In the ever running game of upside/downside: Upside is that the shortbread cooked super fast....the dark pans make the cookies overcook. The downside is that I made sarameg's chocolate cookies and it was an ugly ugly ugly epic fail.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

I can't find any superhero panties I like. I am disappoint.
It seems like there should be She Hulk tap pants.

Guys, I got a phone call from Princess Cruises today and I have my ship placement! January 25th I will be on the Sun Princess, cruising out of Sydney all over Asia, Africa, and the Pacific!
I seriously could not have chosen a better itinerary out of all their ships. I am so excited.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, that's exciting.
I have put on Hec's Comfort and Joy tape (!!) and am girding myself for wrapping and baking.

I have so much baking to do tonight. But in my excitement I may accidentally eat half the cookies I bake. I will have to try my hardest to control myself!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
zuisa, that's really cool.
I can't find any decent memory cards that work with my ancient DSLR. I "organised" them before my last trip, and now all I can find 32MB. Which, you know, 8 pictures at my default resolution. Where did I put them? Don't make me go back to Best Buy. After buying the fancy SDHC cards that are too newfangled.

So exciting, zuisa!!
May you find adequate and timely food, Kathy, and may your visit go well and give you great news!
I went to the grocery story and added some applesauce to my shopping cart, so when I came home, I popped it open and had a few spoonfulls for a very belated and small lunch. Now I'm having the remainder of my Wendy's chili from Tuesday.
My weigh-in was very happymaking! When I had my surgery on 11/29, I was exactly 450 pounds. As of today, 12/23, I am 422!!! 28 pounds in 25 days, yay! I was hoping for 425 by the end of the year, so I'm way ahead of schedule. I'll probably be at 415 by NYE. My next weigh-in is at the surgeon's office on 1/6, when I'm hoping I'll be down to 410 at least.
Tomorrow, I'm going to call over and see if the pool's sign-in office is open. If so, I'm going to go for a swim. If not, I'll have to wait until Sunday, but that's okay, too.
