S...Why Averil, you look smashing! How's that? <br /><br />Summer's always great for dropping the lbs. I fluctuate 10 pounds every year--like a hibernating mammal, you know? Winter wt/summer wt. Although sitting on my ass to get this baby out, there's an extry rind of fat to work off now. And I'm seriously gonna be in dark chocolate detox.<br /><br />And the baby, she's lovely--but the episiotomy was murder.Suzy Vitellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12836144962952322322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30074355.post-45270567070882704352012-05-16T10:14:10.473-07:002012-05-16T10:14:10.473-07:00Also, congratulations on the new baby!

I'm seriously annoyed with myself for letting it happen, especially since I used to have those waif-like perky Bs. Now my tits are all over the place, and totally in the way. <br /><br />You'll be getting the 'before Portland' view of me, Suzy. A few months from now I expect you to look at me and say, Why Averil, have you lost weight? You look amazing! <br /><br />(Practice that until it comes naturally.)Averilhttp://averildean.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30074355.post-24118678215218301112012-05-16T08:49:12.661-07:002012-05-16T08:49:12.661-07:00I would totally sweat that hard for an official-lo...I would totally sweat that hard for an official-looking, confidence-inspiring, mathematical/scientific plot board for my next novel.<br /><br />Instead, I'll be sitting over here eating three consecutive bowls of cereal and trying to wing it.

And they have hooks in the front so they're easy to get off when you're sweaty. So worth it.

The post-its would be a little less variable though. I've been peeling them off like crazy lately. After thinking I knew the EXACT ending four times, I've yet again changed my mind. I am grateful to whatever scientist came up with that post-it adhesive -- it's so forgiving!Suzy Vitellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12836144962952322322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30074355.post-42795196493675298752012-05-13T21:56:27.956-07:002012-05-13T21:56:27.956-07:00Doubling up!?

As far as sports bras go....I get all that stuff at the Nike outlet store on MLK, and only when they're seriously marked down, so the pickings are sometimes fairly slim.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932287583227778622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30074355.post-44057904415594632222012-05-13T21:08:07.027-07:002012-05-13T21:08:07.027-07:00congrats on the home stretch.
i like doubling up ...congrats on the home stretch. <br />i like doubling up on my exercise bras--but that's probably just me. <br /><br />(i don't know whether to say "congrats" or "i'm sorry" on the husband-dragging-you-to-aerobics-class-at-8:30-a.m. mine woke the kids at the crack of dawn and went out to get donuts before i woke. you'll probably be happier with the after results that i am.)Josephinehttp://www.joseyfritz.comnoreply@blogger.com
