Been a while...
And I don't really have much to talk about, because my brain is so *wibble* about the fact that it's ONLY TEN DAYS! *goes running around the apartment screaming*
Really, I should go running around the apartment _cleaning_. But that would require somewhat coherent thought which my brain just can't seem to manage at the moment. Besides, what kind of Goddess of Procrastination would I be if I started cleaning this far in advance? Honestly! That's what large closets and under-the-bed spaces are for, anyway....
To further my procrastination, I've all but decided to start working on the cute summery dress I've had the pattern and material for since before I got pregnant with Morgan. In fact, I think I've had the fixin's for this dress since shortly after I met Alan, which - for those of you who haven't heard the story (has anyone in the world _not_ heard the story?) - was _four_ years ago. Geez. Too long to let pretty material like that just sit around in a box. And I think him taking me out to the Cheesecake Factory at some point is a very good excuse to dress up.
The other reason why I had let the dream of this dress just sort of languish is that I didn't want to make it until I'd settled back to my normal size. Which I pretty much have now. Been having shakes for breakfast because it's too much effort to actually _make_ anything, and lo and behold, when I went to the doctor's a few weeks ago and they weighed me, I was 135 (pre-preg was 130). Wow. Ten pounds, just *pff*! I hadn't actively been trying or anything, certainly not exercising nor intentionally monitoring my intake. (Yes, I can feel those chiding looks, starfirenz and alphadsnz_fb.) And last night while Morgan and I were up there for dinner, my dad asked me, "Have you been losing weight?" Scales are one thing, me discovering that my old clothes fit again another, but for someone _else_ to actually notice... Now I'm not feeling so bad about being in a swimsuit out on the boats inside of two weeks.
Oh, and WoW? Is eating my brain. World of Warcrack, indeed.
Oooh, and I almost forgot: my shiny new Princess Bride moodtheme. Must post entries so have excuse to use them all.....
