WTF update:

Good afternoon! So, I went to the gym this morning.. I hate the gym, but I guess I need to go (I ain't gett'n any younger). I lost 9 pounds.

There are two things in my diet for the last couple of weeks that I can't seem to get enough of. They are: Watermelon and Dunkin Donuts (DD) Iced-Tea!

First of all, who would have ever thought that I would go to DD twice a day and only get ice-tea (with lemon slices in it)? Let me tell you, DD ice-tea is like... I don't know.. MMMMM MMMM Good! I think Rachel Ray had better watch out, because I may be doing the next DD commercial.

OK, lets talk about Watermelon for a moment. I love watermelon, always have. Summertime and watermelon go hand in hand.
What is up with the cost of watermelon? What happened to getting a watermelon for $3.99? I can't find them for under $8.99 and that's on sale. They are like $10.99 each! It's crazy. I just don't get it. I think I'm more upset about this than I am the gas prices. If anyone knows where I can buy watermelon stock, please let me know.

Alright, I'm going to drink my ice-tea and get back to work.

btw- is it ICED-TEA or ICE-TEA?

Good News, Bad News...

Good Morning! I'm tired and cranking this morning...and coffee just isn't cutting it. I think I need a Dunkin Donuts Ice-Tea. Have you had one yet? MMMMMMMMMM I'm hooked on 'em! So good! Taste like ice-tea Mom used to make. Actually, just thinking about them makes me smile.

Anyway.. I really wanted to go to Ptown this year for BearWeek. I like to look at the bears and cubs and other creatures. Sometimes even petting the friendly ones. But.. work is killing me this week. They say new business is good business, but this week... new business translates to... "Mike not having any fun". So.. that's the bad new.. I'm not going to Ptown. I will miss all of my friends up there! :o(

The good news, (and I've decided it's good news) I will be staying in Jrz! Yippee....! It would have been nicer to live closer to my brother, I was looking forward to that. He'll be here in a couple of weeks for the good old Barrows family reunion. I do love spending time with my family.

Ok... I gotta get back to work.

Kicking my feet up on the West Coast

I'm learning how to relax. Something I admit I'm not that good at.... but I do realize relaxing is very nice! If I could only just lay on the beach for more than 4 minutes (this might be stretching it) without looking at my phone, or wondering what else I could be doing.....

I've spent the last couple of days visiting my friends, T&R. You guys have been the best! They took me to this place where you can actually order drinks in coconuts, watermelons or other fruits...just pour some alcohol and put a straw in it and your good to relax! Why can't life be that easy? I do relax better when I drink. Maybe doing more of that is the key?!? Ya, your right, probably not..but it is fun.

Are there more beautiful people on the west coast? Probably not.. but I have seen more than my share and they seem to wear less clothes than in Jersey. My favorite thing to do is people watch. I can sit all day and watch others.... just not on the beach... why not? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the beach, but I just can't relax on the beach. I even have a hard time reading on the beach.

Yesterday I had two people tell me that I am a very nice person for being from New Jersey. I asked them if they have been to Jersey.. they both said "no"... I said we are all nice... but I'm extra nice. (if you don't already know me.. I'm a great flirt)

I am going home tomorrow and I'm going to try and take more time for the rest of the year to relax. Look for me on the Jersey Shore!
