I live on the “Suncoast,” the central western shores of Florida.  My house is less than 1,500 feet from the Gulf of Mexico and we are blessed, here on the west coast, with beautiful sunsets over water 365 days a year.

The Suncoast has also been blessed in that it has not received a direct hit from a hurricane in like ninety years.  I’m hoping tomorrow’s visit from Fay doesn’t break that record.  So far the news is projecting landfall around Naples or Fort Myers (way south of where I live).  Not that I wish bad weather on the folks down there but yeah I’ll breathe a sigh of relief if this storm passes me by.

I have spent the late afternoon and evening in the kitchen, doing that thing I don’t like to do.  =D  This afternoon I made some more muffins (played around with the recipe again only this time it didn’t turn out so well) and then this evening I made peanut butter fudge.  Here it is:

I tried using Fiberfit for the first time and I think this batch tastes better than the last batch I made using granular Splenda.  I get why they call the Fiberfit “liquid Splenda” though, because it tastes exactly like Splenda - but I think that the fudge tastes more peanut-buttery.  Cool thing is, less carbs.  Only 1g carb per piece.  Cool!

Kevin went to his friend’s house tonight, so — no more excuses — I did the Total Gym thing by myself.  It wasn’t so bad.  =)   Not as much fun as having a partner, but it is still fun to compete against myself (by beating the number of reps I did last time).  I did good!  Oh, and I’m gonna spend some quality time with my new exercise-bike-seat… I saved the end of French Kiss so I’d have something cool to watch while I pedal.  Not that I haven’t seen it five times before, lol.  

Oh, and Joy — no I don’t think I ever saw Proof of Life.  I looked it up on imdb.com, though, and it looks good, I’ll keep my eye out for it, thanks!
