In other news: be careful what you wish for, if what you wish for is proof that your vague health/weight loss regimen is working, for you will get a cute cab driver on the way home from Fred Meyer who appears to be flirting with you, and realize as you get into the cab that you should have worn a belt because your favorite pants are now way too big.

Maybe I /should/ get a scale. I need a place to hide it first so I don't keep weighing myself every hour.

I really like National Braille Press - especially their calendars and their print-braille valentines. But is it too much to expect an organization dedicated to literacy to spell out the entire word 'you' in the image of the candy heart, instead of using that atrocious netspeak that's going around these days like a viral infection? It's TWO LETTERS, people. Even in braille, an admittedly bulky medium, that's not that much.
