Today is the day! I’m finally driving down to Houston this afternoon for my squeeee-kend with M500 (also featuring B and Sir H). YAY!! I’m unabashedly excited. I have packed a buttload of makeup and my black-and-white ensemble for this evening. Amongst other things.

On a whim (and a positive mention by Posh) I am stopping by the Benefit makeup counter here in Austin before I leave town to see what tips they can provide for my look this evening. I dearly love getting tarted up now and then.

When I get home Sunday afternoon and the dust settles, I’ll hopefully have photos to post of some of our shenanigans! Also, it will be time to make big changes to my food intake and my non-existent exercise regimen.

I know I haven’t talked a lot about weight or body image or nutrition or fitness lately, but they all have been gently percolating on the back burner. I’m thinking, and reading, and then deliberately not thinking about these things. Because, let’s face it: only thinking and breathing and talking weight loss is fucking stultifying and sometimes even harmful.

That being said, I just read this piece on how the main influence on weight-loss success is what’s in your head. What do you guys think about that?
