I Finally Can Tolerate "Skim Milk"

This month I decided to try a "diet" for the first time in my life. Mainly, because I want my body to learn to eat healthier again. I have never liked skim milk on my cereal, actually I never liked it at all, until now. Growing up, it was always 2% or whole.

During college, one of my roomates taught me how to like 1%. She would mix half of her 2% milk with 1%, then eventually, 1% tasted fine. So I have been drinking that for the past few years now.

I wanted to follow this diet to a tee. I wanted to start it a certain day as well. Since I had no milk left in my fridge, I decided to use the dry milk I keep in my cupboard. It tasted absolutely disgusting on my cereal! I wondered how long I could handle this diet that is only supposed to be for two weeks. Determined, I went out and bought some skim milk anyway. The taste was such an improvement over the dry milk, that it hasn't bothered me since!

I think now I shall incorporate skim milk as part of my overall way of eating.

Is the glass half-empty, half-full, or COMPLETELY empty?

Recently I visited an Italian restaurant that served water in tall glasses. At the end of my meal, it appeared that I had some more water left in my glass. I was still thirsty so I decided to finish it off. When I picked up the glass, I realized that there was actually no water in it at all -- just an illusion created by a ridge on the inside. It just struck me funny as I was thinking, “Hmm… this gives new meaning to that old phrase…”

For Better or Worse?

My sister recently lent me her DVDs of "The Butterfly Effect" & "The Prestige." Totally different movies entirely, except for the fact that one small incident can change a lifetime of events. Sometimes I wonder how my life would be different at certain checkpoints of my life if I just did things slightly differently. Would I (and others) be better off? Or would we be for the worse? I guess all we can do is the best that we can with the knowledge that we have, in good faith, and hope it is for the best.
