    LRB, that's why she calls me her little curser.  I am sure not smiling when I am doing that.  Some days I cannot even keep it like that for a long period of time (it's hard especially after an MLR).

     

    you do not have to tell me, I am going through the same crap on Mondays!

      I know I need to lose weight as someone I had lunch with said I look great and on the right weight.  They don't understand runners. 

       

      I don't get that. What were they supposed to say that would have made you happy?

        I don't get that. What were they supposed to say that would have made you happy?

         

        Nothing.  These people think I was too skinny before.  For example, my husband gained 30lbs in the last few years and now they tell him he looks the right way.  They just think anything below a size 6 is underweight.

          Oh I get it... You wanted them to say that you look too skinny. Right? 

           

          I'm slow.

              You're lucky you get nice comments. All I get are things like: you look tired today.

                  I have gotten those, even in court WITH MAKEUP ON.  Usually after a few weeks of insomnia. 

                   

                  However, ever since surgery, everybody tells me I look happy.  Initially, people asked me where did I go on vacation.  Apparently, surgery to take care of shit that hurt for 7 years helped.  Figures.

                    Pain does show on the face and over time, our facial features are molded on it. I'm so glad that you are free from it, now.

                     

                    I sent my SO to the grocery store with this list:

                     

                    2 cans of whole tomatoes

                    2 lbs of meat

                    2 cans of red beans

                    celeri

                    milk

                    pandora mix

                    one box of tishcouc

                    waffles

                    maple syrup

                     

                    He called me 5 minutes ago and said: What is pandora mix and tishcouc? I asked around and no one knows..." Then I laughed hard. I have time to waste, it seems. And apparently he doesn't.

                                Only a few times do I miss the place I was born.  Looking at these (which I consider among the prettiest in the world) made me homesick.  But just for a short visit.
