You're right, I know Wal-Mart has their own brand of the stuff as well, and I like that too. It's the only thing that I can find that has both fizz and sugar and replaces both at the same time, yet doesn't taste horrible.

The best alternative I've found is at Target. They have a sugar free/caffeine free "soda" there that comes in different flavors. It's by the Market Fresh brand and is usually over near the water in Targets. They have Blackberry/Raspberry which is my favorite and they have a peach and a couple of other flavors as well. That's the only thing I've found that I actually want over sodas.

Good luck!

I think it's in short supply here in Va, although I'm not really sure. I'm not getting the seasonal flu or the H1N1, so it doesn't affect me either way.

Awesome. As long as it stays hot I'll be happy. You're a lot further south than I'll be going though. Jacksonville may as well be a whole separate state.

It works in the same way that AC does, but it's not as big(at least from my perspective. That could be totally wrong). I cross post many of the items I post here at Gather(the rules allow that, they do not allow that at AC from my understanding. It has to be original content only posted to AC). While I don't earn all that much there, it's $5 every time you are featured so it does add up.

I've actually never tried yoga. That's one of the reasons I'm looking at joining a gym again, I'd like to try a few of the classes and then stick with one that I like. I think I'd like the yoga that's done in 100 degree rooms (Bikram yoga maybe?). I'm always freezing. :)

That's great! Having the pants fit is always such a mood booster!

That's really cool. I've considered taking a dance class, and that's another reason I've been looking into the gym. When I was in college, I took an abs class and I loved it. (For the record, I couldn't walk for days after the first class without pain), but after a while, my abs rocked.

Have fun with your dance class! That's the best way to exercise, so you can make it fun.

Thanks for responding.

That's what I was thinking as well, and I'm actually Gathering for a treadmill. I actually enjoy running(hence the marathon training to begin with) and I think the elliptical would really help without the impact of the treadmill/street all the time.

Thanks for your comments!

To be honest, I actually haven't been outside yet. That's kinds sad given that it's 1:30pm here. Oh well. I drove about an hour and a half last night to my best friend's houses(where I am now) for the weekend to help her move. While she was at work half a day this morning, I managed to get her entire kitchen and closet packed and ready to go for when she gets home.

I also leave for Florida for 3 weeks on Tuesday, so as soon as I head back home, I need to pack all of my stuff for my trip. :)

Enjoy your weekend!

Wow. You had a great shopping trip at Target!

Great deals at Walgreens too. You also reminded me I need to get pot holders, I'll add that to my list of stuff that I need for my new place.

Florida better be warming up for me. I head to Jacksonville on Tuesday and Gainesville on Wednesday. :)

This is one of the questions I had when I applied for the job I have now(as a buyer for Macy's).

Weaknesses(as they pertained to my job)

1. I do not speak Japanese
2. I do not speak Chinese
3. I need a calculator to do most math problems
4. I do not like restocking merchandise, yet will still do it
5. I do not yet have my MBA(not a requirement for the job though).

Strengths:

1. I do speak 5 languages fluently; English, French, Spanish, Nynorsk and Bokmal and am learning Danish
2. I was a double major in Fashion Merchandising and Marketing and a double minor in French and Spanish.
3. I will be starting my MBA soon(I finally start this January, so I didn't totally lie :) )
4. I graduated with honors and as a result was accepted into your internship which I completed with honors.
5. I make my job fun, regardless of what it is. If I like coming to work, I'll do a better job.

Wow. I can't imagine what those mechanics were thinking...Or maybe I can.

There are not many places that I can recommend without knowing where you live, but there is a non-profit that you can look at that can help you out locally. They will be able to match you up with a barn that works with special needs kids and can help you with travel arrangements for the horses.

www.horseshelp.org

Even if they cannot help you directly, they should be able to give you a list of people close to you that can help you out. Good luck!
