I told my boss something on Wednesday that I am seriously regretting today.  Oh well.  One day, I will learn to keep my mouth shut.

Found out yesterday that one of my co-workers is retiring and the first thought that popped into my head was "Oh, thank goodness". Thankfully this thought did not leave my head

I work as a curator and historian for only 3 days during the week.  The other two days I'm stuck in guest services.  Here is my to do list as it stands now, and honestly, I'm probably forgetting things.  The first 6 items are at ASAP status. #4 is the most stupid boring ridiculous exhibit on the planet. The 7th would make 1-6 much easier if I could do that first, but what the hell do I know, I've only got a master's degree in public history. To be fair, I've done a fair bit of the research, writing and artifact collection for the first one already.

I'm ready for summer to be over, not because of the heat, but because I'm tired of dealing with other people's children in public places.  When I go to swim laps in the mornings, the pool is usually empty and swimmers have three lanes - since school got out, they've only got one lane open for swimmers and the rest is full of screaming children.  The library today was out of control.  Even Starbucks is swarmed.  Bah, humbug; keep those kids off my lawn; and a bazillion other grouchy non-mommy thoughts.

I cannot stop staring at my legs.
Back story, I used to weigh 255 pounds two years ago and now am down at 170.  I still have more to go, it's been a few months since I dropped a pound.
My husband and I have been doing a lot of biking.  We ride our bikes to the grocery store every week at a minimum.  Last week we went to a camping gathering and there was a lot of walking up and down steep hills.  Didn't look in a mirror for the whole week.  When we got back home on Monday I looked in the mirror and noticed my legs.
Definition!  Holy crap!
My calf muscles are well defined and I'm starting to see definition in my thigh muscles.
So yeah, I can't stop staring at my legs.
