I didn't even really need the scale, just thought it would be fun to see how close I was in my guesstimate.  I base everything on how my clothes fit, and I can calculate based on how many inches of waistline I've lost (close to two-and-a-half now).


What's a waistline?

Don't ask me...I've never had one. ::)

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Sorry, I forgot to log out earlier and have been having a delightful visit with DR Elmore.  We had a fun fiesta and reminisced over some photos that I found of the float our community theater group entered in the Middletown Bicentennial Parade.  Elmore and I  agreed that we remembered staying up all night on July 3, 1976, to "finish" the jesters' costumes.

DearReaderLaura, did you finish the cabinets?

Half of them are almost done. A few doors still need a second coat before they go back on. The self-closing hinges I bought won't fit, so I need to get other hinges before I can put any of the doors on.

Didn't you see them centuries ago?

106 posts?  At seven-thirty?  Well new all-time low, thank you very much.

I just finished a tough three hours of going over all the music from the show so that darling elmore has proper charts to orchestrate from.  You know, we had to fix pitches and rhythms and lots of mis-heard wrong lyrics, but it's done and he'll go put the changes in and we'll be able to ship out by the end of the week.

Having a surprise supper with Miss Barbara Deutsch.  Marie Callendar's here we come.

I've just returned from a delightful evening with DR Ginny, DH Richard, and DS Rob.  Between the three dogs in these two houses and my sister-in-law's smoking, my lungs are a nightmare and I coughed through the entire dinner, which was Mexican and festive.

Let's have an Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy, shall we?  And we've only had two guesses for the trivia contest, both correct I'm happy to say.  Shame on those who don't even make an attempt.

And now, 30 years later, I'm involved in another 4th of July parade - walking with the Miami Valley Association of Volunteer Administrators in Centerville, OH.  All I can say is that in 1976, I wore a much more stunning costume.

Thankfully, DR Ginny's margaritas were not too strong or I could never have navigated the treacherous curves of Elk Creek Road tonight.  This was the first time I've driven to my brother's after sunset.  In the past I was driving the opposite direction to my father's house.  Does any of that make sense?

Tonight, I shall be watching either Stanley Kubrick's Killer's Kiss or Don Siegel's Madigan, probably the latter rather than the former although it could be the former rather than the latter, depending on how contrary I'm feeling upon my return from supping.

I didn't mention DR Ginny's salsas:  bloody Mary pineapple.  I preferred the spicy blody Mary, but both were quite tasty.

And so the frenzy ends!
