I can't seem to get a picture that really shows how blue the hair is, the camera keeps seeing it as black. oh well, here's a picture that I like because my arms look skinny. Heh, seriously though, the part I hated the most about my body when I was 160 was how chubby my arms were, so I'm happy to see them look good in a picture again.

I broke my routine once again while I was at the library conference for three days. It wasn't as bad as when I visited my family, because this time I didn't have time for snacks and I just had a lot of pasta because that was usually the only vegetarian item on the menu. Plus there was a hottub and pool and I got a bit of exercise just playing ( Read more... )

Been feeling better, I'm on track again, losing again. Even the gym scale (which usually claims I'm heavier than my home scale) is going down, back down to 128, creeeeeping towards 125. I'm gonna be so excited the day I finally see 125 ( Read more... )

Hmm I'm torn between writing this and reading one of my books. I'm already way into The Girls and then a library patron suggested I read "Freakonomics" and at first I just smiled politely and said I would but usually I don't like things people suggest I read and I don't like promising to read things I end up not liking and dropping after the first ( Read more... )

Boyfriend took the cat thing very well, all he said was "we aint keeping 'em" And I said no, I don't really want a ton of cats in this tiny apartment anyway. My friend said she'd take one, and he said we could maybe keep another one if I really want. I made a vet appointment for next tuesday, to see how far along she is. I'm going to a library ( Read more... )

I just realized my kitten is pregnant. I feel so bad!!!! This is totally my fault, I thought cats couldn't get pregnant under a year old, because I grew up with cats and I've seen many many cat births and never had a mother cat that was under a year old. I kept putting off getting my male cat fixed because I thought it wasn't possible for him to ( Read more... )

Two days ago I whipped up a quick cheap costume that actually turned out pretty awesome. Wearing it to work today and for the children's storyhour this evening.

I fucked up on my diet so badly last week, along with skipping the gym while my tattoo healed. I know its just in my head but I feel as fat as I did six months ago when I started going to the gym. My stomach bulges over my jeans again, I can't believe it got that bad in ONE WEEK. I feel so gross, I just want to feel sexy again like I was starting ( Read more... )

It's snowing here now. We closed a few hours early so we could all get home okay. The snow is so pretty but terrifying to drive in. I only got my license last march.
Took some pictures from the library windows while we were waiting to close.

The trip was fun, of course. My nephew was born on Saturday at 4 a.m. He's perfect, of course. :D And a genius. His first name is a religion that I used to be, but his middle name is Alexander and I like that, it's powerful. The boyfriend drove around a lot looking for my sister's wife-beating ex husband but we didn't find him, even though everyone ( Read more... )
