Update on the 14 challenge, site news

First, a quick update on the 14 challenge...to no one's surprise, I'm sure, I haven't been following it exactly. Or at all, really.

The low carb thing didn't really happen at all, and I managed about 2 of 5 workouts. I did buy a dress, but that's really the only part of the challenge that I stuck to. However, I have lost 3 lbs.--by some miracle of hormones and chemistry, I suspect. Though I have been eating less, if not so much better.

I don't know why I bother to set goals, issue/join challenges, or make plans in the first place. I never follow them, and I don't even really feel all that guilty about it. I guess just because it gives me some sort of guideline I can skirt around the edges of. I don't follow the plan, but I have the plan in mind, so I have something to cheat on. And since I cheat only slightly, I'm still better off than if I had no plan at all. So whatever. 14-challenge, bleh, etc.

And now the site news...having been driven nearly to homicidal despair by spammers, I'm upgrading my MT to do something about my comment problem (the solution to which still may be just turning the comment feature off). This likely means that I'm going to break the hell out of the site, so chances are good that it will be down off and on in the next few days. I figure now is as good a time for it as any, since I don't really have much to say anyway.

But, since I don't want to leave you empty-handed, some holiday favorites:

Christmas - Blues Traveler

O Holy Night - Martina McBride

Right-click, save as, and have a cup of cheer.
