Woohoo! Rent Podcasts. (As in, podcasts about the musical Rent, not podcasts that you rent.) I’m getting the lot. No interview with Adam Pascal yet? I’m waiting…

Less than 24 hours til the Garbericks arrive… They should be getting ready to take-off! We’ve done all the major tidying and Annette’s taking care of the rest today. I just need to do a few more loads of laundry, go to the grocery store, and clean out the litterbox. I’m excited and stressed beyond belief. This is the first time one of my parents has visited me since I left university six-and-a-half years ago. It’s the first time Mom will see my house and get to meet Rodd’s family. It’s the first time they’ve been out of the country. It’s gonna be huge!

My sister just e-mailed me a pic from her first ultrasound. Baby Carbo is doing well, all the right number of parts so far and a good strong heartbeat. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go cry at the momentousness of it all. My own little Sissy having a baby…!

Awww, Carissa Gaghan – everyone’s favorite moppet Racer – is doing recaps of The Amazing Race this season. The really funny bit is that Eric and Jeremy are her favorite team. I guess when the sexual “innuendo” goes right over your head, they’re just cute, doofy guys. (And hey, Tricia, Bill Gaghan will be running the Boston Marathon with you!)

A mouse with amazing healing abilities. Obviously the next step is to graft adamantium to its skeleton, thus creating the world’s first X-Mouse.

Rogue sleeves are off the needles! I repeat, they are off the needles! Now I just need to block the damn things, supposedly.

I feel a surge of creative empowerment. The Pine Street Creative Arts Centre is just around the corner from my house and I’ve been thinking of doing one of their courses for ages. Anybody else interested in doing the Thursday night pottery wheel class with me?

It was just a little over a year ago when I asked you guys about Weight Watchers. Less than a week later I joined. Initially progress was rapid but by the end of the year I was really struggling. Fortunately 2006 brought renewed optimism and energy. Soon I accomplished one of my mini-goals: getting into a size fourteen. Then I sailed past twenty kilos lost on my way to officially not being overweight. The only two goals left were to achieve my Weight Watchers goal weight of 78 (thus qualifying me for free meetings) and then to get down to my own personal goal of 75. And tonight…

I would like to personally thank all of you guys who answered my original plea: Sara, Niffler, Jenny, Aunt Deb, Brigita, Tricia, Max, Andrew, Oolookitty, and Kristine. You guys have changed my life.
