My roommate and I are taking a little weekend road trip to beautiful Temecula, California to visit the wineries.  Because I'm leaving in mid-May and I have been telling her ... http://www.newrachael.com/wine-whine/ toothpastefordinner.com http://www.newrachael.com/diet-time/ Yesterday was a terrible, horrible,  no-good, very bad diet day.

Really?) it all seems too good to ... http://www.newrachael.com/caffeine-you-dirty-whore/ So, you guys aren't going to believe this, but I forgot I had a blog for a while there. Now that I'm back, you should know that I'm writing this in a very sleep-deprived state.  I've been sleeping somewhat regularly, but on an incredibly odd schedule.  I go to bed at ... http://www.newrachael.com/the-science-of-slee/ This is probably one of the funniest things I've seen on YouTube in a while.
