Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013: That Was the Year That Was  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!

Ack!! That sounds horrible! I mean, dark chocolate, yay, but...do you have to eat all soup and yogurt and stuff? That would make me bonkers.

Wait, what? Are you okay? Not to pry, just...poor you! I would go mad.

Well, it was a surprise revelation from my orthodontist yesterday--I thought I was going in for a tightening, and instead she installed hardware behind my front teeth to keep my teeth from closing up, i.e. can't chew *anything*. Surprise! Happy new year! I'm still in the first 24 hour shock of it all. So far I've been able to eat yogurt and mashed potatoes. Pasta was a fail. Gotta break out the blender to puree stuff from now on. Also, I expect to be supremely bitchy by the end of the week.

Oh, Polgara, that sounds miserable.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

As others mentioned elsewhere, I think the only way I would get through that is to use it as a forced get healthier period. Protein smoothies and some detox drinks and even then I would be mad at my dentist.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

See, I think the only way I would get through it is with milkshakes. Lots of milkshakes. And ice cream.

I would want to do msbelle's plan, but I would end up on Dana's.

That's one hell of a bait and switch. I hope you find many delicious, manageable options.

Six months?!! That's awful, Polgara. So sorry.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Polgara, that's awful. What about pastina for pasta? No chewing required.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, good lord, Polgara, what a surprise!
