So I lasted all of two hours at work today before I had to come home. I'm getting really tired of vomiting every time I try to eat something. I could never be bulimic. It irritates me too much. I look BAD right now too. I'm sallow and I have dark circles under my eyes. I could be crazy, but I think my clothes are even a little bit more loose. That's probably my head though.

eta: tthjinni, THANK YOU.

Dinner has stayed down. Yes.

My mom's birthday was yesterday, but since I was so sick, we didn't do anything. So I took her to dinner tonight. Somewhere where I could get some light and unthreatening fare. It worked. But the big thing was I ran into an old friend from high school. They seated us at the table right next to her and her husband... not on purpose. For the handful of you who know me now and knew me way back when, it was Sarah Edwards. Well, she's not Edwards now. She married Chris Teubner... who still looks adorable. LOL. But Sarah and Chris had the scoop on EVERYBODY that I used to actually like in high school. The biggest mystery to me is how one of the biggest delinquents I used to run with is now a Dallas police officer. But at least now he gets to carry a gun legally. It's Berka for the curious. Yes, Berka is Dallas PD. I could have died. Chris's little bro, the one we all thought was gay? Married. To a woman. Two kids. Michelle? Teaching science to sixth graders. Sarah's a teacher too, by the way. Troubled kids, pregnant teenagers. It's so her. She's one of the reasons for my love of patienece. We exchanged information and we decided our group needs to meet up.

I got told I looked great. Size-wise. I'm sure the rest of me looked like crap warmed over. Whenever I run into someone who hasn't seen me in years, it really hits home how much weight I've lost. I mean, my face looks different without three chins, you know? A few snarky comments were made about some people, and I was told with much happy chuckling that I was so still "me" that is was almost scary. That it was good that some people with such interesting character could be counted to stay true to themselves. Damn, that felt good. That's why I'll always be friendly with the group I was friendly with in high school. They understood and appreciated my sometimes unique and often snarky view of the world.

eta: tthjinni, yes, my brother has a drill you can borrow.

eta2: A fellow ComStar author told me he'd just purchased "Tavern Tales" ComStar's first anthology online and Barnesandnoble.com. Congrats jesca1976! It's so exciting to see your name as the editor there on the book. I can't wait to go to websites and see my own book available like that. Squee!

We're off to stake the wizard

So the Wizard of Oz was on tonight. I think that most people who know me know that I have a deep and affectionate love for this movie. Especially for the Wicked Witch. Love her. Great cackle. Superb. I've also always felt that Glenda was about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. But I love the movie. Even if Dorothy's a bit too much of a sugar cookie, I still love her for being so sweet.

So I was thinking about what if Faith got dumped in Oz instead of Dorothy? Different movie. WAY different movie. LOL.
