la la la no news la la
This will be a post about a few things that are completely not house-related because there is nothing house-related to discuss. Me tired of waiting? nah. Take your time, universe. yeah.
ha.
I am doing another DPChallenge side thing (like the 30-day self-portrait thing). This one is themed "50 days in the life of ______", except instead of the blank you would, you know, put my name. (Oh, man, why do I ever write in this thing in the wee small hours? I always, always regret it later...). I have not set up a photo blog for this one (although who knows why not, because a girl just can't have too many photo blogs). I am instead doing the sort-of-blogging at DPChallenge. I post the pictures at flickr, but don't blog there. Um. I think, if you cared, you could go... um, let me find it (cut to cartoon image of person digging through trunk, throwing out a series of humorous objects over shoulders)... here, and sort of follow along.
Also, T! My awesome husband, T! Do you know what he did? He lost THIRTY-SEVEN POUNDS from January till now. THIRTY SEVEN. That is very nearly the weight of one of my larger nephews. Gone! Awesome, no? He didn't do any fancy diets, he just ate less and moved a little bit more. The reason he didn't move a LOT more is that this was a competition that a few guys at work put together (leave it to men to make weight loss into a competition. Can you see a bunch of women doing that? We'd end up crying and/or scratching each other's eyes out), and it was purely weight-based, and he didn't want to gain too much muscle weight. He won the contest. He. Looks. Amazing. (like he didn't already). He weighs less than he did when we got married. I am so proud of him. And maybe a little insecure, now that I am the one with the higher-than-I-wished-it-was BMI. Don't bother asking if that stops me from digging into the ice cream or the Kung Pau chicken, though. Sigh.
And I said "a few things", which implies three-ish or more, but that is all I can think of right now, unless you wanted to hear about my grocery-shopping solo trip to the city tonight, or the fact that it was a hundred degrees at 8:35 this evening, or about how appallingly easy it is to spend $200 on food and household sundries, or about how glad I am that my car runs nicely again, or about how I stopped on the way home at 10:00 to let a man whose car was broken down use my cell phone and I didn't get mauled or kidnapped or anything. Or about how the stars were gorgeous. But you didn't want to hear about any of that stuff. Oops.

Wow, you've been having adventures without me :-)
Congrats T! I think we should do a weightloss competition...However I HAVE to move a lot because my metabolism thinks I'm dead if I'm not running in place for twenty minutes.
