Cheer Up, Emo Kid.

Wow, I haven't updated in nearly a month. Not exactly blogging like a champ, am I? It's not that I don't have things to talk about - I do, lots of things - it's just that I don't know how to put them into words. There's the weight loss (30 down, 70 to go!), boy drama (don't ask), and all kinds of other things. I'm just not finding words lately ( Read more... )

But hearing someone else's boy drama makes me feel so much better, LJ! ;)
Congrats on the 30 pounds down! That's awesome!!

I forgot to buy peppers.

Sorry, that was totally OT, but it just occurred to me. Peppers - and bananas, too. I was just at the store. Dang.

ANYHOODLE. Thanks for the congrats and the commiseration! See? Boy trouble happens to the best of us. And we NEVER LEARN.

Hooray on 30 pounds! Major accomplishment.

I'm thinking the "our daughter" is a big, stinking tease! I'd love it, but I don't believe it for a minute. Butcher couldn't allow Harry to have any happiness. *gives Butcher the stink eye*

Thanks!

Oh, he allows Harry tons of happiness. True, it's totally intrinsic rather than coming from good things happening to Harry. Harry is what I would call a cheerful realist. He understands and accepts his own imminent death all the freaking time, but he smiles and carries on. I love how cheerful he is.

I think the baby thing is real. I guess we shall see, hmm?

Eh, sometimes you feel like talking, sometimes you don't.

I think 30 lbs is amazing! Way to go! Is it getting any easier? I fell off my exercise kick after getting sick two weeks ago and just started back on this morning. Torture!

Jim Butcher is amazing. I liked Turn Coat a lot too. Harry is just so real, and likeable, and the writing doesn't feel like it's dumbed down at all. I'm first in line for Changes at the library so I'm gloating a bit about that. :)

The diet is getting easier and harder at the same time. Easier in that I am getting more proficient in the kitchen and that my food limitations are forcing me to broaden my horizons to get me a little bit of variety (lamb and duck and pears - oh, my!). Harder in that I AM TOTALLY SICK OF CHICKEN SOUP and it's getting more and more difficult to find large meals I can make ahead to eat at lunch at work all week. I had a cooking disaster last night that left me without any lunches this week, so I'll be fiendishly cooking extra dinners all week to have leftovers the next day. I'm spending so much time in the kitchen now and it's beginning to wear on me ( ... )

Thanks! And 70 more pounds is only a goal. I don't know if I'll be able to get back down to the weight I was in my early 20s, but I'd rather plan for 100 total and fall short by a bit than only plan for 80 total and fall short. Right? :) Plus, I carry weight well. No matter what weight I've been, I've never looked as big as the number would suggest. Every time I've ever gone to the doctor's office and they've weighed me, they've always frowned and thought something was wrong with their scale. So I have a bit more to lose than it would appear.

Yeah - remind me next time we get together to bring the books! You said you read the first three already. Do you want me to skip those? Do you want me to wait until you guys get a place and get settled in?

I really enjoyed seeing "Alice" with you guys! Next time, though, I need to come over on a day when I can hang out afterward. We can go to a coffee shop or something. I hated to run out like that as soon as the movie was over!
