Go China. :) We got a new toilet seat. The one in our bathroom was a squishy one, and it developed cracks in it, so we went and bought a wooden one (the only porcelain/plastic ones they had didn’t come in the right color). Now, because the wooden seat has no squish to it, and therefore is, I don’t know, a 1/2 inch or 3/4ths inch lower than the previous seat, if I am not actively paying attention when I sit down (which, y’know, generally I am not), I have…

oot!
I managed to weigh in at 195.5 this morning. I’m not quite sure how that happened, but I shall try to continue the downward trend!

updatey
Okay, I’d better update my webpage before my husband starts complaining that I never tell him what’s going on with my life anymore. :) Yesterday, I tried to go to lunch with my Mom and an old friend, Sam Perera, who was an exchange student from Sri Lanka at KCHS and whom I re-met in college.
