sj, AWWW. I can't wait to meet D's niece - she's not mine, technically, but I'ma kind of pretend like she is.
As any only child the only kids that are truly my niece and nephew are TCG's brother's two children, the rest of the kids I refer to as my nieces and nephews are all honorary. So, so I say go with the pretending. I collect nieces and nephews whenever I can, because I love being an auntie. The adorable little one I was holding today is my step-cousin's baby girl; she's 6 months old and the teeniest sweetest little thing ever.
I did not have pie on Pi day, but I do have a shamrock shake. Although, now that I think about it, I did have pizza for dinner, does that count?
Damn, I didn't have pie, either. Sadness.
I think I am going to get wee LK a book from my childhood.
Strix! Insent via text and email. If you're lurking and don't have spoons, you can just email me back "no spoons."
So, I've been on a weight loss kick ever since I saw myself in some pictures and thought OH MY GOD!!!. One of my big changes has been portion control, so I've been measuring. My general plan is to measure the portions of protein and starch and I can have as much veggies and fruit that I want.
I have found something interesting. As I measure out the appropriate serving, I keep thinking "there's no way that's enough", but it somehow is. I'm not hungry (although I often want more just because I'm a damned good cook.)

My grandfather calls this "Jesus cooking school." As in, when my mom comes to visit, she gives him appropriate portions and he's never hungry; to him it seems like Jesus feeding the masses with the loaves and fishes.
I need to do more mindful eating and wait in between helpings, especially until I get my reflux under control.

My nutritionist wants me to measure things exactly, but I have tried that before and find it makes me resentful and cranky to the point where I overeat more later.
Holy crap. I just ordered my wedding dress.
Big! Blue! Dress!
Yay, Teppy! Was it the one you linked to the other day or a different one?
