggestions this week. This time, it’s one for the maintainers.
A few people had specific questions, so I thought I’d take a stab at them individually and then let other maintainers chime in. Read the rest of this entry »

I have quaker products coming out of my ears from the chicago trip. Before I left they were nice enough to send a box of products for us to try. A few of the things I liked, a few I didn’t and some I haven’t even gotten a chance to eat yet!
This morning the toddler and I finally broke into a box of Quaker Oatmeal Squares
. They sent two flavors, cinnamon (YAY!) and maple (Boo!). Can you tell I don’t like maple favored stuff? ;~) So we broke into the cinnamon.

A few months ago I reviewed Choice Ramen Noodles. I was ecstatic to find a healthier alternative to an old college favorite. I used them to experiment with quick meals like my Quick Ramen Noodle Lunch, Quick Ramen Noodle Lunch II and Ramen Chili. They were a fun pantry item to keep on hand for a fast filling meal in a hurry.
Well I just found out they are discontinuing the product line. Someone sent me an email letting me know and I wrote the company to verify.
This makes me sad and angry! Read the rest of this entry »

What is a Twitter Party you ask? Well…. Read the rest of this entry »
