I unsubscribed to almost everything coming to my work in-box. I feel clean and pure and good.
I felt virtuous and good yesterday, too, shoveling the sidewalks and driveway in the pre-dawn light. The first time. The second time I shoveled, I didn’t like it so much. And this morning? For a third time in two days? Pffft, forget it. Should have, since we’re supposed to get a little more, and there’s no warm-up in sight, so it just freezes and hardens to a permacrust that’s impossible to melt.
The extension cords for my Christmas lights (which I virtuously attempted to take down remove yesterday) are partially encased in such a permacrust. Three inches of solid ice formed, at some point, in the garden area by my front porch. I can slide the cords back and forth in the ice, like a pierced ear, but the little tunnels are too small for the pluggy part. I dumped a bunch of salt on the portion over the cord and hoped for the best.
Net weight loss for all of 2008: 5 pounds. That’s plumb lousy. I may have a wedding dress in my immediate future, and I don’t want to wear one from the Plus Size department, damnit.
Hmm, let’s see if we can do some root-cause analysis…
1- I like to eat
2- I like to drink
3- I don’t like to exercise
Maybe there is a computer program somewhere to help with this advanced analysis….hmm

I gained 5 lbs. in 2008. I'll need to have a professional analysis done, but I think it may have something to do with Starbucks maple nut scones.
Alright damnit! You really need to call me or send me any email or SOMETHING! Explain woman!
Oh yea and davids bridal and Maggie Sorretto have great plus size wedding dresses!
I like your root-cause analysis there. Very similar to my own self-diagnosis. It's just wrong that Cheetos taste so good...particulary when you're stress-eating. Stressful days just don't call for jicama sticks. Although I"m reluctant to part with the money, I do have to resume the personal training at the gym. Not only did I get visual results, the prepaid costs were extra motivation to actually show up three times a week.
