I got to sleep in today. I feel so good. That is, I felt good until I hopped on the scale to do my morning weigh in. The good news is that I apparently lost six pounds during the night (that’s why I’m going to weigh myself at the same time every morning, immediately after going to the bathroom and before hopping into the shower!), but the bad is that, ugh, I fattened up over the holidays. Stupid butter cookies. Stupid chicken. Stupid potatoes. Nah, stupid Jenn for, as a friend used to say, “not knowing when to push back from the table”. 284.6 lbs., people. Ugh.
WordPress is the shit, if you don’t know that already. And if you’re not using it for your blog management, what the heck are you waiting for?! So many plugin goodies… Flickr photos, what I’m playing in iTunes, private and/or hidden categories, protected posts, user levels, automatic cross-posting to LiveJournal and Vox… anything I have wanted to do, I have almost always been able to find a plugin or code modification to do it!
Before I go, I just have to say that I can’t help but feel that this vandalizing punk got what he deserved.
Aww, don’t feel lonely. All the damned cooking I did over the holidays didn’t seem to stop me from seriously stuffing my face :-/. But alas such is life. Don’t worry you’ll get the weight off :D!
And I know. WordPress has gotten even better since I last used it. I absolutely love it :P. Plugins and widgets for every damn thing you can think of, it’s awesome.
Don’t worry, I think we all fatten up at least a little over the holidays. I know I have also, even though I haven’t weighed myself in a loooooooong time, haha.
I agree, wordpress is the shit. I just started using it, and it’s very ‘beginner-friendly’ in my opinion. I hope it only gets better. :D
I love wordpress! Good to see u back. I LOVE ur new layout, u are truly so creative, im jealous!
I’ve been wondering what the plugin is for the “recently played” thing at the bottom. Very cool, but it would mean me having to complete my cover art search.
I have given up on the scale. I have been simply relying on how my clothes fit. If I notice a difference there, then I know something’s going on.
Got what he deserved?
He was thirteen years old, made murals in memoriam of 9/11 and got hit by a train — and you think he got what he deserved?
Ridiculous. No one deserves to die, especially for just painting some graffiti, and especially not a 13-year-old kid.
Jess, take a look at the article’s wording, if you haven’t already.
Often, not always… meaning that the rest of the time he was most likely happily scrawling all sorts of inane crap and pictures all over property that did not belong to him.
I’m sorry, but I’ve seen too many beautiful areas of three different cities utterly destroyed by graffiti, playgrounds and schools included. I have very little tolerance for the “artists” behind it.
And I’ve seen amazing and profound works of art come out of people who got their start as graffiti artists.
A thirteen year old CHILD died, was killed by a train. Regardless of graffiti you’ve seen in various cities in various places, no CHILD deserves to die like that — no PERSON at all deserves to die like that. Sure, with proper encouragement he may not have been doing graffiti in the first place but that is not the CHILD’S fault — and he didn’t deserve to die AT ALL for expressing his creativity. He was THIRTEEN, for gods sakes!
And even if he didn’t always create murals of 9/11, he still did it often. How many 13 year olds do you know that do that?
The holiday season is killer for the weight! As others have said don’t beat yourself up over gaining. I don’t know most of the time I feel like I just have to walk into a place that has a refrigerator in it and I gain 5 pounds.
I forget which magazine it was (I think it was Glamour) but they had a big article in their last month’s edition about losing weight. They said your true weight is weighing yourself when you first wake up, after you’ve gone pee, and you’ve removed your clothes. They also had information on checking your BMI, etc. It was really good.
Yeah, WordPress is the shit. Following your site for the past, I don’t know, how many years, I was compelled to make the upgrade, mainly because I was so sick of the comment spam in my other blog program. So happy I made the change!
Glad to see you’ve been back Jenn. Lord knows I missed ya!
Re: the graffiti kid. I couldn’t care less about the graffiti aspect, but at 13 you generally know not to carelessly hang out around train tracks. It sucks that he died, yes, but he put himself in that situation.
