I'm reading the same book, Nora. It's a very interesting read.
Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

It took me a little while to get through the biology talky meat, which was a challenge, but then it was really fascinating.

Do your guys's ratios change much?
Only since childbirth, really. It stayed pretty steady at around .70-.72 for yonks, and is now closer to .75-.77 post-baby.

Oh, yeah. I totally know that buying pants that didn't really fit was stupid. I'm not actually beating myself up about this. I told my doctor yesterday that I just want to do something before it becomes a problem. There are so many weight issues in my family (Type II Diabetes, cholesterol issues, heart problems, blood pressure issues, etc.), and I don't have any of those yet. I'd like to keep it that way. So, I'm trying to be preventative. She thought that was pretty smart.
And, I'm totally getting excited about joining the Y here. They have all new equipment, and tons of great programs. Hopefully something will help.

Oh, and feel better, Nora! Sick is no fun.
Bitches, make me go quilt. I've got to have this quilt done by Sunday, and I haven't even cut the binding fabric yet. This is my LEAST favorite part of quilting, but really, it's not gonna get easier if I keep putting it off.

Hooray for the Y! Except of course, if they only have a maximum of 2 lanes open for laps in the evenings for people who want to swim after work.

How long does this step in the quilting process take?

Oh, that sucks. I'm gonna go visit this one tomorrow. But, it looks like they've got all new equipment, a pool, tons of classes, a massage therapist, etc. I hope it's as good as it sounds.

Thrive to spite them
Nora I have You on a Diet - Mom got one for me and my brother for Xmas. It's a really interesting book and the diet ideas seem very sensible.
Mom and I keep saying that we're going to do the diet together but so far we haven't. But I just saw a picture a co worker took of me a few weeks ago and wow, it was completely unattractive and it may be the motivation I need to get started.

How long does this step in the quilting process take?
Well, it's a four-step process:
1. Cut the fabric (about 20 minutes)
2. Sew the fabric pieces together (about 15 minutes)
3. Sew the binding onto the quilt (about an hour)
4. Hand sew the binding to the other side of the quilt (for eternity--more realistically, probably about 10-15 hours).
I really need to get the first 3 steps done today so I can start the hand sewing while I watch tv tonight.
