Nevermind about the mean girls

I was going to post this morning about the mean girls and then I got to thinkin'. Am I not the one usually telling folks to look at the opposite view? So I'm gonna.

Mean girls grow up to be mean women. 'Nuff said. Of course, I just came to that realization yesterday. I'm a little slow on the uptake somtimes.

On the other hand, yesterday I got my girlfriend back. Not my GIRLFRIEND, but my girlfriend, Zammi. Not that I had really lost her, but I kinda hadn't been keeping up with her like we once did. Back when we were Weight Watcher buddies.

See, several years ago I was floundering on Weight Watchers. I went on the boards and asked for a buddy. I think I came away with 8 women who wanted me. Yeah, they WANTED me. Wanted to be my buddy. Wanted to email and chat and support. They were all gung ho in the beginning. After about a month, Zammi was left. Years later, she's still there. She's one of those people who doesn't drift away too far.

We've kept in touch, although both of us have been floundering with our weight loss. Except she's decided to have a weight loss surgery. She's going through the initial phases and is almost ready for THE DEAL.

Yesterday, I had a hard day. I realized that I'm fat and not changing anything. I'm not getting in any cardio. Not eating right enough. Eventually, I'll be old and fat. I don't want that. I dont' want to watch her get skinny and not be along for the ride.

So I emailed her. Asked her to be mine again. She said YES!!!! I had tears in my eyes I was so happy.

Yesterday was such a great day. I got my girlfriend back!

I see you

Time to delurk. Wasn't Friday "Official Delurking Day?"

Come on. Delurk.

Say something! Anything....

I know you're there. I can see you on the sitemeter. Yeah, I'm nosy like that.

Light my fire...or unlight it

Odd things are happening to me again. Not way odd...just a tad odd.

On Saturday, I was cleaning house and had my new yummy candles lit to make things smell all nice like for when my girl got home. As I was on my way to the shower to get cleaned up, I blew them out. When I got out of the shower, two of them were relit. Yeah, I know. Odd.

It reminded me of a time during my college years when strange things started happening. Same strange things. Candles lighting and going out on their own.

On Sunday, I lit the same ones. Later, two of them were out.

Fuckity fuck. What does it all mean? Why can't the ghosties write me notes. I'm way too simple minded for all of this hinting!

Add 3 oz. of almonds per day....

No, not biscotti. Not roasted. Not dipped. Not encased in snickers love. Just raw.


"Researchers at the City of Hope Medical Center (Duarte, California) studied two groups of overweight people, both on medically supervised low-calorie liquid diets. One group added 3 ounces of almonds to their daily diet, while the other group added the same amount of calories from complex carbs like popcorn and Triscuit crackers. Both groups ate the same number of calories daily, about 1,000. During the 24-week study, the almond-eating group lost more weight even though they ate the same number of calories as the carb group. Same calories, different results."
