Sevens up.

Okay, I'm using the "new" blogging format. I don't know what that means, exactly, except that now I can put photos in the middle of my post, so I can mention something, then BOOM, here's the photo. I'm sure that'll happen soon. Like maybe NYE 2011. (Did you know the Harlem Globetrotters are still around? I thought they were dead. They must've gotten better.) Anyhoo, I'm updated.

I was having a minor meltdown yesterday-today, because I lost my landlines and internet access when the geniuses doing work on a nearby street cut a major phone line. OOPS. I'm so used to having internet access 24/7, that I felt like I was back in the stone age. I didn't know what to do. Had to turn on broadcast TV to get news and weather. Had NO idea who needed a big carrot for their Farm, or who wanted to give me a big digital flower or heart or whatever on Facebook. Couldn't shop for ANYTHING. Then I had to LEAVE THE HOUSE today to check my email! Shudder. Don't know if I can ever forgive them. But it did give me a chance to take in the 3 "new" pair of jeans that I bought like 4 months ago and never got hemmed. So the upside is that I got my alterations started and checked out the coffee shop with free wifi downtown. (Well, actually I checked out two coffee shops down there, because one of them had not-workingfi.) But the second one was great and I may go back and actually buy a beverage or something as payback for using their free wifi. I'm having an olfactory recollection of the place right now -- I can smell the coffee, and it smells good. Such a shame that coffee never tastes quite as excellent as it smells.

And weight loss news? Well, I can squeeze my squidge into my Sevens again. I've still got a mini-muffin going on -- wouldn't want to wear a tight shirt with them, but at least I can wear them again. That's pretty good. Some of you may recall that the fact that I muffin-topped out of my Sevens was kind of the last straw that made me realize that I was getting fat. Squeezing into the Sevens is a bit of a victory. I feel and look better, but I really need to work on building muscle now. That's my new plan -- loads of Gilad. I'ma do Gilad again in the morning. And I'll try that ballroom dance thingie this weekend or something.
