All I’ve been doing is eating, eating, eating.
I brought my workout clothes: let me see if I can have someone roll me to the treadmill.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office says the boy’s mother, Mirland Baptiste, may not have known the boy was in the car when she went to get her nails done.”

Summer.
How has three months gone by so quickly?
I have about a month until I’m due back in school for (hopefully) my last semester of classes.

Instapaper:
I’d love to be able to look at other people’s lists and see what articles they’ve been reading or want to read. Perhaps there could even be a review function, so you could write quick snippets about your reading material as you go?
I know it’s ridiculously easy to come up with potentially silly ideas and spout them off if you’re not a developer.
But, I’m...

Secrets.
I believe it was on PostSecret (or perhaps in one of the related books) that I read something I can’t stop thinking about.
A couple—dating, I think—wrote all their secrets on each other’s backs with washable markers. No mirrors around. Safe divulging. Then, after they’d purged their innermost thoughts, they washed their own words away.
