I just noticed that on my last tag about weight loss, I misspelled the tag, I put "wieght loss".  It has been corrected ( Read more... )

I am now officially down to my pre-Stephen weight.  I had gained about 35 pounds with him (which is a lot, considering he was born at 36 weeks, 4 pounds 15 ounces) and lost 20 of it, and gained a total of about 30 with Michael, lost all of it, gained 12 back.  I have lost 27.4 pounds to get here ( Read more... )

I get it, you know. It's not about me.  I understand that.  I just need to take a few minutes to explain.

This week has been stressful.  Maggie is out since last friday due to an appendix suddenly going bad and needing to be removed.  So I am covering her, doing her job while she is gone.  And then on Wednesday, my Father-in-Law calls me about 10 a. ( Read more... )

I have to say, our last gaming session was the most fun I've had yet at being a GM.

My intrepid band of heros made it past the Gargoyles.  They ran, and they rolled well.  All except Guy's (Austin) bodyguard.  He rolled two ones on one of his rolls, so said Gargoyle dragged him over the cliff.  Austin thought I was killing his body guard, but ( Read more... )

They have opened up a 4th shift at Sandoz.  (Where Austin works.)

Pros:
1.  Money.  It would be significantly more money.  He would work 36 hours but get paid for 44, the extra 8 ( Read more... )

I used to drink.  A lot.  By "A lot", I mean to excess, and frequently.  It has always seemed to me that there are maybe 5 or 6 types of drunks.  There's the angry drunk.  The happy drunk.  The crying drunk.  The touchy-feely drunk.  The slut drunk.  (Yes, they are different.  The touchy-feely drunk just want to hug everyone.)  The talkative drunk ( Read more... )

Christmas was good.  I enjoyed Christmas.  We went to my sister's house in the mountians on the day of Christmas Eve, and stayed until about lunchtime on the day after Christmas.  We played, we spent time together, it was wonderful

I didn't see my eldest sister much, though.  She stopped by Christmas Eve to pick up her son and left quickly.  That ( Read more... )
