    Good Girl / Bad Girl

    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.
