Web Bullies

First of all, I want to say that I think the Hemophilia of Georgia is a great organiztaion. They help people in Georgia with inherited bleeding disorders- like hemophilia and von Willebrand Disease.

However, I think they should have run their web address through a committee.

www.hog.org.

Come on!


I was just thinking I'd really have to reconsider a job there if my email address was going to be leana@hog.org.

I just don't have a good enough body image to pull that off.

Register soon and often

I'm not sure if you heard, but I'm getting MARRIED!

Weeeee..

Things are going along swimmingly. I'm actually on top of things- sans flowers, which I'm putting off as long as I can, 'cause I hate the idea of spending a ton of money on something that's going to die. What's the point? I could spend the money on booze or food- something that will last years!

Next weekend is our shower. I was checking the guest registry 'cause I got an email from someone asking about a specific item. As I was checking it, someone was also online buying us stuff off it! It was pretty cool seeing items disappear. Of course it wasn't the plasma TV or Bose music system, but it's stuff we need.

Ethan and I had a pretty tough time putting together a gift registry. We both had so much stuff when we moved in together we had a lot of duplications- two crock pots, two microwaves, two sex swings.

Of course, most of the stuff we found on our gift registry was seasonal- all the dishes we picked out are unavailable now. But WTF? When we picked out the dishes, it was all they had. They didn't have "fall dishware." I guess we're SOL on dishes.

But beyond that, everything else is going pretty well. I'm only slightly stressed.

I'm going to do better about posting. I want to document a lot of this fun stuff!

I want to drink your milkshake!

I saw this article about the worst drinks in the United States.

Here's #1.

"The Worst Drink in America
Baskin-Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake
2,310 calories 108 g fat (64 g saturated)266 g


Let's look at America's Worst Drink in numbers:

73: The number of ingredients that go into this milkshake.

66: The number of teaspoons of sugar this drink contains.

11: The number of Heath Bars you would have to eat to equal the number of calories found in one Baskin Robbins Large Heath Bar Shake.

12: The average number of minutes it takes to consume this drink.

240: The number of minutes you'd need to spend on a treadmill, running at a moderate pace, to burn it off."

I think we all know where I'm off to now!
