Hello my pets...sorry for the days away. I have absolutely no good excuse other than we've had a few days of sunshine here (which is very rare -- huh? huh? What IS that yellow stuff coming from the sky that makes my eyes burn?) and so I've been out and about enjoying it.

So, big news. Today marks one week into The Diet and I am proud to report that I now weigh 133!! Three pounds gone, 7 more to go!

I think I should celebrate with a pan of brownies and a few beers...
