good heavens!

Good heavens! A Starling appeared online tonight! I’d just been thinking about her yesterday, and lo, today she has arrived! Apparently she’s got a new job, a new car, a new class schedule, a new cell phone and is thinking of a new horse. Which is typically mad.

So I’ll just celebrate my own damned self without any pretty words. I have, since October 7th, now lost 20 pounds. That’s a pretty significant milestone, and I’m pretty happy about it. Ted said to me last week, “Catie, those pants are falling off your butt!”–and those were the size 12s! And Shaun said, quite tentatively, a couple of days ago, “You look like…
