Sitting in the "Supplement Lecture," trying to find a way not to slit my wrists.
I’ve not been blogging. This is my mistake, life has been in the way with my parents moving from Kentucky to North Carolina, some personal issues involved in that, their house being built apparently on an ancient VooDoo burial ground, and my inability to cope with it all.
Oh. And my deciding, randomly, to take much of the information that I know about lab draws and tracking laboratory trends and writing a book. 9 days before the Houston OH event. Yes, you saw that. Nine. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. And I did it. But that’s another blog post. Coming. And yes, they will be for sale. Once I figure out how much to charge for shipping, etc. Not the point, MOVING ON.
So, this weekend, the OH peeps were able to listen to the wonderful Connie Stapleton (who I REALLY think needs to do a segment on transfer addictions… PLEASE folks? Please tell her this? It’s a severe problem in our population with “current” numbers at 1 in 3 people being alcoholics and I think the number is VERY soft), the hilarious Mary Jo Rapini, and Bariatric Chef Dave Fouts (who, by the way, is ONE OF US).
But. But. But.
She’s done wondering what it’s like to be liked by everyone, and like everyone be just like anyone, and just wants to be so just like anyone, and wondering what they mean do they just mean to mean to be mean, and thinking about the scene do they just want to be seen, and try not to seem so just like anyone. – Soul Asylum
I’m back from the ObesityHelp Cincinnati Conference and I can safely say that of the now three events I’ve attended? This was, by far, the most fun I’ve had.
And I place the blame squarely upon the shoulders of the BBGC – those bitches.
Cincy!
The OH Cincy event is coming up and it was expressed to me yesterday that it might be nice to have a clearing house for people to help find roommates for the event ($120 for a double, which can EASILY get 2 people, 4 if you don’t mind sharing a double bed with someone).
So to help people find roommates, I’m offering up this page. Leave comments with emails if you’re looking for roommates and maybe you can find someone.
Hey — I understand — finances are tough. I really get it. I’m trying to work out a way to come to Houston. So really? I *get* it.
