249.5

It tried to go up to 250, but never made it. So, here I am at 249.5, Down 5 pounds from my biggest weight in the past few months. I have been avoiding Krispy Kreme. I am walking faster and skipping the bus. The weather is lovely and I am wearing my orange sneakers and moving my arms and there is blood in my veins and it is pumping. I have basically been doing this thing where I eat 20 points at one meal and 10 at the other. And then fll thegaps between meals with raisins. SO if you know weight watchers, I get 30 points a day. So, I eat a big lunch or dinner and then Subway or Lean Cuisine for the other meal. This seems to be working. I haven't gone on any binges or thought about food too much. I think I might be having a tiny victory.

We have had a good week in babyland. No sickness, some sleeping through the night, but not always. Rachi has one tooth and is working on the second! She is so proud of her tooth, too. Anya has been showing her temper a good deal, though. She likes to hit her head on things when she is mad. This drives me crazy because trying to comfort her gets you head butted. Yesterday she was so mad that she wouldn't stop shoving Cheerios in her mouth. She must have had 5 in there before I could calm her down. To this, I thought... when you are 15, that will be cupcakes and then we will have a problem.

Jeff and I are trying to find time to relax, take care of babies AND promote his new comic book. A surprising number of seamonster readers have bought it, which is so rad! I think more girls will have read it than boys so far and who would of figured that? I have always thought that there was a market for comics for women... not for women, but that women should be reading more comics. Anyway, I hope that anyone who bought it, likes it! It is shaping up to be a cool series and I almost wish that it were a tv show so that I could watch it every week and not have to wait 6 months for the next issue.

We are also still trying to figure out our living situation. The buying is just not going to happen, so we are looking at renting a bigger place that is still in the city, but a little further out. We are thinking of Glover Park. If you have a friend who has a 2 bedroom apartment for rent in Glover Park in August, let me know. For that matter, I would also like to hear from those of you with a house for rent in College Park, Takoma Park or Silver Spring. Doesn't hurt to ask, right? We are looking to spend a measely $1500-$1600 a month (less than we spend now!) Go ahead and laugh. I know it is hilarious. I just saw a 2 bedroom apartment for rent on our block for $4,000 a month. I am not kidding.

So, send me positive food vibes. I hope to keep this up by keeping my mind on other things like comic books and apartments and baby teeth. It is working this week, at least.
