Spa Red and hello kitty calendar - 2 of my favorite things

“PLE yee EE ease”
So glad I have my iPod. Whenever I start to dream about soft, expensive sheets and a comfortable bed, I have Bono’s voice bellowing, overtaking my brain and steering it away from languishing desires.
“PLE yee EE ease.”
“Get up off your knees, now. PLE yee EE ease.”
I love Bono.

The austerity program is working fitness-wise. My diet consists of rye crackers, extra sharp cheddar cheese, black currant yoghurt (with probiotics!), red and green grapes, coffee, apples and Belgian sparkling water. Combined with my refusal to pay $3 for a bus ride, my pants are already baggy and my cheekbones and dimples are becoming more defined. I notice I smile more.
