Ciao Bella!

Update of Random Things

The German lost 16 pounds total! That means our collective weight loss is 136 pounds. WOW!

Sassy and Slowburn are expecting another! WOW!

My dad ROCKS...his aneurysm hasn't grown, and I'm so happy that he's shining on. WOW!

We leave for Europe in two days and Blue Ryder will fall silent. WOW!

I get to see the Baby Ian tomorrow. WOW!

Still need to pack. Made some lists. Stocked the house with Ryder's favorite foods. WOW!

Bought more Memory Cards for the trip for MEGA photo taking. WOW!

I'm gonna get REALLY used to saying, "Ciao Bella"! WOW!

A new LOST episode is on! WOW!

I love weddings. I love dancing at weddings. I love the feeling of the closest friends ever surrounding the couple they love with joy, love, hope, and tightness. We all share a very unique closeness that I love, and I can't wait to be completely surrounded by it again. WOW!

Shit, I'm gonna really miss my son.

And the Winner is...

THE SEED!!! Dun dun da dahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Yeah, we knew he'd win.

Whatever. He deserves the 20 bucks from each of us!

So here is some seriousness: WE collectively lost 120 pounds. And that is not including the German. Is that insane or what?? We built a Sherpa and an extra arm. We built a full person with the fat that we all lost. Fuckn nuts you crazy assholes!! Good job! We are now officially ready for Italy.

I would also like to make special note of the UNSUNG HERO in this game...Browser Metrics. He faithfully, every week- starting from week one....FAITHFULLY sent in his numbers to me, I never had to bug him, or pester him, or make rude phone calls right before bed! He also never complained, called this game "stupid", or "fucking unjust"....and he was always in last place. A true competitor! He ALSO gave us the Fat War Calculator. I mean really. He rules.

Just Waiting on Beefcake

So, I'm sitting here waiting for Beefcake to give me her and The German's final numbers for the Fat War. In fact, every Tuesday night since the Fat War started, I've always been waiting on Beefcake. She's probably just goofing off...

She's probably doing a little bit of this.....

and sliding off a little bit of that....

Guess we'll just wait til tomorrow to post the Final Numbers!!!

We can all thank Beefcake!

A Tease

The Seed and I spent an evening with King Belvedere. We partied like rock stars. They kicked ass like rock stars. And we got some great pictures to show you. We have so many...but...here's just ONE.

Walk in..Rock out!

Please?

Please pick ME up? Love you? Kiss me?

One Stiff Drink During the Day

"Fell intooooo....

a sea of grass.....

and disappeared among the shady blades..."

Jane's Addiction

I won't judge anyone who wants to take a few, big, fat, shots of

any sort of mind-numbing alcohol during the day anymore.

I won't do it.

In fact, I'm gonna join them.

What I Think About You

"You're a turd... a stinky f-fat turd, go sniff a jock strap, you poop head. You love patting boys' butts... butt... you butt-patter! You're a perv... and a loser... and a stinky t-turd!"
