The weather is absolutely gorgeous - lovely, lovely!
And we don't get to say "great weather!" in Ohio but a few times a year. Ye-HAW, it's purty out.

People that work outside know, there's only about 4 days a year that are lovely. A few more are partially-lovely, a lot are only not-too-bad, and most are tolerable, could-be-worse, or crappy.

My course was great yesterday!
I think I'll really gain something from this. Also, today at school I found out we are having a Cake Sale next Friday. Not only does this tie in with me new interest in baking, but the school's chosen charity this year is MacMillan Cancer Support - a very worthy charity and obviously close to my heart. So I'm planning a cupcake extravaganza. It won't cost me any money - Mum has offered to buy all the ingredients, because she is away from home housesitting and can't come and support it. This also means I have the kitchen to myself the night before If I really impress myself (I will, my standards aren't all that high) I will post pictorial evidence. Really feeling quite jolly and useful today, having been at school Weds & Fri and on my course in between. |

I bought a pair of 75 cent bluejeans at the Goodwill outlet today. They are 36 waist, so I figured i would eventually be able to wear them...and at $0.75, why not... I also got a denim shirt and a pair of 38 inch waist tan 'jeans' .. also 75c.
best part: the bluejeans fit. they're tight, but they fit. |

That's one great feeling when you fit something that you think is a bit small.

And you should see the lists she's made for me for when they go away! I've been here two years, they've gone away probably 20+ times. Do I really need to be told to empty the kitchen bin regularly? She's even included "put a Calgon tablet in with every wash so the washing machine doesn't fur up". I put a wash on almost every day. I know it's because we argued. It's her way of showing she's lost trust in me. Shrug. They'll be gone on Monday and I can relax Congrats on the weight loss LJ. I just seem to be effortlessly gliding upwards these days... |

Yahoo Groups apparently received enough negative feedback about their shitty new format (a total visual change meant to approximate Facebook instead of a messageboard) that they switched all of them back to the old format. This makes me very happy indeed.

Looks like a whole lot of happiness there Jim. So much so it's contagious. I am happy for you.

That's excellent. Just don't take them to endless museums on rainy days.
I've got to admit I'm one of those "cheerleading is not a sport" knee-jerk folks, but she sure looks like an athlete in those pics -not just the muscles, but the way she stands. WTG, R.
