Today is the last day of summer. Hey, it may not feel like it, but just for the heck of it, do something summery today. Just because.

Go to a beach...drive with the top down and a pair of sunglasses on...put some suntan lotion...buy a balloon and toss it into the air, and watch it drift lazily away.

Mark the day, and seize every last ounce of summer that you can!

It's called the "turn your life completely inside out" diet

Well, I guess all the sit ups and jogging I've done these past few months are having a positive effect...I just returned from the doctor's office for my annual physical and learned that I dropped eight pounds in eight months--I'm now down to 154. That's about exactly where I want to be, although if I keep up with the running, it may dip lower. Which means--yeah--I can increase the amount that I eat!

I'm going to go celebrate with some Mrs. Fields cookies.

To make things even better, I had another late night conversation with Eliot last evening. Thanks to good advice from SecretsGuardian, my beloved Josie, and, of all people, my sister Kerrie (who I finally "told all" to last night), I'm going to play this one cool as a cucumber, and not appear too eager or possessive. One date a week is going to be all I'm looking for, and just see how things play out. But he does have beautiful eyes.
