Disappearing act...

Holy monkey...

The diet's working.  I've lost twenty pounds (maybe more but I think some of it is just normal water retaining fluctuation).  No, I am not comfortable enough with my body to do a before/after pic yet, and I'm still wearing my old clothes (but omg they are getting so loose on me!!), but I see this heading in a very positive direction and hilariously, by this winter I'm going to look GREAT in a bathing suit.  :-)

Oh well.

I'm borrowing this meme from rumdiculous'cause I think it's awfully cute.

Ask me to take pictures of any aspect of my life that you're interested in/curious about -- it can be anything from my favorite shirt to my cell phone to my car. Leave your requests as a comment to this entry, I'll snap the pictures and post them back here. It's like a glimpse into my world!

Though...I kinda do a LOT of picture entries so I can't imagine what anyone would want to see that hasn't been seen already.  

Today it is HOT here...yay for central air.   There's a cold front moving in this afternoon with a potential for some real "wrath of god" storms (but I've heard that so many times this month that I'm not holding my breath).  It'd be nice, because everything is going all brown and crunchy...we haven't had a decent rainstorm all month.

I will be boring and recycle my request from Rumi's version: art supplies/workspace! Because I bet you have a really awesome selection of paints and brushes and leather tools and all that good stuff. :)

Or if that's too boring...pictures of your old Aussies, as I don't think I've ever seen them and there is always room for more cute puppy photos.

Here are a few of Tucker. He was always in motion so I don't have many good pics of him...

Here's Ruby, when she was eight weeks old!

Here she is at about two or three, in her prime.

And here she is at thirteen. Poor old lady.

The work pics are in my other reply. :-) My workspace is so messy...there's nothing glamorous about it!

OMG...I just realized you're new-ish & haven't seen this. Read it at your own risk...I can't because it wrecks me every time. An open letter to my dead pets.

Break out the tissues. *sniffle*

Awwww. *sniffs*

I already gave you the link to my bit on Jake and dog people in chat, so for now I'll leave you with Kinky Friedman's lovely epitaph for his cat Cuddles.

Awwwww. So much cuteness. I love Ruby's coloring, she has much the same red-and-gold palette my old akita/GSD mix had. And you can just tell what a total character Tuck is...I especially love that action shot, he's like a whirlwind given canine form!

And a glamorous workspace is probably one that doesn't get USED much. I'd much rather see an INTERESTING one. ;)
