Ahoy! I'm Justin. I'm the web guy here. I may be making intermittent posts outside of '2weeks' to announce new features and to give updates on how 2weeker is moving. You can always check out the changelog to see all the detailed (and generally less exciting) things about 2weeker as it develops.

So nothing but water for 2 weeks, eh? Unlike most people here I don't drink coffee. I stopped drinking soda a couple years ago (Although I have been breaking it a little bit since getting married in November) and I really only drink tea outside of water anyway. But then I started thinking; there is something I've drank practically every single day for as long as I remember. That thing is milk. I can't remember a breakfast outside of 1 or 2 times on a vacation where milk wasn't involved in some form (usually cereal).

This may be a little harder than I thought...!

My biggest fear about doing 2weeker is that I'll totally forget on the first day and down some coffee.

I'm no caffeine addict, but as I think about it, coffee is a big part of my life. Every morning when I get into the office, I make a cup while Outlook is loading my emails. I often make plans with friends by uttering the perennial phrase, "want to get coffee?" And the beginning of spring (just about now) is heralded not just with frolics among newly sprouted flowers, but with the first cup of iced coffee.

Looks like I'll have to make some new rituals for myself, and possibly stick reminder post-it notes on various surfaces of my office. All in the name of science....

I'm downing my third caffeinated drink of the day.

It's a cup of coffee, and it's left over from the pot someone in my office made late this morning. I don't even really care that it's only slightly warm. My body, warned by my brain that we will be giving up coffee for the next two weeks, has started forcing caffeine into itself. Coffee. Diet Coke. Coffee. Lather, rinse, repeat. I guess it could be much worse, considering it's almost 4pm.

My impending caffeine withdrawal is made so much worse by the fact that I was the one who passed along this 2weeker suggestion, given to me by a friend. Within several seconds of this, I realized that coffee =/= water and I = moron.

I'm Molissa. I graduated from college in 2006 and have since been "finding myself" through a variety of personal adventures on both ends of the nefarious spectrum. Between my current job in education program analysis and my future plans to attend law school, I have come to believe the following things:

• Problem-solving justice is the best kind of justice.
• Texas Hold'Em is fun, challenging, and boasts an excellent gender ratio.
• I buy too much from threadless.com
• I easily tire of bullet points.

D.C. is home for now, although I never seem to stay in one place for very long. Eventually, I exhaust the number of JDate.com dinners available in a given area and, like a fat, overgrazing, yet irresistably charming cow, I am forced to move on to greener pastures.

In the meantime, I'm excited to be contributing to this blog. It makes me feel important. My last blog - an effort to chronicle the process of training for my first road race (a ten miler!) was abortive, although my effort to brag as much as possible about my new ability to run ten miles was not. I'm running ten miles this Sunday, btw.

Also, here is a video of an adorable three year old.
