1. For any of you who have kicked the can recently, as I (thought) I had, please be aware that Diet Sunkist, while it seems sunny and harmless, is actually caffeinated. Here's to kicking the can, AGAIN. Who knew?! (I should have listened to my sixth grade self and stuck with Sprite, I know.)
2. I've been doing some research on Japan. The best news I've discovered - the subway has signs and maps in English. Good thing, as my Japanese is limited to phrases like: "Ramen (noodles)," "Curry," and "Coca Cola." (It's been my experience that the latter of my Japanese phrases is incorporated into the vernacular of any given country. Too bad that given my first item of business, my latter Japanese phrase will be virtually useless.) (And those men with the white gloves are for real. Don't be jealous.)
3. To watch General Conference this year, we jimmy rigged our TV to display the contents of our computer monitor. Not only was it an ingenious idea, but it also prevented me from surfing the Web during the addresses. :) We were pretty proud. And then we realized that the local cable company actually carried conference this year, making all our smarts pretty much nil and void. However, we now know that we can check our email in high def. Take that Time Warner Cable.
4. This week is Idol Gives Back, which means no one is going home. So for those of you stressed out about Kristy Lee Cook's eminent departure, you are safe for one week. Instead, you get to enjoy a charity event, sponsored by a bevy of celebrities. (I know, it's really not as fun. Maybe they should send one of the celebrities home. "Brad Pitt, you are in the bottom three. Take a seat on the stools.")
5. I'm totally over my allergies. Well, mentally. I've decided that although my ears, nose and throat may think otherwise, I'm totally over them, and I won't mention them again. I'm moving on.

And I'm taking my non caffeinated WATER with me. (It's the only safe beverage, well, for the most part.)
