but I can’t because he doesn’t live here and he barely talks to me on the phone anymore, in part because he spent the entire day Sunday asleep and/or nursing a gynormous hangover.
- I am mortified because this… pimple… near my bottom lip. It appears to actually be a cold sore, i.e. herpes virus infestation. And I’ve been kissing the boy about as much as usual, which means at every opportunity. Herpes, at 2 years old? Give me the parenting blue ribbon now!

But, I’ve been saying this since it was… “wow…. 200 lbs!” At least it is getting me out of my current state of denial and back onto the healthy eating bandwagon.
- Ever since lying out in the sun on vacation, I’ve had this terrible itching (sunburn on my back, and I’ve just sort of been scratching as much as humanly possible. So the other day, I get the idea to actually look at my back, and I see that I’ve got a whole bunch of what look like bug bites up and down the side of my back. Not that this is so shocking, but it’s amazing how out of touch I am with my body, that I didn’t take a look until several days later. (OK, now we’re shifting from “things I’d like to tell my husband” to general thoughts…)
- Today I got the delivery of “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle, and I’m looking forward to checking it out. I’ve been reading about it — and about similar concepts — on a couple of diet blogs, and it seems absolutely up my alley.
