Not much of anything...

If I wait until I have something truly gripping to write about - there would be very few posts on here. So, here's a general update.

Still doing well on the cokes. I haven't exactly stuck to no cokes on weekdays, but I have stuck to 2/week. So that's a big accomplishment. I am drinking a lot of tea - so now I realize I need to limit that to one glass/large cup per day...I'm wondering how much caffeine it has in it and if I'm getting more caffeine with all the tea. It's hard to find a definitive answer on that. I know I'm getting less sugar, so that should be good.

So after that very interesting paragraph - let's move on. I was home alone this past weekend. B went to a bachelor party in Vegas. It's so funny how I approach a weekend alone. I didn't want to clean the whole weekend...so I nixed that. Friday night I was thrilled (I'm not being sarcastic) to throw a Totino's frozen pizza in the oven, pop in Bridget Jones' Diary and drink some wine. This night was awesome...I LOVE that movie and hadn't seen it in so long! Verdict? Still love it.

Saturday I was productive and went to yoga, the dog park with Ellie and shopping...then out to dinner with friends.

Anyway - I ended up at home a lot in an effort to save $ and also, in part, because I am extremely lazy. It was a nice weekend and in anticipation of the Mad Men Season 5 premiere, I re-watched some old Mad Men episodes. Bran and I recently watched all 4 seasons of Mad Men via Netflix. It was addicting and awesome. Re-watching some of the episodes just reminded me how great this show is. Jon Hamm (Don Draper) is really a great actor, and I LOVE his relationship with Elizabeth Olson (Peggy). It's one of my favorite, all-time tv relationships. And for those that don't watch - it's not a romantic one. The show prides itself on being historically accurate and it's really neat to learn more about the 60s. When you first start watching, it's a little unsettling to see how the secretaries are treated, and the work world, in general pre EEOC, pre Civil Rights Act, pre sexual harassment. Wow. It definitely goes to show that if Mad Men accurately portrays the work world - those laws and agencies were SORELY needed!

So I guess I'll close this random post. I did enjoy all my alone time this weekend. I love Mad Men. And I've successfully laid off the cokes. I could've just typed those 3 sentences and it might've been just as interesting.
