Weight dipped down during the week to more than 20 pounds lost, which was quite exciting. :) But the four-day weekend was not my weight-loss friend, and now I'm back up to only 18 or so pounds lost. *sigh*

And here is a meme I stole:

From Wikipedia:
[Sarah Palin] married her high school boyfriend, Todd Palin, on August 29, 1988.[6] The Palin family lives in Wasilla, about 45 miles (72 km) north of Anchorage. The Palins have two sons (Track, 19, and Trig, four months) and three daughters (Bristol, 17; Willow, 14; and Piper, 7) [ages as of August 2008].[98] Todd Palin has said Track's name came from the interest Sarah's parents had in the sport and the fact that he was born in the sport's season; Bristol was named after Bristol Bay in Alaska, where Todd grew up and where he does commercial fishing; Willow was named after Willow, Alaska; Piper got her name because it is uncommon and "a cool name"; Trig's name is Norse for "strength".[99]

Here's a little LJ meme for you, based on how they chose names.

1)Your first-born will be named after your parents favorite sport: Sport, huh - Fencing Miller? I don't think SAM would be all that happy with the change.

2)Your second-born will be named after a nearby area that you're not from but you like the sound of part of the name, and maybe you have nostalgic memories of said place: Gatlin Miller, I like it. Sounds like we're having another boy though. :)

3)Your third-born will be named after another nearby place, for no reason other than you already have two children and don't have time to put much thought into another name: Farragut Miller, very martial. :) Another boy!

4)Your fourth gets a "cool" name: We'll go with Sapphire Miller, just to get a girl. :)

5)Your fifth gets something mythological, possibly straight out of Lord of the Rings: Ooh, I think we're going to have to go with Pandora here. :)

Note to the overly serious: No, I don't think a politician should be judged based on what she named her children. But mocking the strange names that people choose for their offspring is always fair game, even if they are running for VP. :)

Back to mowing. *shakes a fist*

memes, weight
