[and yet i really do not want to be at work today.]

[minervacat]

one: i've been riding my bike to campus (six miles round trip, uphill both ways!) almost every day for two months now, and i'd been starting to feel a little discouraged that i wasn't seeing any payoff, either in muscle tone or weight loss. but two things changed my mind this weekend; thing a being that the first words the boy said to me when he

starting to feel a little discouraged that i wasn't seeing any payoff

Yeah. I remember that feeling. Months of working out harder and eating less, and wondering why my stomach wasn't getting any smaller. Then I caught a look in the mirror and said aloud, "WHO STOLE MY ASS!?!?" Because my ass had disappeared.

It sneaks up on you.

But without an ass, Sir Mix A Lot won't sneak up on you.

i still have an ass, but apparently my face is really skinny, and i'm pretty sure i'm losing boob mass. which is disappointing. there's not a lot of boob for me to lose, you know?

that replacements boot is fucking amazing. thank you double.

Isn't it awesome? And despite the fact that I paid $10 for it a music store, I can't complain, because I *never would have known about it otherwise.* Also, I've found out more about it since I sent off the package. To wit:

it is november and i am wearing flip-flops

So was I, until yesterday when the strap broke in a Chinese restaurant. I think it might have been God telling me to go shopping. I think I can live with that.

I see your point, but we're walking around in t-shirts and things like that. I mean, fall is my favorite season, and here, we're completely missing it. It's about 75. I've thought of writing a letter of complaint, but couldn't quite figure out where to send it.

i differentiate summer and fall thusly:

summer = humidity
fall = no humidity

so technically this still counts as fall. plus, um, 75, sunny and clear, with a breeze? pretty much my ideal perfect weather. if i could have this weather year round, i would be the happiest girl ever. so. if this is fall, i'll take it! :)

Re: Weather. Wait until it's January and you haven't seen the sun in two and a half weeks. Oh and in the Spring, we get more rain than Seattle. That's just wrong.

Pretty day though. I'm in a happy fall mood today. *g*

Wait until it's January and you haven't seen the sun in two and a half weeks.

[resmin]

There's no sun in Chicago either?

I'd had a little hand-written note I'd meant to include in the envelope, but sealed the silly thing before putting it in.

It basically said something along the lines of, "Hey, yer loved, feel grand, be good."

well, getting that article in the mail made me giggle, so i think it succeeded, note or no. :)
