My crazy life

I've cut it again since; it's more of a bob now, John's favorite style, up around my ears. The girls have cuts to match! Aren't they HUGE! I can't get over it. Josie is nearly as tall as I am, you can't really see how grown-up she looks from the photos. When I started TNH, she was 18 months old. *sniff*

You look great! It's good to "see" you.

All told from my highest weight, about 40 or so lbs. We just got a tandem bike, so I'm hoping to lose some more. You should see us on this thing, it's HILARIOUS, but it's also the most fun I've had in a long time.

Yesterday we took it for its inaugural ride to the groovy housewares store to get a counter composter; it's all downhill there, and mostly uphill back, and I've dreaded it. This place is right next door to the supermarket, too, and with gas the way it is, I'd love to be able to get the groceries by bike. Anyway, getting there was a piece of cake, and getting home was almost as easy. John is pretty strong and can kick us up the hill with little effort, really, and I can help even if I'm not doing 50% of the work.

This morning we went for espresso about 16 blocks away all told by ourselves and let Josie watch Lou for a half-hour. It was actually fun--really fun! I can't wait to do it again! I'm not even all that winded when we get back!
