Laura, I hear ya. I gained back 15 lbs of the weight I lost last year. I feel like a big ginormous whale. Plus, I threw away my old clothes when I lost the weight, so I am down to three pairs of pants. Gotta get back to having less of me. The thing is--I don't think I can do that and still eat Raisinets every day. Oh, the humanity!
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Gronklies all. I made some kick ass gazpacho last night. My first try! But now I'm sad because I just realized if I'm going to make it again at my house I have to buy a blender and a toaster.

sj, that's so frustrating! I'm so sorry you have to deal with all of that.
Well, we're all ready for the baby shower. A couple cool pictures...

Thanks, vw. I can deal with it ok, but I really hate it that TCG has to deal with it.
What are people doing this weekend?
We're headed to a birthday party for a 3 year old and a 4 year old today and then dinner with TCG's dad and stepmom tonight (thankfully, they're very nice). Tomorrow, I think the revised plan is to go to Providence, have lunch somewhere on Federal Hill, shop for some yummy cheese while we're there, and then see a movie a Providence Place that isn't playing around here (Talk to Me).

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
That's a great cake, vw!
Just went back to WeightWatchers for the first time in three weeks. I was up 0.2 lbs., which was less than I expected. Time to get back on it, though. I want to take better care of myself. My plan for when I reach my goal weight is to invest in my first re-enacting costume, because if I do it right, it'll be the most expensive outfit I've ever owned and will give me a wonderful incentive to STAY around that weight. So I talked to the leader after the meeting, and he loves the idea of me showing up as a visitor from ~1812 once I've made it to goal and gotten my outfit made.

My college roommate is stopping here tonight on her way back to Dallas after leaving her daughter at NC State. It seems quite impossible that Meredith could be old enough to go to college.

Yes. And I'm suddenly REALLY nervous.
