TGIF!

I am so glad it is Friday...ok, actually Saturday morning. Ben and I had a great time watching Bill Cosby perform tonight. We also ate a marvelous seafood buffet! Yummo!

I am so cold it is insane. I wore long johns under my jeans to work. Thankfully, I can actually control the temperature in my classroom. (In previous years, I had a thermostat on the wall that was purely an illusion of control.) I know a few of my students think our room is really warm, but I have to keep the temperature bumped up to help me stay warm. This is even with dressing in layers. I know I used to get cold when I was fat, but seriously, I never got this achy chilled to the bone cold that I get now. I guess that is a price to pay in order to be healthy and at a normal body weight.

I read on a blog about a woman who was attending a morning swim class, and there was a lady there with really wrinkled skin. She knew that the woman had most likely had WLS. She was talking about how comfortable she was in her own body. I would like to get to that point. The point where I could feel ok about being out in public without making sure every bit of sagging skin was perfectly covered up.

Tomorrow Ben has a special day planned for us to go out and visit the different spots that were significant in our relationship. It starts at 10:30 in the morning. I am going to get off here and get some rest. I am actually going to put on some makeup and maybe try to at least get my hair to turn under (my hair doesn't curl at all...typically poker straight).

Bill Cosby

My dad and I went to see Bill Cosby tonight. I have respected his work for many years, as he has been such a pioneer in many things. As an educator, I especially respect his work towards literacy and other educational matters.

He was so funny! The man is simply brilliant. At 71 years old, he didn't miss a beat. I really think his entire routine was impromptu. My dad and I had a great time.
