The only thing we have to fear...

It feels like I haven't had much to blog about. Nothin new. Ate bad on the weekend, like usual - and then worried about the weigh in on Monday night. I am well behaved during the week (well, for at least diet and exercise I am) but I am baaaaddd on the weekends. Not as bad as I used to be, but still bad. I bet I would have lost at least 3 more pounds if I ate better on the weekends. Oh well, at least I am in way better shape then I was 8 weeks ago.

I have another gripe, totally off topic. Listening to the news today, there is a new buzzword floating around that caught my attention and immediately started to annoy me - "Toxic Assets." As in, "the government agreed to purchase some of the toxic assets." Give me a frickin break - cant you just say "bad investments." Some histrionic reporter decided to make the term "bad investments" sound much scarier by turning it into "toxic assets." Whoooo, when you say it like that, it makes it sound so much worse, I'm really scared now. I hate it when the news gets apocolypic - they must think it will sell better if they make it sound worse in this current environment. Like FDR said, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" - you got that right brother.
