When John was here last weekend he mentioned what great home made french fries his ex-wife used to make. Anyone who knows me for more than 10 seconds can probably figure out that I'd take that as a cooking challenge. Guess who now knows how to make fairly decent home made french fries? I did a second (improved) attempt tonight. I went easy on the fries due to FEAR OF GALL BLADDER ATTACK, but still I feel covered head to toe in fry grease. I'm not going hard core home made with the fries again for a long while. I'm just satisfied in knowing how.
Tonight was the official weigh in for the newest round of weight loss contest at the posh club. I thought I had put on about 10 pounds this summer, and when I weighed in after dinner, fully clothed at the posh club I was surprised to see that I weighed only 9 pounds more than my home scale. Typically I weigh in about 3 pounds more at the posh club, and with the ten pound gain I was expecting 13. But then I realized it wasn't 9 pounds more than home scale it was 19 pounds more and I am hopeful that I ate a 6 pound dinner tonight but I'm not betting any money on it.
Today is the first day I could walk down the stairs pain free. My abs are still feeling it though. Tomorrow I am seeing the stretcher again. I'm a little bit scared. I want to work hard, but I am not interested in revisiting the pain. I suspect I am going to have nightmares about lunges and squats tonight.
I traded in my beloved iphone for a phone with a network that actually does stuff like connects the phone calls when I dial. I hate my new phone. It feels weird. It sounds weird. I hate everything about it. But I am not going back to the iphone until you can get an iphone on a more reliable carrier. I'm taking a one woman stand.
I made a print this morning. I took such a mish mosh of different style of photos over the summer that I didn't really know which direction to go. So I printed up a close up I took of a pig's back that I shot when I was at Hancock Shaker Village. It is kind of cool. I know someone who collects pigs. I wonder if she is looking for some pig art. Is there even a market for pig art? I wonder.
My teacher at the art center thinks I should submit a couple of the kid portraits I did last spring to a juried show that is happening next month. I think I will.
