Aw, like the Dude. Possibly not as endearing in real life.

When I was in college, on weekends the cafeteria did brunch instead of breakfast so they only had to serve two meals instead of three, and there was kind of a tradition, especially after a party night, to brunch in pjs and robes. I glommed onto that enthusiastically, to the point where our resident amateur photographer was consistently able to finish off his rolls with a shot of me in a bathrobe. It was a Thing - "Here are all my pictures from the bonfire and, so you know it's the end of the roll, -t in a robe". But that was because I pretty much regarded the whole dorm as my living room, going out in actual public is a whole other level.

I am wearing jeans and a bra. Hair still frizzy, dealing with it. Glasses, no makeup, old t-shirt. I am HOTT. Off to get lunch.

Let me mention that these jeans are a size smaller than the ones I was wearing a month ago, and they're even a little too big. High-five-ing myself.

I am against wearing inside pants outside into the world.

Tom Scola! Poach-master! I time my eggs by a song on iTunes, aiming for something in the 2:40 range. (Ramones are good. "Pinhead" is 2:44.)

I am wearing a cute Liberty of London nightie from Target that I got as a bridal gift 2..3? years ago.

It was too tight when I got it, which made me sad, but now it is lovely and loose.

I went to the doc Monday, and since January 2011, I have lost 52 pounds.

When I go to Target today to get heavy-duty trash bags for back yard clean up, I will get some Ass-Pale to Fair shade of self-tanner. Let the pre- Memorial day de-paleification begin!

N.B. -- I LIKE my pale skin, but I self-tan in the summer; despite SPF 50 sunscreen, I spend time with M at the pool, and my shade of ghostly scares the children. Also, since I've lost the weight, I have some looseish skin in my thighs, and, while mostly I'm all "FUCK IT, I LOOK GREAT BITCHES!" I'd like to have a faux-tan to disguise it a bit.

Go Erin with the weight loss.

I'm wearing outside pants inside. I should fix that.

Laundry continues to tumble along, mail has been dealt with, and pork is smelling wonderful. Next up, clean out the fridge.

If the skies stay clear tonight, I'm going to go to this observatory about 30 minutes south of KC to hear a short program about next month's transit of Venus (on my birthday, yay!) and have a look at the Moon through their telescope.

Cool, dcp! Do you have a smart phone? If you wanna, send me your #, and I can send you pix of the moon from my locale (going to Spring Hill, so should be lovely and without the city lights to get in the way.

Actually, here's my phone, for those who want it, or if anyone else wants pix.

Will self-destruct in a while:redacted

I wear my pajamas to walk the dog in the morning.

I only wear PJ pants to the convenient store at 10 pm in the winter with a ugly parka to get smokes.

We had visitation with mac this morning. 1 hour which was way too short, but sitting at a table in the cafeteria couldn't really be much longer. Still no word on how long he will be in. I will probably get a bunch of stuff done around the house today, because I cannot manage to watch tv or be online for long.

I've already hung 3 pictures in the hall and done a load of laundry. I want to get some of the clutter removed while he is gone. I think a strict very strict routine is in my future and clutter does not help.

Now I am tackling paper around my computer area.
