[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.

Kitty~ma, Raq.

I have now lost 2 1/2 stone (35lb) since January. I am made of awesome

Woohoo!

I've been losing no weight lately, even though I've been eating really well and exercising a decent amount. It's very annoying. I think I'm blaming one of my medications for this. I'm going to talk to my doctor about it.

Okay, I'm buying my lifetime Tivo and the woman is a complete ditz. She keeps saying "awesome!" I am currently on hold because she has to consult with a supervisor because the computer keeps saying "District of Columbia" instead of "Washington DC" ARGH.

So glad next weekend is a 3-day. I am over working (and school, for that matter).

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

I am dieting and working out and I AM losing weight. Happy to say I have lost 9 lbs so far--almost halfway to my goal!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Yay for the intentional, healthy weight-losing!

Ack, Kristin, sorry about the wildlife encounter, and good luck dealing with the aftermath. That's...tough. So far we've been skunk-lucky, though opossums abound here. They're pretty stinky, but skunks have the first-place stinky award pretty well sewn up.

Yay for all the healthy Bitches!

My sister tells me that in the Topanga Canyon Banjo & Fiddle contest, my nephew placed 3rd in the advanced fiddle division, my niece placed 4th in the intermediate fiddle division, and the family band came in 2nd to a family that homeschools and travels around in an RV from Bluegrass event to Bluegrass event full-time. They're pleased.

When are you back on roller skates?

(I like to imagine you in sassy satin shorts swooping around the rink.)

I'm watching Clean House. The homeowner on this episode seems to have real psychological problems with stuff -- like, she doesn't want them to sell anything because she just can bear to let any of it out of her sight. Usually on this show, people have a ridiculous amount of stuff, but they can admit that and they want help with figuring out how to get rid of it. This woman is hugging a pillow of an old ratty couch because she "loves" it and doesn't want to sell it. It's really uncomfortable to watch.

You know, my mom was like that. Seriously. We spent the last ten years ferreting stuff out of the house when she wasn't looking, and if she didn't see it leave she never missed it.

DH's mom ran as an 18-year-old bride from the communists straight into Hitler's Germany, spent the war and gave birth to DH in a Displaced Persons Camp, emigrated to the US with a husband, a four-year-old, one suitcase, a wooden box of handmade cobbler's tools and no English. Her house has always been preternaturally neat and clean, almost Spartan in decoration and furniture alignment. But not static. And as soon as something new comes into the house, something old goes to a neighbor, a co-worker, or a charity.

I'd think because of her background she'd cling to possessions, but she emphatically does not. I guess giving things up voluntarily before they can be taken from her is her form of control.

In the Fall, probably. Depends on money. I can't be both in a gym and pay the rink fees, and I really needed the weight-training and pilates classes and all that gym stuff.
