typing with my left hand is too hard.

For obvious reasons, I never tuck in my shirts or blouses so the other day I happened to lift up my shirt to take a look at the rear view and I see these weird white spots on my jeans at the back just above the pockets. Upon further inspection, I discover that these are not spots, they are *rips* - my jeans had ripped and my undies were showing! And these are stretch jeans!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I'm a pig. And I have nothing to wear.

I read yesterday that they think Elizabeth Smart may have been brainwashed and that's why she never tried to get away. In the picture she looked quite well-nourished and happy, I thought. Lord knows what they did to her. I hope they can get the poor thing back to where she was. And yes, her family is going to go through h*ll in the next few weeks.

Peachy, you can come to the next party!

Going to exercise now. If I time it right, I can watch reruns of Dharma and Greg and ignore the torture.

Poor Lushie. You need to dictate your lists to your personal secretary so he/she can post them for you.

I am a good eBay-er. I always send things out promptly and pay for stuff when I buy it. Too bad I can't organize the rest of my life worth a da**.

I keep finding things to go through. Last week it was all my old piano music. Right now I am looking at my college transcript. I did very well in University Chorale. Did you know I graduated cum laude? Woopee. My very last grade (I only took one course my last semester) was the lowest I ever had in 4 years--C+. I got an A in Fitness through Aquatics one semester.

The funniest thing in here so far is my final bill from the university. A semester's tuition was $1900 -- this was at a private college! I ended the year with a credit. I wonder if I ever got it back. I had $2.45 in library fines.

Now I'm going to go look at the folder marked "News Clippings and Souvenirs"

I've nothing to say. And yet, here I am.

Poor Lushie w/ the bum hand. I'm missing your lists. They always remind me of all the things I'm not getting done.

I'm reading the best book - The Crimson Petal and the White - get it on tape if you haven't already, Lush. Also just finished Midwives. Very good book.

DS will be 20 years old on Saturday! I can't believe it. He's my baby, too. DD will be 23 next month. And I will be ------ eeeeeeek!!!! in less than a month! No wonder I feel so old - it's because I AM.

I am old too. But not tonight. Tonight I'm merely tipsy. Thank you very much. It's Margie night. Where's Bagzy?

Why the h*ll is it that YOU COWS aRE OLD and I'm not????? 'splain that Lucy.

My DD is sick -- sore throat. No biggie. But we were going to go paint and clean at her music teacher's new school building. Oh well. At least I have a good excuse to be lazy (don't be telling me I could go without her -- a girl needs her mommy when she's sick )

I got nearly 12 hours of sleep last night.

Stick that in your dog years.

OOOOO -- she swore at me !!!!!!!!!

THIS IS WHAT I WEIGH .... ONE HUNDRED FORTY SEVEN POINT ONE POUNDS

tomorrow this number will be smaller. Got it? My jiggly belly that hangs off my abdomen and caresses my thighs will have to reach further. 147.1 147.1 147.1 .... blahhhhh

If I amputated both my legs, I would weigh the same as you!!

A COW FIGHT!!! I LOVE IT!!!!----well,I presume I am still at 160 but i will not weigh myself until monday so you will have to hold your breathless {from all the fat choking your diaphram} breath.----i had WINE last night instead of margies and i am STILL regretting it-----wine does NOT agree with me fer shure!!!!!! tomorrow is my birthday party at mothers---i am forty SIX on tuesday

[color=olive]That sounds so disgusting, it might just work

Oh, please, not the belly pictures. I don't think the 3fcs would allow that.

I did a search at Google for "back fat" because I wanted to know how to get rid of those nasty little rolls on my back. Besides getting exercise and diet advice (they might go away if you eat less and do back exercises, but they might not, so you may as well consider liposuction) I got two interesting sites: The Bring Back Fat Albert Webring (was he ever really gone?) and something called Get Off My Back, Fat Boy! I could surf for days.

I *think* I lost a pound this week but I'll do the official announcement on Monday. I'm going from a starting weight of 163.

We're going to McDonald's for lunch because we have coupons. 30 lashes with a wet apple pie.
