Popping in

Hi! I know I've been MIA and I have like a million comments to answer and I'll get to them, I swear. All is well, just busy.I just wanted to pop in and tell you two things.

ennuis petits: Yesterday, when asked for the URL of the page she wanted to make changes to, one of my web clients responded, "I don't know what a "URL" is. But if you go to www.website.com, and click on X, then pick X from the pulldown menu, what comes up is the page I want." *headdesk* I can't decide if this is better or worse than the woman who wanted me to change her links from purple back to blue.

However, in happy news...les petit joies: Took my brother to the oncologist yesterday, where they reviewed the PET scan he had last week. We got the excellent news that in just 3 months of chemo, the spot in his lung has shrunk from 1.8 mm to 1 mm. This is especially excellent because they think there may be a chance they won't have to do surgery to remove the remainder if they can get it to disappear with chemo alone. Yay!

PANTS!

Old Navy, where have you been all my life? Oh yes, for the last 8 years I've been too fat for you. Ahaha, not anymore! I finally had to give it up and buy a new pair of jeans so I thought I'd go check out the Old Navy because I heard they go up to size 18 (which is the current size of my ass.) So I went and saw that not only did they have my size, but they also have short lengths!

At 5 feet-almost-one-inch, it's really hard for me to find pants that are both wide and short enough. So I found an awesome pair of jeans that I adore, that fit, that feel good, that make me feel good and the best part was I got 'em for under $25. YEE HAW. It was very difficult to limit myself to just one pair, but it won't be too long before I've got to move down another size so I restrained myself. For the record, I've now lost 77 lbs (or 5.5 stone, if that's how you roll) in just over 7 months. I wish it was faster (I know, I know, stfu) but I try to keep the whining to a minimum since my doctor and everyone at the wls community tells me the slower it goes, the better it is for you long-term. I have 53 more pounds to lose, and I want it gone now, dammit! However, I have consoled myself with looking at my before and after pics. I seem to have a waist now. Where did that come from?
