So what, you ask, have I been doing in the last 5 days since I posted? Very little, other than living downtown and enjoying the central AC and the cat. Best cat-sitting gig ever.

Also, I appear to be going through a serious girly phase. I'm sure this is no way related to the fact that I am crushing on everyone around me. Of course not! Anyway, last weekend I attempted to buy a whole new wardrobe (although I failed miserably and couldn't find anything I liked), and today I randomly bought a VERY CUTE pair of strappy red shoes. For no reason at all. They were awfully cheap though, and SO CUTE.

And now for the sad news: I have come to the devastating conclusion that sugar is giving me headaches and making me a cranky, moody bitch. THIS IS TERRIBLE NEWS. I love sugar! I adore sugar! I'm not entirely sure I have the capability of surviving without sugar, especially not when I'm using it to replace so many missing things in my life. But, I need to test this hypothesis, so starting...as soon as I finish this bag of candy I was given, I am going to attempt to stay away from sugar etc. for some length of time. As long as I can. Hopefully a week, but I've never made it that long before. All of which is to say that if I say "let's go for ice cream!", the correct answer is to lock me in the closet.

ETA: Really sad news! Chicklit is closing (at least the content part of the site - the forums will still be around for a while). I will really miss it. It's been such a thought-provoking, stimulating, entertaining place. Plus, that's where I met so many of you.

Yay, shoes! :)

That's really annoying about the sugar. The only thing I can think of to suggest is a) diet pop of your choice, if you don't dislike it (I now swear by diet 7UP) or b) other sugar-free or "made with Splenda" prepared stuff (yogurt, cookies, ice-cream bars), with the idea that if it's already a cookie or what have you, you may not notice the absence of sugar?

And I'm sorry to hear about Chicklit - I was never a regular, but I know that it was big for a lot of people. :(

I don't drink pop, which is probably a godsend in this case, but it's the cookies/candy/cake/ice cream that's going to kill me. I'm going to try staying away entirely, if I can, and see if that helps with the headaches etc., and then -- we'll see!

Ah, yeah. Probably best to just cut it out entirely. (If you need it, though, they do make sugar-free sorbets and frozen yogurt!) Good luck!
