BE IT NOW KNOWN!

From this point forward and for the next month/several months, I will be doing some hard-core Atkins dieting.

And why is this?

Because I'm TOO FAT to get te Lap Band Surgery. I need to DROP A FEW POUNDS before I can be DOWNGRADED to "MORBIDLY OBESE"!

So what does this mean? It means a lot of food and candy will be up for grabs over the next few weeks to co-werkers and local acquaintances. It means I won't be partaking in the donuts, pizza, sandwiches and other various goodies they keep bring in to us at werk. It means I'll be eating meat, meat and MORE meat for the forseeable future!

Kissin' like a burglar!

I get really creeped-out when people use the term "I made out like a BANDIT!" when describing how many presents they got for Christmas, if only because it brings up EXTREMELY disturbing imagery for me.

Makes me think "Oh, so you dressed-up in a black-and-white stripey shirt, mask and cap? Broke in to your house and tongue-kissed all your presents? Cool!"
