I'm a lot heavier than I'm comfortable with at the moment. In fact, I took about 50 pictures of myself the other day, hoping to find one suitable for a post I'm whipping up, but I was only mildly happy with two if them. It's that bad. Lin -- Yeah for not being murdered! I think I'll be a big girl for the flying trip. I'm only really worried about the flight home, when I have to put myself in the right terminal at O'Hare. Scary! Maureen -- I'm trying! (See my response to Misty). Maybe by the end of July, when I hope to have dropped 20lbs at least. earthtoholly -- As long as the deer aren't posting pictures of YOU on THEIR blogs, it's all good. mrgrudge -- Hi, Mike! Good to see you! Yes, I'm getting a kick out of meeting so many of my blogging friends in person. You're not so far away, you know. You never know who'll be knocking on your door someday. Glad to hear from you, bud! Momo Fali -- Yeah, I got lucky, didn't I? When I started the hunt, it did occur to me that I might not find one on the road side. But I remembered rest stops had them, so it turned out OK. Geakz -- Yes, I noticed I didn't go with the typical 10-point post. I'm a rebel! And I'm awesome! And deer want me! Master Dayton -- Thanks. PA is such a pretty state. In my area, we have lots of rolling hills, tranquility and .... cows. It was even more beutious where I went. Although cows were suspiciously missing. Musingwoman -- Good, then I'm not alone. Who are all these people making homemade things and pleasing their families for dinner? I don't get it. frostygirl -- That's it in a nutshell! I looked back on it and wondered why I got myself in such a tizzy. Now that I've got that under my belt, the world is my oyster. Mary Wehrle -- The freeway can be very scary. I know people who cannot drive on them no matter what. But you did it! Camping and backpacking are two things I'm not equipped to do, so I admire you for your bravery and your willingness to sleep with bugs and critters and deer who leer. I'm sure Zoe made a great companion and protector. Good for you! Nanny Goats -- It was very cool and I'm wondering how many of my regular readers I can possibly meet. I'm on a mission. And thanks for the compliment. I'm feeling even more awesome now. Misty — How do I explain it? I’m a lot heavier than I’m comfortable with at the moment.
