I misquoted libralyte last night. She actually said, "Bond is supposed to be a bit of a pussy, but I want to stick my tongue down Daniel Craig's throat."

libralyte and I watched License to Kill this morning. It was definitely a cheesy '80's Bond.

The trip up and back to take her home went quite easily, and I even got to chat with her sister, lixta for a bit, even if libralyte got a bit upset at us because we ended up talking about "Buffy", "Angel", and SG-1 and SGA.

After I got home, though, my dad got on me again about the whole weight issue and I do understand where he's coming from, but it's still a pain to hear it again, especially when I am trying. And it's also hard when I say "all right" throughout the conversation so he knows I'm listening and he gets upset at me and thinks I'm being sarcastic. And what really hit the nerve tonight, though, was him saying that I could be mad at everyone else in the world, but that I wasn't allowed to be mad at him - he was off-limits. I'm sorry, but WTF?

I have no idea why your dad said you weren't allowed to be mad at him. I fully realize that I do and say stupid things to my kids and they so have my permission to be mad at me. (They don't have my permission to cuss at me. I will definitely fly all over them for that. Which is NOT to say I think you cussed at your dad. It's just a general thing for me: No cussing at your parents.)

The weight thing is (bad pun alert) weighing on me, too. I'm still doing the WW and still staying within my points. Unfortunately, I've been unable to exercise for weeks and months (as soon as I get over one thing, I get another danged thing. Buggeritall.) and I just canNOT get any weight off when I don't exercise. I'm not gaining, thank goodness, but the M M M M is killin' me.

Yay for the NaNo Wordage!

Dear, I know I didn't say much about this on my trip down. (It's vacation, and it's supposed to be fun.) But, you just really, really need to tell your father off. You are not a child, you are a twenty-five year old WOMAN, and you do not need to be lectured, and you most certainly CAN get angry at him. I think you should just confront him on the whole issue. Write down what you need to say if you have to, but make it perfectly clear that from now on, the topic of your weight is off-limits, as are comments about your eating choices. Do it NOW, otherwise he will just continue to hound you, which is not going to help with your weight issues or your self-esteem. I am always available if you need moral support/help planning what you are going to say or if things don't go well and you need a place to hide for a little while.

Oh, I know. I know.

And the sad thing is - I've tried confronting him and it hasn't helped yet. (At least partly because I'll almost always back down first.)

And thanks. :-)

Also - thanks for the video. :-D

Don't worry - I don't cuss at my parents. :-)

And the thing that my dad seems to have overlooked is that since getting my laptop, I've been going to the gym *more*.

Thanks. Now, if I could just finish it in time. :-P
