Laughing twice in two days?
Must be some kind of record.
Ahhhh, them young folks these days and their witty sentiments. It all gets a bit much sometimes, I can't keep up.
As an aside, here's what I'm working on in terms of what's blog related.
- First and foremost, moving the blogs over to my domain. I haven't even looked at what's required here, though it's the first thing I want to get sorted. Not least at all it means that I can access the blog at work, ahahha! ... No, that's a lie, I still won't be able to access the blog at work (in fact, I will probably be asking The Boss to block the site to prevent me from accessing it).
- Work on writing a couple of book reviews that are long overdue. I've been lucky enough to be exposed to some great fat acceptance literature, and I've been meaning to work on the reviews for a VERY long time, and for those who have put their faith in me, I'm sorry that I've been so damn disappointing. I will get there. I must admit, all of the changes to my life at the moment has kinda thrown me out of sorts, and it's going to take a bit of adjusting.
- Get a move on completing the Always a Bridesmaid series. Oh boy, there is a LOT of work to be done here, the thought of it is quite daunting. I've uploaded a bunch of photos, but there are many more that I want to use that are on various discs that I need to rummage up. Never mind the ones that I want to modify and Lolercise[1] by being all captiontastic. Because there's so much content here (I honestly imagine like, 15 posts or something ridiculous as such), I'll probably be putting regular content in between each post.
- Write some To Do Lists associated with other areas of my life. Not least of all is the health and fitness front, among other things. One of the hard things I've had accepting this year is that I cannot run. If my ankle is uncomfortable in a zero impact spinning class, how on earth can I run 10km? I entered five RunAuckland races, and how many did I do? One. That's a rather depressing thought for me. Most of the races I consciously assessed my body's strength and decided I was not up to it - though one course I thought I could handle the 5km walk, yet I slept in and missed the race. In years gone by, that would've been a nightmare, but I woke up, looked at the time and went "Ah well...". That ain't a Marshmallow reaction! If I can't channel the passion into running, I need to channel it somewhere else. I've made the switch from training to exercise and I'm not sure I enjoy the lack of purpose very much. Some serious thinking is to be done here.
- Have a good old fashioned vent about what's been happening. I can't publish details about a lot of what's been happening and why I've been so down (and for those of you whom I've confided in, I'd appreciate it if you'd be discrete and not leave any comments that could be taken and extrapolated), but I *can* publish about how I've been feeling. Despite having so many good things happening both now, and the future, the thought of all of them does not excite me at all - it makes me feel tired. I've got a busy busy busy time ahead with some good friends who read C&E coming from The Netherlands and Melbourne for a few weeks, and I plan to show them a hell of a good time while they're here - though once they've gone back home, I'd like to be a boring fuddy duddy for a while and have NOTHING happen to me, kthx. I need to vent about that, my soul needs a good cleanse.
[1] - And omfg, 'lolercise' has got to be the best damn word ever.

Heyyy good to see ya :)
Exercising without purpose. Interesting thought. I know what you meant by that... training has a goal, a specific date and task. Exercise? Not so much.
Made me think, though, about my goals for exercise. Mainly I focus on things like, right now I want to be able to go on hikes this summer and I won't be able to if I don't keep up the exercise. So it's kind of like training, to me. And there's the calorie burning thing, and the fitness thing. But I have often wished I could "train" for something specific. I think I'd like the structure and purpose in that.
You're right. That is funny. Thanks for the screen shot and giving me a good laugh :)
GIRL. You are way too bitchin to have been down in these dumps. I am so sad things have been difficult for you lately. I don't even have to know what's going on to know it's not fair (as if fair ever enters into it...STILL). It's not right. I'm glad you have all this stuff coming up to keep your mind on the things you are awesome at:
Loving yourself
Being with friends
Writing
Staying healthy
If it would help, and stay frozen, I'd send you a pint of Fenway Fudge ice cream, which makes nearly everything in life right as rain. But there's the frozen part...so will you settle for a virtual pint?
