I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for a while, but couldn’t decide what topic I wanted to focus on. So I figured I’d combine some of the things I love the most — eating, baking, swimming and shopping. And the occasional hot guy photo, of course.

Right now I am on a diet, so I’m doing lots of swimming and not so much baking. But I do have some photos and recipes I can share for those who need a sugar fix in the meantime.

Swimming-wise, I am annoyed because there is a Catch-22 (one of my favorite books, btw) situation going on at the Naval Academy indoor pool — there are approximately 9 billion signs posted saying “no swimming without lifeguards,” and the pool is unlocked… but there aren’t any lifeguards. There won’t be any all summer. So I guess I will be sticking to the Anne Arundel Olympic Swim Center for now, and trying to find out where I can swim in the Chesapeake Bay without getting run over by a boat.
