190.7

I weighed in on Monday at 190.7. Damn that .7! I’m still holding on to the majority of the one hundred and ninety first pound. Am I even justified in saying I weigh 190?! Who knows what the scale would have read had I not done my weigh in ritual of "dropping the kids off at the pool" (as they say).

You know what I love to do? I suspend myself between the sink and the towel rack and hold myself so that the scale reads 120. I relish the moment and fantasize that it’s really happening. That is, until my body starts to tremble under the weakening strength of my arms. Then for the rest of the day they retain the tensile strength of spaghetti. But I never mind, because for that brief moment, I was living the dream baby.
