My Uncle Armando died tonight. He was very ill and I'm sure is in a much better place. I'll never forget his stories of the Birgin Mary and how he used to drive behicles. His cuban accent was thick and for the first year I couldn't really understand him. Although I was young and didn't know any better. For any diabetics that read this...Please...PLEASE take care of yourself.

Jerry and Lola finally met. The three of us went to the theater and saw King Kong . It was a really good film. I loved that they paid homage to the original movie. I even cried when Kong was dying. I just didn't want the big lug to die. He didn't mean to hurl those cars about. He was just misunderstood. *sigh* Poor Kong...

Vivanno Review

So today while I was waiting for Verizon to waste my time not updating my phone, I headed over to Starbucks to try a Vivanno. It was, okay. I wouldn't get it on a regular basis. If I'm going to pay $4.00+ for a drink I want it to be yummier. The chocolate banana wasn't bad tasting..just not great.

Sure the 21 grams of protein and the 6 grams of fiber make it a great meal alternative (lunch for me today) but the taste/cost wasn't worth it. I'll stick to iced lattes or frappuccinos for a cool refresher from Starbucks.
