{{Cindy}} Forgive me for inserting sound effects in the whitefont tale. I think I may have heard you though.

Hee. I don't blame you. It was just that right awful brand of funny. I was mostly laughing myself, in between eeeks! It was the laugh of an incredulous person saying, "Oh c'mon. THIS is how I'm keeping myself busy 'til my frigging nerve pill kicks in?"

Nora, rock on, you. That's awesome. And you lost it at a really safe, sane rate, which makes it more likely to stay gone. I've lost about that in the time we've been sick, but given that I lost it by not being up to eating much, I don't actually expect it to stay off as my appetite seems to have returned with a vengeance.

Thanks Cindy! I'm psyched and proud of myself. It has distracted from my previously whitefonted problem temporarily.

That's great, Nora!

Ketchup:

Hey, I'm not the one who went impulse shopping at the concert.

No, you're just the one who enabled me. Pot-smoking sucker.

Fay, that tat sounds awesome.

Cindy & vw, good health days to you.

Laura, sucktastic about the vandals/robbers, but yay! on them being caught!

Cashmere, that is SO AWESOME about Hawaii! Have you been before?

Sparky! Hi!

I think I should have taken it as a sign and gone back home.

Yes, yes you should.

Cindy, eeeek!

Nora, that is so awesome. Go you!

So Lee is an enabler. Of impulse shopping. Tattoos. Crack!Fic. Is there anything she won't enable?

And I echo juliana's EEEEEK, Cindy, raising it to ASSCAPS.

Heh. I couldn't find the date of my 1st nutritionist appt. so I asked Tom to look through his emails for it. He found it easily enough - Nov. 14 - but also included my comment on the appointment:

"Back from nutritionist. Blah blah yadda yadda portion size food journal keep track of fats and proteins."

Toddson, if you want to take a trip north-east, Baltimore Tattoo Museum is great!!

Fay, your tattoo sounds beautiful! I wonder though if it will be too detailed to work as a tattoo though? If the lines are too intricate the piece will end up looking muddy. But your artist should be able to tell you if it will work or not. I have tattoos on both my ankles and they did not hurt nearly as much to get as the (bigger & multi-colored) piece on my lower back. fwiw

Nice work, Nora!!! Go team you!!! I've also lost about a pound a week since I started my program of diet and exercise in the first week of Jan. It feels like a safe and sustainable rate for me.

Pot-smoking sucker.

I WAS NOT SMOKING.

Cindy & vw, good health days to you.

Very much this.

YAY Nora.

Is there anything she won't enable?

As soon as I think of it, I'll let you know.

I WAS NOT SMOKING.

She claimed the SAME THING at the Springsteen concert.

Which island?

It'll be the big island. Two of the choices of hotels are on Waikiki beach in Honolulu. I'm going to try to figure out a day trip to Molokai, though. I'm just so stoked, regardless of how I look in a swimsuit.

Cashmere, that is SO AWESOME about Hawaii! Have you been before?

Nope. I've never even made it to the West Coast before (which I know needs to be remedied.)

vw, St. Thomas is nice, too!
