You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Thanks, Nora. It's just rough, and I think I may be PMSing too, and it's all very "let's crawl in a hole and die, ta ever so."

But I come and read the Buffistas, and you all make me happy, and I had a pretty poinsettia on my desk this morning, so not all is lost!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Heavens, Ailleann, however did you wind up starting a diet mere weeks before Christmas? Brave woman! Best luck with it, stick to your guns.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Several ounces of rootbeer later and I still cannot locate the beeping. It seems to have stopped completely. Must have been my onboard, "caffeine levels dangerously low" alarm.

Because I have no brain in my head. At my last weigh-in, which was depressing, the gym manager was all "Let's do the diet!" and I was all "Whee!" And then after we started I thought, "six weeks?! but that's Christmas... damn!"

I have to read more about the plan (we need a new law to put six more hours in every day), but I think by Christmas time I won't be so restricted. I always eat too much at Christmas anyway, so maybe this will be a good way to keep from packing on more weight.

Aillean, good luck with the diet. I have been trying to eat healthier the last couple of days in the hopes of losing a little weight and getting some energy, and it is hard.

Our wings are not tired.

Yay Aillean for the efforts.

Tough stuff this dieting. I'm in extreme diet mode. As in cleaning type fasting. Only consuming my mixture of water, maple syrup, lemon, and cayenne pepper. Yum. Fortunately I find it tasty. Day 5 now so I am not hungry at all. Lost 8.5 pounds already so that's cool.

I followed SIL's lead and did the fast because I have been having little health annoyances like never ending cough, ear infections, etc. 21 days of cleanse and my body should be happier with me. Of course, in the short run it is unpleasant, as in coughing up most of my lungs, but it has to be done. It has been easier than I expected. I will probably start to break fast the 22nd. It takes a few days so I should be able to actually chew food on Christmas. Whee!

Wow, my complaints have totally fizzled, because I am SO not that hardcore. I will think of you when I need strength, Laura!

I am very impressed with your willpower, Laura.

The status is NOT quo.

My crankypants are so tight they're giving me a wedgie.
