Hit a swarm of bees driving home yesterday.  No kidding.  Plowed right into the middle of a cartoonish-looking black cloud in the middle of a four-lane road.  Then it sounded like heavy rain for a second.  Then silence and 79 (yes, I counted) splatters on my windshield.  And three honeybees stuck in the wiper blades.

Two more keys went out on the piano (:::shakes fist in the air:::), so I called our awesome piano guy who is going to pick my baby up on Friday for a complete lube job on the action.  He'd diagnosed that this may need to be done when he was at our house for the tuning, but wanted to wait to see it we had problems first.  I'ma be without her for a couple of days.  Unfortunately it's over this weekend, when Andy was going to be gone and I would've had the piano allll to myself.  Blast it all.

I lifted weights while watching the Biggest Loser finale.  Hated the lifting weights part, but loved that the winner of the show weighed something like 125 pounds, when she started at over 220 lbs!!  I know I didn't get her weight(s) exactly correct, but I really don't care enough to go look them up.

I observed that now that I've cut chips out (remember they were like 10 - 20% of my daily caloric intake??) and have subsequently replaced them with fruits and vegetables (hey, you know that pickles actually make a decent substitute for chips because they're salty and crunchy?  Once you get over the juiciness.  Someone should really dry those suckers down and make pickle chips.  Anyway...) I'm actually having trouble eating a sufficient amount of calories for the day.  Having trouble.  That has never happened before.  See, told you I wasn't really overeating on anything else...  Plus, my fiber count for the day has gone way up.  That's gotta count for something.
