So in 2 1/2 weeks I've lost 1/2" off my waist.  And 6 1/2 lbs of boob.  I'm not kidding.  I just weighed myself.  It's pretty thrilling.  I have a torso under there!  I am a whole new bra size...although unfortunately I think it will be even more difficult to find a 32 band size in a D than it was to find a 34 in a DD.  ...Oh, well ( Read more... )

So I ask you, how dumb is it, exactly, to want to purchase a disassembled house that's being stored in two trailers several states away?  Is it unrealistically idealistic, moronic, brilliant or none of the above?  What if it wasn't just ANY house?  What if it was an excellent ( Read more... )

Well, not to start off this entry with pessimistic, bad, sad news, but ( Read more... )

That growl was my stomach you heard.  I have a secret - a secret that I fear, if it escapes, will quash my goal.  Goal being to lose approximately 20 pounds (OK, 15.)  I am and have always been a curvy lady.  I am a black-haired, tattooed Marilyn Monroe in "Some Like It Hot", only more top heavy (!$&%^*@!!!!!) I don't dislike the way I look, but I ( Read more... )

Well, ya know, I really was meaning to update my LJ earlier, but...

*insert excuses for laziness & ADD-ish behavior here*

Seriously, though, I was away for Easter - went to my grandma' as I do every year.  Her house is full of dust and I thought my awful scratchy throat and drippy nose was from that, but it turns out I was just coming down with the ( Read more... )

So this is how you take a shower...ADD style.  Go inattentive type, go ( Read more... )

I just came across a website that had an interesting article (actually, several) about horses, riding and dressage.  If you can get past the author's inflated sense of self-importance, his doomsday outlook on dressage today and his disgust with what he calls "modern" horsemanship, you will find some interesting nuggets of truth buried there.

I have officially found an awesome dressage trainer.  I am quite happy with myself for being so clever as to look up old names from my teenaged hosey past!  I found a colleague of my old trainer from when I had my first horse, and it turns out that she's far, far better than my old trainer ever was.  Cheri, the new person, studies, rides and ( Read more... )

Sad:  Copying the same thing over from day to day, week after week, on your daily to-do list because you keep telling yourself, "I'll do it TOMORROW.  I'll do it if it's WRITTEN DOWN!"

Happy:  Knowing the floors are finally disinfected.

Sad:  The noise your car makes when you're trying to get up to 65 mph but can't because your car is in second gear ( Read more... )

I'm trying so hard to make time to catch up and write and ljust ook up things on the computer.  I don't know wheremy time goes when I get home from work.  When I walk in, it's 6.  Five minutes later, I look at the clock and it's 9pm.  I don't understand it ( Read more... )
