Serious Fucking Happy Dance Time!!!!!!!

Scale reads under 250 for the first time in a long damn time!!!!!

YEAH!!!

I'll be back up at the gym today, swimming laps. I'm going to alternate swimming and walking for now, as I like both of them. First, some house cleaning, then gym time, baby!

I'm inordinately proud of this baby step, truly.

Reposting for Bountifulpots

About a month ago, I bought tickets to Boare's Head Feaste at the Castle in Muskogee, an event which is taking place this Saturday evening. Due to other events, though I will still be in Muskogee, I will not be attending Boare's Head. Would anyone like to buy a pair of tickets from me for the Feaste? Let me know if you would, and we can discuss it in detail elsewhere. Thanks!

So, if anyone is looking to attend Boare's Head Feaste and missed out on tickets, contact bountifulpots. If you've never been to Boare's Head Feaste, it is truly an event to behold. Three hours of solid entertainment and food served by amazing characters. It is completely sold out, so this would be one of the only ways I know to get a ticket.

Scattershot for a Thursday Night

Amber,

You are what you are. What will be, will be.

*deep breath....let it out*

Repeat as often as necessary.

Love you,

Yourself

( Cut for thoughts on weight loss that might be triggering. )

Mom has generously offered to pay my gym membership as long as I keep going steadily, and even said she'd consider paying for plastic surgery after I lose the weight, if I need it. Something to think about. Hopefully won't be necessary, but good to know I have options.

*******************************************

Communication and honesty are good things. Just saying. There's a kind of freedom with being able to talk to people honestly and know they are still going to like you afterwards, that they aren't going to get mad or hold it against you, that they are going to listen and say, "I hear you and I understand."

I'm a blessed girl in this respect.

Post later this evening with final(ish) plans for Saturday night. Look forward to seeing many of you this weekend!

Memories

Oh! Another memory I want to record for posterity from this past weekend:

I was sitting on our blanket, having just finished our picnic lunch, with wenches around me and the head of a guardsman in my lap, when a shadow suddenly falls over me. I look up to see a group of young people standing over me, who I am later informed are gang members in the Latin Kings. I shade my eyes and look up at them, and bid them good day, when the following exchange occured.

Leader: Hey, did you all cake back then?
Scarlet: Cake? Yes, I enjoy cake.
Leader: Nah, do you hug up?
Scarlet: Hug up? Do you mean engage in relations?
Leader: Yeah.
Scarlet: Well, sir, since that is my job, I suppose I do. I am Mistress Scarlet of the Blue Ball Brothel, and these are my wenches. The gentleman in my lap is a client.
Leader: *blank look*
Scarlet: They are my whores.
Leader: *shocked* You mean you a PIMP? *to friends* She a PIMP!
Scarlet: *cocks head to side* Yes, I suppose you could say that.
Teenagers: *UPROARIOUS LAUGHTER and HAND SLAPPING*
Leader: I want that one! *points to bleuberi21
Scarlet: *cue normal defferal and bidding them a good day as they continued on their way*

I thought I was going to burst my bodice trying to hold in laughter when he called me a pimp. Seriously. Too freaking funny.

So take notice, ya'll. I'm a muthahumpin' PIMP. The Latin Kings have declared it so.
