Home renovations took its toll.

my living room looks fantastic. supple leather couches, sleek lines in the furniture. everything is soft where it should be, hard where it should be.

everything, that is, except me.

I have a brand new 47 inch HDTV, yet I am not HDTV ready.

I need to lose 5-8 pounds.

that will start with going to the gym again, as I have fallen off the wagon and into the cookie jar. I will have to wire my jaw shut as well.

I love to eat. I used to love to exercise. Isn't it amazing how some loves wane, while others (see above jaw wiring) remain ardent...fervent...all consuming

I know what you mean -

but I have to tell you - whenever I see your avatar - I picture that that is what you look like!

I know - silly - but I can't help it. I associate people with there avatars.
