Spring

Is it just me, or is it getting hot around here? No, it's not just me; pretty much everyone agrees that spring has officially sprung!
   And faster than usual. Wasn't it just a week or two ago that I was wearing heavy coats everywhere? And now the ceiling fans are all on, and I'm wearing shorts and a tank top. The daffodils are blooming in our yard, the cherry trees are blooming in Taylor park... the only thing missing is leaves. No leaves on the trees. Sort of weird. Who knows if it's just a heat wave, or if these early high temperatures will set the tone for the rest of the warm months, but either way I'm enjoying it!

Chocolate

Hey, everyone. Just wanted to update you on something that just happened I thought was funny.
   So, everyone knows I'm paleo, (no wheat, no sugar, etc) but every morning I still eat a square of 90% chocolate for my health, and because it tastes good. :) Yesterday for Easter I got a new, fancy 87% chocolate. Now, I'm not picky about percentages health-wise as long as they're above 85%. But this morning I tried this new chocolate instead of my usual chocolate, and HOLY @#*% it was sweet! Not "oh, I eat paleo so I can't have this amount of sugar" sweet, actually "OMG THIS IS SO SWEET I CAN'T EAT IT!" It was 87% dark chocolate, in case you forgot.
   Warning: Paleo life may come with some side effects...
