Mom and I went shopping. I got 8 new shirts and 2 new bras. I found out the reason all the bras are shaped this year is because they’re making shirts out of very thin semi-sheer spandexy material and it’s so your nipples don’t poke people’s eyes out. That seems reasonable. So I got one of those bras to go with some of my new shirts. And because nearly all of these shirts have some spandex involved, they will continue to fit me as I shrink further, so it’s all…

clothes
Weighed in this morning. 166. Down 22 pounds for sure. Then I spent over an hour trying on everything, and I do mean everything, in my closet. It very nearly all fits. Most of the stuff I thought was 10s are 11/12s, which are a little snug still. One of my two favorite dresses ever won’t yet zip up, but I think it actually *is* a ten. My other favorite dress (the green one you made me, Mom) fits very nicely. My *wedding dress* fits. My pinstriped grey suit is…
useless angsty sort of rant
Tomorrow is the 6 month mark (counting by Thursdays, if not quite exactly *day* days) of my Lent diet, in which I do not eat sweets. I’ve lost, give or take half a pound, 22 pounds in the last six months, and two jeans sizes. That’s pretty good. I feel much better and I think I look much better. I don’t even hate my hair.

I’ve gotten about a thousand words written and have *some* more to do before I rearrange the whole chapter into something more bearable. And then two more to write, but I have an idea of where I’m going with them, so it should go just fine. That’s the Thursday/Friday goal, those next two chapters. I got my Mandarin painting yesterday! It’s absolutely gorgeous. I unwrapped it, and Ted said, “…Ursula’s going to be famous someday.”…
titles! release dates! squee!
We have titles! Iago gets two out of three; Cyrano gets the other. The books will be THE CARDINAL RULE (Cyrano’s suggestion), THE FIREBIRD DECEPTION, and THE PHOENIX LAW (Fred’s ideas). THE CARDINAL RULE will be out in December 2005. THE FIREBIRD DECEPTION is due out in spring 2006, but more specifically I don’t know. But! I also got a release date on THUNDERBIRD FALLS, which is due out in *May* 2006! That means I’ll have three Walker Papers stories out inside a year, and *five* books out total in…
