So a Bad Ass Coffee just opened up near my house, and I tried it for the first time today. I have to say, based on today’s outing, that I will be switching my allegiance from one of my many local Starbucks to Bad Ass. Not only is the name of the business great (and irritates all the crazy social conservatives around here, which pleases me to no end), but the coffee was delicious, and the menu there seems far more extensive than Starbucks. In the interest of full disclosure, I ordered a Vanilla Nut sugar-free frozen blended coffee today. If you have a Bad Ass near your house, what are you waiting for? For serious, y’all, it’s good. Go buy some!

So I was eating at a local breakfast place this morning. Awesome food…eggs, biscuit, coffee — delicious. As I was eating, I thought to myself that every time I eat a nice big breakfast at this place (as opposed to my usual couple pieces of toast in the morning), I am never hungry for lunch, so I go all day until dinner time without any cravings or hunger pangs. As a result, I’m pretty sure that I eat less overall during the day. Like many (most?) people, I’m trying to lose a few pounds, and my anecdotal evidence seems to suggest that a big breakfast is one (delicious!) way to go to lessen my overall food intake.
Plus, as a bonus, I found a news story that supports my big breakfast observations –
Vindication! Now science justifies my giant breakfast (at least until the next study comes out that contradicts these findings). Really the only problem I see here is that I’m too lazy to fix myself a huge breakfast every day. If they made a pill that combatted laziness, I’d have it made.

Why YMCA? Why, when I love your shiny elliptical machines, multiple aerobics classes, and new facilities, must you play not only Christian pop music over the loudspeaker, but Christian pop music with a country twang, no less? That is an unholy marriage of my two least favorite music genres, and last night, it made me want to run screaming from the premises before I even started my aerobics class. Please do not do that again. Thank you.
Why local library? Why do you send me a bill for a 60 cent overdue charge from five years ago? Didn’t the postage/paper/labor that you put into sending the bill exceed the cost of the 60 cents I owe? That doesn’t make any sense.

So, I’m not yet sure what this blog will actually “be about,” but I’m going to give it a go anyway. I’ll probably post on things I enjoy, things that annoy, and news I find interesting.
For my very first post then, we’ll start off on a positive note. Here is something I enjoy — my three animals engaging in their favorite pastimes –
The cat – Favorite activity: a little something we call “wall-sitting.”
Next, Dog the first — favorite activity: sleeping on the couch/trying to ignore the cat
Finally, Dog the second (also known as the “purple-booted one”) –
Favorite activity: Actual mischief/Thinking about mischief/Bothering the cat
OK, I swear this blog will not just be about my animals, but I wanted to start off with something I enjoy, so there you go…
