I'm not sure why somebody would object to Yo Gabba Gabba. You're either a parent who appreciates the better-than-usual kid's music or you're not watching it.

Or, sometimes you're forced to watch it with an adorable little girl who loves it, and that's worth more than the possible objection.

I was being good, but not so much lately. After I get back from the con, I will start again.

Hey ita (and Suzi, Amy, Cass, and Zenkitty), I sent you pictures of the rest of the Leverage cast.

They have hair too, but it's not the same thing.

Thanks! Maybe this weekend I'll get my photos from the con off my camera and onto Flickr.

I can't do the drastic changes. I can't even start them or maintain them. I may do some caloric dep, but I have to be careful lest I completely lose my emotional balance. Honestly for me, the whole routine has to change.

Luckily for me, stress+ no a/c + pasta becoming a total gastrobomb lead to discovering salads really really work for me. And I liked them. If I didn't, I'd be screwed. As well as meetings on floors that cause me a lot of stairwalking. And..I don't know. I mean, the past year, I've been doing the swim/walk thing, and while that's made me stronger, the weight drop came before that, largely. I've actually gained weight since that, though I've shrunk, but that makes sense (muscle vs fat.)

Difference from 3 or 4 years ago? I'd largely say it was that I like my life now. Before, I was surviving. Whether that has a factor in my physical health, well, someone else can decide. I'm just happy.

I, like Cass, am only dabbling at it right now.

I only just ate the last string cheese from the last time you and Pete were here last night. That's some kind of record!

Okay, it was hiding. Or I'd have eaten it much sooner.

I am still not allowed to buy string cheese except on special occasions and preferably when I will have adult supervision.

I'm ready for this week to be over.

Monday I had a migraine and slept most of the day. Ok, the evening of bridal shopping kinda redeemed the day, but only kinda.

Today I had pre-thyriod medicine exhaustion and felt ill to my stomach, came home midday and slept until 5pm. Then I had the crown pop out. To make up for missing a day and a half of work, I have been pounding on the laptop since I woke up at 5pm. Brain is kaput now.

Tomorrow will be finding a dentist and hopefully getting this fixed easily. And continuing to get caught back up on work, including an early morning conference call.

I'm ready to just sit here and cry.

Gaaaah. I LIKE this album. Why is it so damn difficult to write a review for it?

To write you need a point of view, so it's not enough to just like it. You have to find an angle on it. You can dig into what you like, or you can dig into what they did or tried to do.

Just keep turning it around in your head like a faceted gem until you find the gleam that allows you to say something interesting.

Yes, exactly. And now the review is sent to my beta readers, yay!
