Hello everyone!
Star: Wow...crazy woman on the loose in Oregon, eh? I think I would have laughed at her insinuations, too. What can you do about these crazy people? Just roll your eyes, I guess. Sounds like she's awfully jealous, though, of all your success in losing weight. I love it when people "storm off" though - very dramatic. And very amusing for the one watching the "stormer."
And congrats on the size 5! I can't even imagine...
Leens: lurvely wedding pic! Glad to see you experimenting for us with the new board layout (which by the way, I like).
Frouf: Bah. Snow. Bah. Weather that's just going to get colder later this week. I hope your tummy feels better. Subway in Canada really has the low-carb wraps? I mean, I know I saw the commercials for it, and even though I knew they were Cdn commercials, I still figured it was all a lie and that the wraps would only be available in the US. I wonder if they will take my full Subway card for the lc wraps? Hmmm...
Story: Your poor mother!
At my hypothetical wedding shower, I can totally picture my mother embarrassing me! My sister inherited her non-prudish genes. My non-prudism comes out in spurts, but not consistently.
As for the grilled cheese sandwich, my brother would sometimes take one slice of brown bread, toast it and then somehow skillfully cut it in half to come up with two pieces and use that to keep carbs low. If you're not on induction, I think that might still keep carbs low?
Hey fullfig & supersized! It's nice seeing nearly everyone back. I haven't seen rochemist here for awhile?
Theo: Way to go on resisting the cake! I'm a bit of a cheat on this program when I go to birthday parties, I always take the piece of cake that they give me. It's handed directly to me, and with my group of friends in Montreal, I don't feel comfortable going into my weightloss efforts with them, especially since I know it will turn into this big "thing" once I mention Atkins. So I just quietly try to go about it. I avoid all the other party food though so maybe it's only half-cheating?
Jane: even though I complain a bit about the difficulty in finding LC items up here, I'm fairly satisfied with what I have at the moment, too. The only times when I find it difficulty is when I need "convenient" stuff...something to take the place of a granola bar.
Karen, glad that your DD is feeling much better!
Jina, hope your stomach returns back to normal - hopefully it was just some weird temporary thing caused by solar flares or bizarre rifts in the space-time continuum?
Tried to resolve the last library book issue today, but since I couldn't find the 'lost' book on the shelf, I have to wait until Jan 22 when the supervisor comes back. Grr.
Then, I wanted to borrow a laptop on Wednesday for the tutorial I'm giving, and for some reason my department decided to *stop* allowing grad students to borrow the laptops this term unless they were doing a seminar. Grr. Throws a wrench in those plans.
I apologize to anyone that has fond feelings towards the university I am currently attending, but its rating in my books continually drops, over silly stupid things, too! It makes me look wistfully back at my undergrad university... *sigh*
Whew! I've got to get back to work. See you all later, Julie.
Way to go...every little bit helps.
