I thought it would scare him, at least with my scary fake accent, but it didn't. Seems to have prepared him a little instead. He said he'll be packing lamb in his pockets, Elaine-style (great Seinfeld episode). Of course, the crew was delighted to hear such treats are in store.

The invitation to my cousin's wedding in October arrived. I knew I would be going, but I didn't know it would be held in the lavish Aqua Turf. That photo doesn't do it justice. It is a night wedding, so not much of the scenery will be appreciated. However, the venue means two things to me: 1. Awesome food, therefore I must look the best that I possibly can, and 2. It would be nice if I had a date. I'm the oldest unmarried (divorced) cousin who'll be there I think, and damnnit all, if I have to be there, I want to have fun and dance and not face all the "So how come you don't have a boyfriend" questions from relatives. I might just go with the shocker "I've converted to a lesbian" answer if I can't get a date.

Someone emailed me and asked "So, with all the working out and food planning, are you losing pounds?"
Fair question, although I'm trying not to focus on the numbers hang up.
Amazingly, the answer is no. Maybe there's something wrong with me.
I'm still in the 60s, the low 60s. But nothing to report. When I am safely ensconced in the 50s, I'll be sure to let you know. Safely no longer means 59 or even 58. Safely would have to be crooked numbers like 57.

NOTE: A little bit closer to 3 miles. It is fun to have a mini goal like that, but I have to be careful to still allow myself the warm up time. Otherwise I could easily pull that good old muscle in my leg again.

My weight is coming off slow as Christmas too. But I know how my body works...it hangs on like I'm starving and then all of a sudden one day 3-4 pounds will come off in one day.
You are eating super healthy and working out like crazy so I wouldn't worry! It will come off.
LOVE THE VIDEO!
First of all, love the LAUGH. You have a great laugh. I however snort like a pig. You've been warned.
Second it looks like Duncans all "y'all need to take a page from my book and just sit down, what's withh all the pacing?"
I really hope we can come out of this series better than we're going in it.
I want something to cheer about these next couple nights. Lord knows it wont be sex.
That's my pseudo Minnesota/Sarah Palin/Scots accent. What a geek I am!
I just went to a cousin's wedding and of course all the family was there. The only other single cousin came up to me and said "I guess next year it's either you or me." Nothing like a little pressure.
Love the video, especially the way Duncan didn't move the whole time. Just sat there and let the world swirl around him.
I've never had the family pressure to "find a man"...for me, they always asked "when are you going to have children?" Um, never?
I finally started telling people I "couldn't" have kids (which was a lie, I just never wanted kids), then they shut up. Maybe your lesbian remark will work similarly. :)
