Since Thursday

Since Thursday, I managed to...

1. Go to the Apple store on Boylston St. twice and switch two friends to iPhone in the process

2. Weigh myself for the first time in forever. As expected, the results were not pretty. But good thing....

3. ...it's Day 1 of the 11-day diet! I have about 8 weeks between now and St. Patrick's Day, which means four turns of the diet are available to me (11 days on, 3 days off)

4. Spend $90 at Whole Foods on 13 items.

5. Learn that amidst those 13 items is Whole Foods' freshly ground coffee - their house blend actually - which I discovered tastes awful.

6. Claim victory in a Game Night bout of Apples to Apples

7. Be called hostile

8. Book a hotel and car for the Iceland trip.

9. Read news stories about the Icelandic government falling, "leaving the island nation in political turmoil amid a financial crisis that has pummeled its economy and required an international bailout to keep the country afloat."
