Bored-Ben Blog Breakdown

Been meaning to blog for awhile, but haven't had much time with the combination of a new training release at work and the summer Frisbee season starting up. I'm playing on a Tuesday night league, a Thursday night league, and a club team this year, which practices Wednesdays and Sundays. Throw in some Twins games, BBQs, parties, studying for a LOMA (Life Office Management Association) test, and watching 24 and you can see I've been pretty swamped. And things look to stay busy for awhile too. I'm set to have fun in Milwaukee, Kansas City and Toronto over the next few weeks. Anyway, sorry for lack of blogness. I've wanted to blog about the new Green Day album, 21st Century Breakdown. Unless I have other adventuresome stories to share, that'll probably be what I sit down and write about next... sometime in June.

Chip Day at Last!

I forgot to mention this in the last blog about fitness, but I'm excited that April's over, because that means today is Chip Day!

When I need a snack I generally go for the salty over the sweets. A few months ago I discovered that the only food in my apartment were condiments and 4-6 different bags of chips, all somewhere between half and three-quarters empty. This was approximately right between New Years and Lent, so I decided to make a resolution: Buy only 1 bag of chips per month.

So far I've been good about keeping this goal, even though it usually means I go without potato chips from approximately the 5th to the 30th/31st of the month. Last month it was Cool Ranch Doritos. This month- to be determined. Maybe tortilla chips to get me through Cinco de Mayo. In any case, soon I'll have chips and condiments again, instead of just condiments. It's a big day.

And, you learn something new everyday: March 14th is National Potato Chip Day! That might have to be a 2-bag month.
