"Yeah, I don't have time to eat anymore! I work through the noon hour and by the time I get home and get busy, I look up and it's time to make dinner! I go most days without eating anything until dinnertime. I know it won't last, I'll eventually make time to eat, but who knew I'd lose four pounds just by working?"
"Well, let me just say - I can tell."
"Huh?"
"Just in talking to you on the phone here, I can tell. I can tell that you've lost four pounds and girl, you look good!"
"Have I told you lately just how much I love you?"
I was born a semi-diva. I married a redneck. Through the magic of osmosis or just because of a serious lack of sophistication over the years I have found a balance of the two that make me who I am today. And then I write about it all, much to the chagrin of my mother.

Lori, I think you may have just surpassed Tammy. Y'all need to move up here to Oklahoma so you can boost my self esteem in person!
