St. Paddy's
I gotta say, it's been an uneventful St. Paddy's. And I am totally cool with that.
Plus, I think I may have lost some more weight. Those new jeans I got over winter break were tight when I got them. Now they're loose. The ones Holly gave me for my birthday aren't actually loose yet, but they're fitting more loosely than they were. But they were tighter than the Germany pants, so I'm not discouraged. After all, there are only two reasons why my new pants - the skinny jeans - would be looser now:
1. I have stretched them out, OR
2. I have shrunk some.
As I have to go to the doctor's office to get my metformin renewed (or switched for something that works better) I will soon find out just what I weigh now. I'm hoping for 115 kilos, or about 250 lbs, as that would leave me having lost about 35 lbs, which would make me feel very accomplished, indeed.
I also applied for the job at ECU, and hope very much that I get it. So feel free to send good vibes with my name on them over to the ECU hiring people, as I'm not ashamed to say that I can use all the help I can get. My track record with attaining employment, as we all know, isn't exactly great. In fact it sucks. But thanks to the help of Beth, Lilit, and Kelley, I have (for possibly the first time in my job-seeking life) a cover letter that I'm confident about, and I feel like I'm actually a good contender for this job I've applied for. Plus, I've prayed on it. I pray a lot more as an adult than I ever did as a youngun.
Which reminds me that I'm supposed to introduce the topic at Reason & Reality tomorrow, as I'm the one who came up with it. Joy. It's Defining Feminism and its Relevance to Modern Religion. This could get interesting.
Also, I think my man-radar has turned on again. I'm pretty sure the last time I spent so much time noticing the opposite sex was when I was 19. Yes, I am pathetic, and I freely admit it. But I just feel... interesting lately. And interested. Ish. Interested in looking, at least. Hey, progress is progress. I'll take it.
