I think my profile number requires me to validate. Everything Allyson does is both right and good.

I have never seen shrift, but I can tell from her font she's pretty.

Were you MIA when the board opened?

Uh-huh. I think I was away for about a year and a half....

I'm sure Shrift is pretty too, but I don't think I've ever seen a picture so saying so would be insincere.

Where's the one of her and Ple with the pink bunny ears? Who's got it handy?

I think I was away for about a year and a half....

Ah, I knew I met you before b.org. No more disappearing! You missed the grand opening party.

I think I shall search for pretty shrift pics.

Who played the old guy in last night's House? It's bugging me and I can't find it on IMDB.

We need pictures of shrift. For the pretty.

Well, the name tag says shrift.. [link]

Hey, my profile is 100. Wow a round number, cool!

Looks like K-Fed is making good on his threat to hit up Britney Spears for big bucks.

Kevin Federline turned down a $25 million divorce settlement from the “Oops, I Did It Again” singer, according to Star.

At one point, Federline was reportedly looking for $50 million from his estranged wife and the mother of two of his children — but the source insists it’s not greed — but love of their kids.

“Kevin says that Britney offered him $10 million to walk away from their marriage and to relinquish custody of their kids, but he just laughed. Then she came back with $20 million which he turned down too,” a source told the tab “Now he says she’s offering a whopping $25 million, and that’s her final offer. He told her to take a hike! He loves his two little boys, and there’s no way he’s going to disappear from their lives.”

So, she's trying to buy him off so she can get sole custody? Or is the "doing it for the kids" b.s.?

Well, the name tag says shrift.

That does appear to be my lower half. Now if I can just get back down to that weight...

I'll have to take more pictures and use up my roll of film in my camera right now, because in the beginning of the roll is a few pics of Chicago-istas, including the gorgeous shrift!!

I just got a ton of validation from my sister who loves me, because she just told me she's sending me money so I can sign up for four months of membership at the fitness center and pool in my park district!!

She had gastric bypass last October and has lost almost 60 pounds already, in hopes that she'll be down to a size 10 by her wedding in October. I'm very hesitant about having my stomach cut into, even though I'm significantly heavier than she is, so I'm trying to do it on my own with diet and exercise. She's been working out religiously since the operation and wants me to feel as good as she has since she's begun swimming regularly, so she's funding me until the weather gets better and I can use the outdoor pool at my apartment complex. She thought it was just the lap pool, but when I told her that membership included using the fitness center and track, she was really excited for me!

My goal is to lose about 100-130 pounds by the wedding (nine months after I started dieting), which is only a drop in the bucket, but will get me in much better shape than I am now, and I'm hoping to continue for another few years to lose the rest of it!
