Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm all about the semi-homemade food, I don't have time to cook from scratch every night.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Me too, just not Sandra Lee. I have been "preparing" meals long before I could actually cook.

Because books.

Oh yeah! Wow, I had forgotten all about him. Stephen used to watch him religiously.

Sandra Lee makes me want to hurl, but I don't mind Rachael Ray.

move out and draw fire

I miss having the option of "preparing" food. Well, okay, I can get a salad bag, but canned soup would be really nice to have. And making my own chicken broth feels all noble and stuff, but is a pain. I've started using Knorr cubes, although they don't measure out exactly right.

Food -> Diet

As of July 1st I'm on a quest to downsize. Y'all keep me honest. A pound of fat equals 3500 calories, so if I reduce what I eat by 250 calories a day and exercise for 250 calories a day, that's one pound of fat gone per week. So I should be at my target weight by Xmas. Wish me stick-to-it-ma!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

And I have pictures from the 4th of July weekend festivities, including the firebreathers, burlesque show, and the parade on the 4th: [link]

It's not all my pictures, because I didn't have time to load them all last night. So there will be more later. But check them out. Firebreathers! Dancing girls! Parade!

Stick-to-it~ma, Raq!

I joined Weight Watchers online a while ago. I don't think I have really posted about it around here. I am not very good at sticking to it, but I am trying. I want to lose some weight, so that it will hopefully ease some fo the pain I am feeling, especially in my knees. When I was 90 lbs in high school, my orthopedic told me to stay that way if I wanted to continue to walk for a long time. I have no intention of being 90 lbs again, but a little less weight would probably be better.

FWIW, I found that actually going to the meetings was huge in terms of keeping me in line. Not to say the content of the meetings necessarily did anything for me, (we used to weigh in, make and excuse, and, um, go out to the bar as often as not) but just the having to go and face the music.

Thanks, Brenda. I don't think I can handle mettings, and it is cheaper for me to do it this way.
