My trainer tells me yesterday I've gained a few pounds - not in a bad way, he said it was good weight, in my chest and my shoulders. I weighed myself as soon as I got home, and I've actually hit 170, which is a lot for me. For the most part I've been between 160-165 for about the last 8 years. Of course my goal is not to lose or gain weight, it's just to tone and look better.
2 weeks until Vegas. 2 weeks from yesterday to be exact. I just wish business was busier, but I have an appointment coming in about an hour, then I should have at least 2 tomorrow. I'm not doing badly.
I had an interesting conversation with my mom last night. My parents separated when I was 17, divorced finally when I was 23, didn't see each other and hardly spoke from 2000 to 2007, and then my dad decided to stop being bitter and let the past be the past and just be friends. We had Christmas all together for the first time since I was a teenager last year. But now my dad is saying he doesn't want to be friends with her anymore. That he doesn't think it's fair that he pays her alimony. He's right, but he's wrong. It's not that simple. I just hope he comes to his senses. I should talk to him soon.

I mean they should have gotten divorced YEARS earlier, but I think they wanted to stay together for us kids. (Or at least until we were old enough to deal with it.) When they announced it to us kids I was like "FINALLY" but my younger brother and sister really struggled with it.
We had a family BBQ about a month ago, my mom, her new bf, my dad, his "domestic partner" (girlfriend), it was only really awkward for me and my sister...
As for the alimony issue (rant spoilered)
At the same time, I know families where the mom was a stay a home mom, who realistically would struggle desperately in this economy to find a job, let alone one that would support her, and I think it makes sense in that sort of situation...
