My sister Shirley did two rounds of IVF and then got pregnant on her own -- can you IMAGINE, twenty grand down the tubes!
Literally.
I have always answered the goals question with some variation on wanting to learn new things and have increasing responsibility. I was once in an interview in which the interviewer asked about 10 questions clearly designed to find out facts about me that you're not allowed to ask for. I finally just said, "Let's get this out of the way. I'm x years old. I'm divorced. I have no children."
Pencilwood gets stuck in your teeth, hon, so don't eat those.
I don't know how you teachers do it. I'm just coaxing a student along one hour a night. Oy. When she needs to be literal, she's abstract. When she needs to think abstractly, she's literal. We do a lot of discussing stuff. I hope I'm not confusing the hell out of her.
I can fit the pita chips in this slot here. Does the hummus go in through the vents on top?
Oh good grief. Peeling a bandaid off? Bruised my skin. Not badly, but ...good grief.
I got another fan letter!
How much do I love that? THIIIIIIIIII...(hours later)...IIIIS MUCH!
Well deserved.
Yay fan letters!
Don't feel too bad sarameg. I get bruises just from looking at myself funny.
paperdol, crash diets are not good. If you go too low on the calorie count, the body goes into emergency mode and lowers metabolism. Bummer. (Mmmmm...hummus good, but baba ganouj better. For me. Aladdin's has the best baba.) Try foods that are low fat but high nutrition--whole grains, legumes, fresh veggies and fruits. You can fill up but not with calorie dense foods. (And remind me, please, to follow my own advice. Here I am sipping wine and eating fresh mozarella. Bad.)
While not excellent at following my own advice, I do have some great recipes.
And mazel tov on the fan letters.
