The dairy beverage saga continues

Walking through the grocery store yesterday, buying our usual brand of organic milk, I noticed our lovely friend "Chocolate Dairy Beverage".  I pointed it out to my husband as he hadn't actually paid witness to it, but only heard about it through my research rants.

Normally I just shudder when I see the product on the shelf and carry on with my shopping, but I never noticed the slogan on the carton until now.

Where good things never change

Where good things never change?  I found this rather perplexing and it sent me into a quiet rage.  How does a company have such a slogan when clearly the product they are selling is completely altered? 

I know some folks have received replies from "milk" companies about the change in product, but I have yet to receive one.  I'm assuming that the industry has been inundated with many complaints and questions and can't keep up with it.  My questions are lost in a sea of many. 

February: Week 2

These past few weeks seem so much longer when I post once a week here. Maybe I should post more often to make the weeks go by quicker, but then I feel like my life is rushing by too fast...conundrum!

Here are the photos for week two of February for Project 365.

February: Week 1

I've been keeping myself so busy that I haven't had much time for my blog.  I started P90X on February 1st and it now occupies the time that I would spend here.  That and getting to bed early so I can wake up and hurl my body around for an hour before work.  P90X is TOUGH, but after one week, I've lost 2 lbs and I'm already noticing slight changes in my body besides being sore 24/7.

I've decided for the month of February that all my photos for Project 365 will be Black and White.  Here's the series for the first week this month.

The weekend

Robert and I met our friend Yumiko last night for a few drinks at her office party.  Good food, a fine wine and great conversation!  I should really get out more.  I always find that I have a really good time.  It sure does beat sitting on the couch every Friday night (although I never complain about hanging out in my pajamas, because pajamas are just awesome).

We've made it through the first month of not spending money on take out/ delivery, but did splurge a little on Saturday for Dim Sum.  We felt it was a fair reward for all our hard work this month.  Okay, we are weak, but it was totally worth it.  We've discussed it and feel that an end of month Dim Sum outing will not hurt our budget. 

I am excited to end each month with Dim Sum because it means I get to savour an amazing array of flavours that I crave on a daily basis.  Cha Liu is my weakness, my addiction.  I have a problem, but at least it's a delicious one.

With this last photo, I've officially completed my first month of taking one photo every day.  11 more months to go.  I honestly thought I would bale out on this project, but it's proving to be doable.  Challenging, but doable.

Winter grass

Went for a walk during my break at work today.  It was -21 C with the wind so decided a walk outside was not the best idea.  I decided to go to Metro Hall to walk through the concourse and found these tall grasses at Roy Thompson Hall.  Quite difficult to get a picture of with the high winds, I managed to get a somewhat still shot when the winds died down for only a moment. 

Although the grass was a lovely blonde, I felt a blue filter gave a better feeling for the chilly mood of the day.
