Today in History

[flowerbug]

one year i was living with someone who had a plate of corn chips and cheese every night. i gained 15lbs... the most i ever weighed. it took me a few years to get back to better.

weight is sneaking back up there now with Mom making too many goodies and me being too stressed so i'm eating a lot more than i should. uck. i hate it when i get too heavy. it makes for a miserable summer of gardening. time to plug up the pie hole (after i make some tapioca pudding to try out some new vanilla - which i hope shows up this week and is good and close to what i wanted).
