Awesome, Kathy!
A literal beaver, Cashmere? That's pretty funny.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Yay Kathy! That's some great progress. And the increased stamina will result in you wanting to do more active things now that you can.

That's a huge difference, Kathy. You're doing so great.

Thanks, everyone! My goal for the next two weeks is to be really good on the diet and exercise, because a friend whose birthday is the day after mine just sent an evite for a celebratory get-together at a restaurant in Evanston, and she mentioned a few of the items on the menu, including lamb chops with couscous. I'm a sucker for good lamb, so that's going to be my birthday splurge (no booze, because that's just empty calories--I'd rather spend my calories on yummy food instead!).
And the increased stamina will result in you wanting to do more active things now that you can.
Actually, I'm definitely planning on going to next year's F2F, no matter where it is, and participating in all the events that I can. What with school, diet, and my sister's wedding this year, I can't swing Atlanta, but next year, I'll be in great shape and ready to party!! And, maybe if I can afford it, I'll see if I can take my first trip to Europe in 2009. I'm a big ole Anglophile and history geek and have always wanted to see Britain and Ireland (for a start!), but never felt fit enough physically or financially to go--I've never even had a passport.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Kathy, you are truly inspiring!
Ima share every tiny milestone with yall, iffn you don't mind. They finally put up the editorial description of my book on Amazon. It's AWESOME.
This is my favorite part:
Allyson Beatrice lives a not-quite-ordinary life. Her job and almost everyone she knows are the result of spending too much time on the Internet talking about vampires, slayers and lesbian witches. And her encounters are even more unusual than you'd imagine.
"Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby? is a hilarious collection of true stories from Allyson's days as one of the Internet's leading cult TV fan gurus...otherwise known as the "vampire people." Her mind-boggling escapades include clandestine campaigns to house famed TV producer/writer/director Joss Whedon's cat, meetings with network executives in dark steakhouses to try to save doomed TV shows and one hastily arranged wedding for two committed Buffy fans.
This part is in bold.
Honest, emotional and side-splittingly snarky, Allyson Beatrice brings a fresh voice to these wild but true stories. Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby? welcomes you to a fun and sometimes bizarre world where stupidity frustrates, wit triumphs and connections are made in most unlikely ways...a world, in fact, not too different from our own.

If I wasn't already sold that phrase would do it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Aww... awesome review/description/blurb/thingie....
