Odds and Ends

If you have been to Maxwell Smart's photo album, you know that he recently went to a family reunion. I thought you guys might also like to see a video from the day.



I've added a couple of new things to the blog. First of all- I put a link to my friend Sarah's weight loss surgery blog on the links list to the right. I also added a weight loss tracker at the bottom for any who are interested in following that saga. And, I'll go ahead and say that the goal of loosing 150lbs is pretty close to arbitrary. It is a nice round number. The last time I was at a weight that would be "normal" for me now - I was in elementary school. I have no concept of what a good normal weight is for me as an adult.

With my last post, I realize that I may have come off as not wanting to talk about my surgery, which isn't really true. It is just that it feels weird somehow to bring it up randomly. I've never walked into a room and said, "Guess what everybody! I'm on a diet!" It isn't that I wouldn't want anyone to know that I'm on a diet or not want to talk about it. I just wouldn't bring it up. Now, I know that major surgery is something that people tend to make a point of mentioning to their friends - but in my head, I'm thinking of it like a diet.

One last thing: I've set up a new photo album called Mommy and Max that will have regular photos of me and Max. The idea is that over time you will be able to see me get smaller and Max get bigger. At this point, I don't think either effect is noticeable, but at some point I'm sure it will be.
