So, I'm re-using my September set from last year, because of the skyline on the index page. After the WTC last year, I decided that I would use this set every year as long as I keep doing this journal.

Yesterday morning I woke up after having a rather complicated dream about marrying Vin Diesel but not being allow to have sex with him because he was also married to somebody else, and then, for fun, got on the scale and weighed myself, even though I don't have my official weigh-in until Monday.

Eight pounds. I have lost eight pounds. In five days. I have lost the five pounds that I re-gained and another three besides. Eight pounds and I had McDonald's on Friday! Eight pounds with a Pepsi every day! Weight Watchers is the bomb-diggety, as the kids today like to say.

I had a fabulous Sunday bath yesterday, even though it was Saturday, with the Vivente lemon verbena bath salts and gel that I had gotten when I was in Toronto. On my face I used Burt's Bees Orange Essence Facial Cleanser and Citrus Facial Scrub and The Body Shop's Intense Moisture Mask, on my hair I used Archipelago Botanicals Mineral Hair Mask Mud, Origins The Last Straw conditioning shampoo and Lush Forever in Bloom conditioner, and to shave my legs I used The Body Shop's Leap! bath gel.

As far as using anything up, I thought I might manage to get rid of The Last Straw shampoo, however that container is a bottomless pit of shampoo that I will never ever finish. Ever. I'll die with what looks like one more wash-worth of shampoo. However, after shaving the legs, I realized how little Leap! I had left, and so I poured it into one of the scrubbies that Cynthia got me for my birthday and then actually used body gel in order to wash my body, which I rarely do what with all that soap I need to use up.

So I finally used up my Leap! body wash! You know when I got it? Almost exactly five years ago. Proof positive that I have too much damned bath stuff. Notice that I mention getting the body powder as well. Still have plenty of that!

And I bought some more. Because I cannot stop myself.

I decided to look for Tipton Charles online, since they no longer carry it at Portico, or anywhere else in New York for that matter, and what do you know, there it was!

And o God, I bought stuff. I got the Dead Sea Mud mask and the Ultra Rich Hand Cream and a whole bunch of stuff scented by lemon verbena. Because one cannot have enough different products scented by lemon verbena. I imagine, at any rate, because I just keep buying them! Lemon verbeeeeeena...

Y'know, it really pisses me off how Jessie has apparently stolen my life. She has the great relationship, the great house, she doesn't work in an office, and now she is going to Iceland! My Iceland!

Not to mention the fact that she is has all of this while having the nerve of being ten years younger than me, which is frankly, just showing off as far as I am concerned.

Today's horoscope:
Time for fun with a partner. Plan a joint escape or some activity you can both enjoy together. Double your fun!

One year ago today:
"Keep Your Fucking Cakehole Shut, Nobody Paid $9.50 to Hear You Yap".
