Back!

[shiredancer]

Was out of town again this weekend -- I'm ready to stay at home for the next month. Or maybe two. There are just waaaaay too many family commitments, since we are within relatively easy striking distance of both sides. Even though we were in the most hellacious city on the West Coast (that would be L.A., thank you), at least we got a bit of folkdancing in, as the occasion was a 20-year reunion of one of the big folkdance clubs in L.A. Not enough dancing to be worth the drive and the traffic, though!

This marks the end of a very long string of activities that started with Thanksgiving -- every weekend involved either some travel out of town, or planning the next major event, or dealing with it. I sort of feel like the New Year has finally arrived -- it's a good time to sit back and take stock and make some commitments and decide what I'm going to do next. It also means the umpteenth attempt to get back on the Weight Watchers treadmill, oh joy.

Let's see, there must be *something* to look forward to after HobbitCon. Isn't there? *sniffle*

WeightWatchers? Good lord, why? You're gorgeous.

But the downtime sounds good. I could use some of that myself.

*schmooch*

*blush* Am *not* gorgeous, so there! I'm not especially looking to get skinny, it's just that most of my clothes are too tight -- it's that extra five lbs. from the holiday chocolates, y'know. And since I'm too stubborn and anti-shopping to buy new clothes, I need to fit back in the old clothes. And I do believe it's harder to lose 5 lbs. than five times that!

*smooch* Must email you tomorrow. Love ya.

Lose weight? Whatever for???? I agree with Dais, you're gorgeous as is.

Next year's Hobbitcon?

And yeah, those busy, busy times really do leave one looking forward to the downtime. Here's to focus and priorities and may they always be the fun stuff, like belly dancing and crafts!

*getting all embarrassed* Well, see my answer to Daise -- it's more a matter of fitting into my clothes. I really don't want to get too thin -- I don't *like* too thin. Not as huggable, you know? (And let's not kid ourselves -- it ain't gonna happen!) But I have this line I don't like to cross, and when I do I just like to pull back. Besides, I eat more healthily (if that's a word) on WW than any other time.

And another HobbitCon next year would be *lovely* -- definitely something to look forward to!

*feels cheerier already*
