Long time no post

I suck. I guess that just proves that I am human...right? So my weight is back up to where I started from and I'm feeling like crap again. I guess the time feels right to start all over again. First things first, a fresh look for the ol' blog. That should happen sometime today or tomorrow. Nothing major, I'm thinking of going to a white background, something that looks clean and fresh. We'll see. There are a lot of nice templates out there to choose from. Anyhoo, I'm baaack!
