Still here.
2) I have spectacularly dark eyes. Random strangers have exclaimed, on meeting me, that I have the darkest eyes they've ever seen. I like having so obvious a "best feature."
In other news ...
I have neither fallen off a cliff nor given up. Instead, I've been working a ton of overtime to compensate for a nepotistic hire, trying to keep semi-current with my homework, and working my program.
And I've done really well sticking to my eating plan (although we had pizza last night) and been pretty marginal with the exercise, despite the ever-closer date of my first triathlon.
I *am* training, just not like I'd like to be. The rest of my life keeps getting in the way and I am exceptionally good at distracting myself. I need to get back on the fitness wagon, both because I want to be fit enough to finish my race and also because, after 20 pounds, my body starts to adjust to this whole losing thing. So I have to shake things up. Sneak up on the next 10 lbs. :)
I also have short hair, again. I'd forgotten how much I love it, both because it's easier and it suits me.
I'm sure I've got a tremendous amount to catch up on with all of you!
