For once, I'm happy that the past few weeks have gone by fairly quickly. Why? Selfish reasons, of course. I've been on a very low calorie diet since the later part of August and this Friday, I finally get to switch to regular Atkins - which seems like a foodie vacation after the past few weeks of no … [Read more...] about Diet gripes, freebies, and ComiCon

Pics and contest winners
