@#%*^& Fireworks!!!

OK, so I know it's the 4th of July holiday, but must people be setting off fireworks and firecrackers all damn night? It started Friday night and is still going on tonight. I mean, come on! I understand doing it the 4th, but all weekend? When these pyromaniacs are lighting these things, do you think they are thinking about how wonderful America is and all of the freedoms we are provided in this great nation of ours? I'll give a few the benefit of the doubt, but all of these hoodlum teenagers setting the majority of these are probably not. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...... Maybe I'm just being a fuddy-duddy, but I want my sleep!
[End of fireworks rant]

I am down another 3.4 pounds this week.HOORAY! I made a couple new low carb discoveries this week: Bison burgers and whey protein powder. I am going to make a glowing endorsment of Ted's Montana Grill out in the Hamburg section of Lexington. (Check their site out for other locations) Great service, great prices, great low carb selections. They have this burger called the "Kitchen Sink." It was a bison (or beef, but I chose bison) burger with a fried egg, ham, sauteed onions and mushrooms, and choice of cheese. Talk about LC heaven! And I got grilled asparagus instead of fries- YUM. With the large tub of protein powder I bought, I have concocted a shake that has been holding me over while I'm craving sweets. Nothing fancy, just powder, water, ice, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla DaVinci's SF syrup. Tastes like a milkshake!

Also this week, I got haircut. I really like it. I'll post a pic here:


Happy 4th of July everyone!!! Be safe, and remember the reason we're celebrating!
