Charlie's Angels

It's been a while since I've posted here. Mostly I've been busy with work. I've also been updating my food blog a lot more. Hmm...let's put things into perspective...I'm not really busy with work, more like preoccupied with work. That's one of the disadvantages of having to work, not having enough time to do anything else. Really, I'm not being ungrateful here...ok maybe a tad bit.

So...I've gained weight. The bane of my existence, the root of all my insecurities, the blight in my...ok ok you get the drift. I'm trying not to panic, not to fall back into old habits, and most especially not to let it get to me too much. I'm not categorically obese as my friend says....but I am fat. And in my twisted mind...fat...is...bad. I don't see anyone who's overweight as bad, just myself. Twisted logic right there. I haven't been my usual jolly self lately since I haven't been fitting into my slim clothes. I've been grumpy *argh* and moody *grrr* and Mike's been getting the brunt of it. Last night, he wanted to prove to me that I wasn't fat, so he carried me to bed. Thank goodness it was less than a meter away from where he lifted me. He was panting by the time we reached the bed. My sweet honey.

I've been reconnecting with old friends. We've not really lost touch. We've moved all over the globe and between us we'd rack up mileage points for another free ticket. It's hard to keep up when you've all got different time zones. I think I'm the lucky one...I'm right smack bang in the middle of their online time. As one goes to bed, the other's starting to get ready for work. What struck me most is how we've all grown up. It's funny, I used to read about adults in the glamour mademoiselle magazines back in the day. I never thought I'd be one to write about turning into an adult...or the resistance to it.

We're all trying to be responsible now...buying a house *it's gorgeous!*, getting married *I just woke up one day and did it!*, and having a committed relationship *I couldn't have picked a better person*. Hopefully a few years from now we get to be physically in one place at one time. Even if it's just to say hello in person, give that much wanted hug, have wine *I can't believe anne actually drinks booze now!!! My you guys have been a long time coming!!!* Jacq even makes cocktails ...we have progressed!!!

Here's to old friends.
