For those of you that don't know yet, I have joined Jenny Craig. Currently, I am on second day of the diet. Basically it is a program that gives you the food and tells you when to eat it. I am hoping that it is "Jessica proof" as someone described it. Really, it is simple and I hope that it works. However, I am noticing that I miss one thing...sugar. Sugar that is present in drinks more than anything. Everything I am allowed to drink (which trust me..I have a variety) leaves that funky sugar substitute after taste. What I would give for one good drink of coke...sigh. Oh well, I want to make this work, so I am using all my will power to not cheat. We'll see...I will keep you posted on the weekly progress.

I am sitting here tonight trying to make myself work on these stinkin' papers. I think part of the difficulty is I hate research papers...it takes so much time to quote every source and look down constantly. Yes, I am aware this is a good portion of the dissertation...so let's keep that hush, hush.:-) I will attempt to motivate myself to write a bit, even if it's a little.
