I dogsat Friday and Saturday nights. Which was fairly easy and rather nice to get out of the house for a while, after my dad blowing up at me Thursday night after I innocently reminded him that I'm going out this coming Saturday for a dress fitting for my friend's wedding - which will be in July. And it was all the normal, depressing stuff about how I'm not trying hard enough to lose weight and I'm going to get sick and I'm being selfish for not losing weight and stuff that I should be immune to because he says it ever time he gets riled up, but somehow it still hurts. One of these days, I'm going to come up with a good response for all of that.
Though, I think my favorite part of my dad's tirade (since it is actually quite predictable) is when he says I'm going to get diabetes because it runs in the family. And I have to try really hard not to laugh. Yes, I know I'm at risk for Type II diabetes (adult/overweight diabetes). What my dad's referring to is my uncle's Type I diabetes (aka, juvenile diabetes - which I would've gotten already, if I was going to).
And we had our neighbors over last night for New Year's Eve. So, nothing special there.
Today we had a bunch of people over for the traditional New Year's Day dinner of pork and sauerkraut. (It's a German tradition.) So that was fun.
And![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eternalmusings and I found out that we both got similar cameras and photo printers for Christmas.
Yeah, so I got it done Friday night. I still haven't quite gotten used to it, but it's kinda fun so far. Espeically everyone's reactions, since only a couple people knew beforehand.
I got 21 inches taken off.

Oh, and I am trying to avoid it! I'm just not doing a particularly good job at the moment. (But I have a feeling things are going to be getting better.)

I think it's a glitch in the parental brain; the trigger gets tripped and the whole loop has to cycle through.
