Happy Anniversary, Pix and ND!

My doctor's appointment this morning revealed that I'm down 24 lbs. from the high I'd hit in late summer (and about 4 lbs. over the plateau I've seemed to stick at even with strict Atkins dieting since about 2004). So it's not just wishful thinking that my clothes are looking better on me.

Although I assume the polgara demon is nothing like Polgara.

You haven't spent quality time with her.

:-P

Also, the closet wasn't locked. But, ita is right, the gun wasn't loaded.

Polgara should come here and have a board gaming weekend with me.

I think in addition to a book club, I would really like a board game night club since my kiddo doesn't like to play them.

Way to go Matt!

sumi, I will send you my address, thanks.

Not my vanity plate, and I would not own a Jag. But seeing everyone would be fun.

Today I drove a friend to bail her wife out of jail. She had 2 unpaid tickets and was driving a car that is overdue for registration and inspection sticker updates. Good Gravy. I wish they would let me do a financial budget intervention with them, but I don't think it would fly. I am really good at crisis management though, really good at it for other people. I need a me for me.

Sophia,

I think I have Mockingjay on kindle. Can I loan it to you?

I just checked, I can loan it to you for 14 days. Can you give me a holler at my profile addy? I'm happy to do it.

I'm moving to Venezuela this summer.

Raq! That's so far away! Maybe you should arrange your flight plans through San Francisco on your way there.

For the summer, Raq? Or for good? Also, wow! Safe travels!

Where in Venezuela? I spent a couple of weeks in Caracas and a couple in the jungle during my youth.

In woeful news, I just dropped and shattered a bottle of OPI's Nevermore. Fortunately the tile cleaned up pretty well and was black to start with, so it doesn't look that bad, except for the grouty bits. However, I have no more nevermore. Woes.

Ergh, $169 just to change transmission fluid? He said it was like an oil change! And he was confident that nothing was wrong with transmission and sometimes fluid just gets bad even though none of the driving conditions that should do it really apply to me I don't even know I just hope it's fine.

Last month, I drove angry and wasn't careful and got a speeding ticket. 83 in a 65. Just got the docket yesterday.

$370!!

Jesus, I haven't gotten a speeding ticket in years, but I don't think it was that much last time. Holy crap. And the docket said I wasn't eligible for traffic school because they couldn't verify my driving history...because the cop had apparently never seen a driver's license before and only wrote down my first and middle name, leaving out my last name. So I guess I have to call the damn courthouse or whatever to fix that so they CAN verify my driving history and it doesn't go on my record but if they don't have my correct name maybe THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO I AM??? But they have my address and car and everything, so that probably won't slide.

Cars, man. Fucking cars.

Heh. Nice rant!

I totally feel your car pain. See File Erin: 1995-Present; Cars. But that was a good car rant.

I am STILL stupid from travel, but starting to get shit done. Slowly.

I have A List. Okay.
