I'm in Love...

with a girl……well maybe….. but more importantly I am in love with Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. I don’t know if I ever publicly confessed about my love for these delicatessen! So here I go: I love Peanut Butter Cups. The thing is we don’t have those in Holland and so I enjoy them even more when the opportunity arises. Of course a cold glass of milk makes this heavenly piece of junkfood even better and can’t be perfected :D.

Way too Early

So I am not sure what happened but somehow I thought I had an appointment with a client at 9:00 AM this morning. So I set my alarm for 8:00 AM and got up and then I realized something…..my appointment is tomorrow and not today! Ugh!

Motivation...where can I buy that?

So I have been trying to start exercising on a regular basis. So even before the summer started I was determined to start exercising but to be honest I really didn’t do much over the summer, just the occasional tennis (ok maybe I only did that twice but..ya know). So I have a nice iPod nano with music on it…I have some shorts and even bought some jogging pants in case it gets colder outside. So I got everything I need to start running at least twice a week but where can I buy the motivation??

And yes eating a 1 pound burger is definitely an incentive to start running/jogging twice a week :P

1 Pound Club

I made it into the 1 pound club. I successfully ate a 1 pound burger (with bacon) at Fuddruckers this afternoon :). I am not sure if I truly should be proud of my accomplishment because it might just make me look like a pig…..But you only have one life to live and I only have to eat the burger once to get a lifetime membership in the pound club. w00t!

Why I Love Apple

Now I understand Apple is a business company. They want to be profitable and make money. They want you to buy their products! But despite of them being a company I still love them! And here is one of the reasons why: As you all know 61 days ago Apple on June 29th introduced their iPhone. For $600 you could get the 8Gb model iPhone. The early adopters went ahead and cashed out $600 for one. Yesterday Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple) had a big press event and introduced a whole new line of iPods and after that he announced a $200 price drop for the 8GB iPhone.

Now everyone that spend $600 on an iPhone seemed to be upset even though they agreed to spend $600 on it. Now Apple as a company has no obligation to show any sympathy towards those people (Only the people that bought it within the last 14 days are able to get a refund on it). But Steve Jobs himself wrote an open letter here basically saying he will give back a $100 store credit for anyone who bought the 8GB iPhone. Now I understand that people can only use that $100 in the (online) Apple store and people will probably spend more then that but nonetheless Apple is not obligated to give any money back. And do not forget that Leopard is coming out sometime next month and a lot of people are planning to buy that anyway so why not save a $100 on something you were going to buy anyway?

To conclude my long post here. I don’t own an iPhone (yet ;) ) cause 1. I still have a contract with verizon and 2. I didn’t have $600 for an iPhone and I still don’t have $400 for an iPhone :P. But nonetheless, it is still one of the many reasons why I love Apple :).

Blogs and Randomness

I know you gotta regularly update your blog just to keep it interesting. And so once in a while I go to my blog and hit the “write post” button and stare at a blank square box which I can fill with anything I want! So you would think it would be easy to let my mind flow and come up with some creative stuff once in a while. Well you are wrong since sometimes it is hard to put some stuff on the blog since my life isn’t always exciting unless you wanna hear that I worked again today…just like yesterday…and the day before yesterday etc.

Anyway I haven’t really done a lot of things this week that might excite you.But yesterday I did see a friend of mine who I haven’t seen since before the summer so that was really exciting. We went and had a picnic at Timmons park. I brought a blanket and we had a good lunch together :-). It was pretty hot outside but not too bad. A little breeze would’ve been nice but all in all it was a great lunch and it was good to get some updates from her.

Last Saturday I got my car back with a new sports clutch in it. My old clutch was almost a gonner and I got this new clutch installed for a good price so I am back on the road again racing..driving safely!

I am doing great in my devotions and I haven’t felt this happy in a long time :).

Anyway I am going to try to join the 1 pounder club this Sunday afternoon. How do you join the 1 pounder club and how does weighing 1 pound make you healthy you might ask? Well good question. But the 1 pounder club is not a health club! And you probably will gain weight joining this club ;-). So the process of getting into the 1 pounder club is quite easy.

1. You go to Fuddruckers with the C&C group
2. You order a 1 pound hamburger (with optional Bacon, duh!)
3. You sit down and eat the 1 pound hamburger.
4. You joined the club!

So seeing there are only 3 steps to take it should be easy for me to join it right? Well we shall see on Sunday!

So anyway I need to clean up my room sometime….
