Dessert at Cheesecake factory: dulche de leche caramel cheesecake. ohmygodtodiefor I'm not even going to THINK about how many points it was. I'll figure it out tomorrow, while I'm eating carrot sticks. LOL In other news, I bought a little remote control car – it's so cute! Only 3 inches long and Max is really puzzled by it. Heeee!

Testing new client… If this works, I have switched to LogJam…. KLuJe, while it has a kickass name, doesn't detect music from XMMS. BTW – I HAVE MUSIC AGAIN!!! Damn, it's been forever. Winamp royally trashed my pc every time I tried to play it. My husband is the BEST!!!

Starting weight: 291.8 lbs Last week: 262.8 lbs This week: 258.8 lbs Loss this week: 4.0 lbs Total loss: 33.0 lbs Loss rate: 1.36 lbs/week Flex points left: 9 Yay! Gain last week gone and then some.

It stores nearly all of the country's reserve of about 5,000 “secondaries,” the thermonuclear hearts of hydrogen bombs. When a team of Y-12 rent-a-cops racked up a perfect score during an antiterror drill June 26, officials there were shocked. How could the guards have performed so well, they wondered, when a computer model had predicted that the defenders would lose at least half of their confrontations? The answer was simple: The guards cheated. They had seen the computer models of the strikes the day before they were launched, rendering the…

OK. Mozilla – web browser. No change, been using that for a while now. KLuJe – livejournal client. So far, so good. Although it makes me do links and stuff by myself waaaaah! Hope it will pick up music from whatever I'm supposed to use. Kmail – email. Um. I actually think I like it. Dammit, and I just bought Agent. Pan – usenet. Um. I might like it.
