Hi new friends!
So, this is me.
I'm still 35 for about 2 more weeks. I've been married 11 years, with my husband for 17. We have officially just passed the "known each other as long as we didn't" moment. We have a beautiful, smart, dramatic, brilliant, bitchy little five year old (see icon), who is so much like me it is frightening sometimes.
I do not write beautifully like most of y'all. My spelling and grammar suck. Sorry. I have a boring job (administrative) and a boring company (we sell steel) and have lots o' time on the internet everyday.
In the last three years I have lost 80 pounds. I'm constantly working on getting a handle on the whole gaining / losing struggle, but this is the longest that I've kept that much weight off. I just ran a 1/2 marathon in Alaska for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in honor of my dad. He died 2 1/2 years ago from complications due to his cancer. His death changed my life. Sometime I'll tell that story.
I mostly write about fitness / weight loss stuff in my journal. Most of my flist writes awesomely about music and televsion and lots of other stuff that I love. I adore you all and those entries. I'm just not as witty. So you just get the jumble of crap that tumbles out of my head.
Can't wait to get to know all my new friends better!
P.S. I ridiculously suck at LJ code. I can't figure it out. I'm really not this stupid!
