Two 1972 classics in ONE photo!

One of the businesses created a Stanley Cup out of aluminium foil as a show of support for the Flyers. And although I’m a Devils fan, I want the Flyers to win the Cup because that’ll be another Philadelphia team to win their sport’s championship before the Eagles do. And I hate the Eagles.

There were even nationally known celebrities there!

And the Courier-Post had a booth, too. I couldn’t NOT be a ham. You’ll forgive me, right? (subscribe, subscribe, subscribe, save my job, save my job…)

My kicky hat is from Eugenia Kim’s Target line.

So I was SUPER on track with this diet until Easter, then I spun out on Cadbury Mini Eggs and that turned into pizza and bar food. Somehow.

Anyway, I went up to 164 lbs and have been back on plan this week. It shows…I lost 2 lbs and am back to 162.0 – which is the lowest yet for this attempt – 18.4 lbs.

Phase 2 starts today. I don’t think I’ll get the full 40 off by the wedding, but 30-35 would be spiffy.

I did order my bridesmaid dress finally. It’ll be coming in a size 10, which is not the 12 or 14 I could be wearing, and not the 8 I wanted to order. I’ll cope. It’s this one, but in black, and with a decently sized rack under it. It’ll be very pretty!!

Anything else going on? Not much. I’m feeling human again after being sick last week. My stomach’s a bit upset from something. I used to have a cast-iron stomach. Now, not so much.

Tonight’s “Cruise Night” in Collingswood so we’ll head out to see the old cars after work. I know nothing about classic cars but I love looking at them and listening to the bands. Plus, sitting on a stoop with a great guy and a slice of pizza on a gorgeous spring night? Bliss.

Finally, if you’re the prayerful type…WM really needs a teaching job. Unemployment’s a demoralizing drag. So if you’re in NJ and need a fresh and passionate history teacher on your staff, holler! If not, please pray that a great teaching job will be offered to him.

WM: (talking about his classes) …and the kids complain about my handwriting. They can’t read it on the board.
Me: Well, your writing is…delicate. And pretty. It’s girly!
WM: Well, you write like an ax murderer. Your writing doesn’t even rate “ransom note.”

Talk about below the belt! Penmanship/handwriting was always my worst subject in grade school. And now my writing is a strange amalgam of print, cursive, and cuneiform. So sue me!

(scene: living room, at my PC as I write this)
WM: (looking over my shoulder) I don’t know if I would have gone with cuneiform. I’d have gone with hieratic. It’s a low-rent form of hieroglyphics.
Me: LOW RENT????

Can you feel the love?

BTW, I was invited into the World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King beta. If you’re interested in that, i blog about my WoW life on the Courier-Post site.

He keeps his birthday low key, and that’s fine. So Happy Birthday to you, my Wandering Minstrel. We make beautiful music together.
