lkh_lashouts | Calling all martial artists...time to get your FLOG ON.

I need to make me an icon of a mule literally flogging LKH/Anita and maybe screaming "NAUGHTY KITTY?! WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF DIALOGUE IS THAT?!"

Time for another floggin'. :)

I've been trying to do a blog about Archon since Sunday when we got home, but it just isn't coming.

...mental image means Mavado says "ew." I didn't know blogs could come. O.O

I tried to work today, but my mind was too tired. Not from Archon, but from the year in general. It has been a heck of a busy year.

That's because you're now putting out (pun intended!) HOW MANY books each year??? Seriously, you AND your writing would benefit from it if you'd slow the fuck down and, yanno...had someone EDIT THEM. Or inject a plot. Or smash your hard drive with a sledgehammer.

Someone said, I needed some R and R, rest and relaxation. I told the truth, I do R and H, rest and hesitation. I try to rest, then feel like I should be doing something else, and just move restless from one almost task to another. I relaxed by accident.

You know, they made medications for that. Over the counter, too! :P

It meant that no one got much done, but since most of us had been at Archon this weekend, we were all sort of tired and not in a workie mood.

...yes, you saw that right...WORKIE MOOD.

This is a PUBLISHED AUTHOR??????

We walked the dogs today.

Uhm. Having been an on-and-off dog owner most of my life...dogs need walking every day, usually several times. O.o WTF????

I watched a movie. I talked to people. I drank tea. I enjoyed the sunshine. I enjoyed feeling good, tired, but good.

So she's decided to abuse periods like she does commas??? Seriously, almost all of those fragments could be merged into one or two real SENTENCES.

And that poor misused comma. :P

I'm sitting here in an apron with cartoon dogs on it, having cut up onions, and garlic so Jon can use them in the stir fry he's making.

We care why?

Why all the details? Because I've finally decided to bite the bullet and talk about a subject I've been avoiding.

........................okay, so now she's actively procrastinating. IN A BLOG ENTRY. Wow.

Jon and I lost forty pounds a piece about two years ago. We've kept it off, except for five pounds a piece. It was ten pounds a piece, but we've managed to loose five of that, so thirty-five pounds a piece that's stayed off for over two years.

EGREYKRGWEFREWA LOSE NOT LOOSE. LOSE NOT LOOSE. LOSE NOT LOOSE. Chant with me people. God this woman canNOT spell to SAVE HER LIFE.

How did we do this? We've changed how we eat and drink. It's not a diet, because most people consider a diet something temporary, this isn't temporary. We have changed, permanently how we eat. We have tried to make exercise part of our daily routine. It hasn't been easy, but it has been worth it. We both feel better, as well as look better.

Ironically I suddenly feel awkward because in the past couple months I've been trying to do the same thing...fundamentally change my eating habits. However, I dunno why she feels the need to go into the minutia of how much weight she's lost. :P

So many people have asked how we did it, but I'd avoided talking about it. Why?

My guess is because you're a stuck up bitch. *shrugs*

Because I think we're too hung up on weight in this country, but it's worked for us, maybe it will work for others.

I will agree, the US is very weight-obsessed. Thing is, SO IS LAURELL. Her blog posts have been pretty obvious on how she feels about anyone who's genuinely thin, for example. >:P

I finally decided to talk about this a little when I had a woman at the convention say, that I must not have to work to have that hour glass figure.

Uhhh. Since when does LKH have an hourglass figure? O.o I mean, seriously.

Don't get me wrong, I still have curves. Women are supposed to have curves, not look like adolescent boys with a little bit of chest.

SEE? She's going on about how the country is weight obsessed, then puts down skinny girls. WTF!!!

I encourage all females to lynch her for this.

We tried ballroom dancing, as well, but to get really good you'd need to devote more time to it than we have in the schedule. We're looking at adding something else. Maybe yoga, or Pilates, or martial arts.

Okay, my inner Tae Kwon Doist just suffered a major aneurysm and probably won't survive.

Having taken a couple years of TKD, I can tell you...IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME FOR DANCING, YOU DON'T HAVE TIME FOR ANY SERIOUS MARTIAL ART. Seriously, guys. I love martial arts, and I encourage folks to take 'em up, but they are not "weekend sports." LKH treating it as a hobby that's LESS time consuming than fucking DANCING is a freakin' insult. Really.

I...I think I wanna go curl up and die. If I were prone to praying, I'd start pleading to the Diety that, if she DOES choose a martial art, it not be my precious TKD.

This is my sadface. :(
