Whatcha wanna know?

Well, it's official... I'm moving to San Diego this weekend! It took awhile to finalize everything but it's all settled now, and I'll start my new job May 5th! I flew out last weekend and found a basic apartment in the ritziest area of La Jolla, a block from Children's Beach (home of many very smelly and cute baby seals). It's worth having a small but basic place to get that ocean view and the sound of surf at night. Bungee and I will be spending a lot of time walking the shore and visiti... read more

I thought I'd write a quick note in honor of my wonderful cat Marcel, who left us early yesterday morning.

Saturday: attended graduation, a quick lunch, packed my nieces belongings in o... read more

Today's my 3 month bandiversary, and I'm officially down 50 lbs total (38 since surgery). Boy, does that feel GOOD! I've had one small adjustment as of last week, and it's made a big difference in how quickly I fill up. I'm feeling pretty optimistic that another 10 lbs will be gone by Xmas.

To celebrate, I donated 6 bags of oversized clothes so someone else can make use of what I can no longer wear... and I had a cookie. Hee hee hee...

Since it's thanksgiving week, I can say confi... read more

Every day is Halloweeeeeen!

Have a great day everyone! Hope you're all having fun and spooking coworkers and friends!! I'll be doing my best to spook neighborhood children at my sister's house, along with my construction-worker labradoodle. Sis's pooch is will be lounging about as a mermaid.

Have fun!!
