Full view of Multnomah Falls. This week, my sister came up since she missed my birthday and we decided to do a family BBQ, which actually turned out somewhat decent with only one dramatic altercation. IF you knew my family, you would know that this is a miracle. But, I did cheat by indulging myself in pasta salad, potato salad, a turkey burger, and some good ol’ corn on the cob fresh out of the garden and cooked on the grill! So…

Summer has finally started to emerge here and I must say that working out upstairs in a room without air conditioning is quite dreadful. However, you do sweat more than usual, so I guess that is a plus. This week, I am going to talk more about the Nutrisystem food, in particular what my favorite and least favorite meal currently is.

I had to go out and celebrate the “let’s go out and get drunk day even if you’re not Irish.” Although I am, so it’s more fun for me.
