That stinks, Chrissy! You're like that performing juggler who manages to keeps 7 plates up in the air, and then the bosslady comes along and tells you that you could have tossed one a little higher. Stupid management, IMHO.
Jennifer, that must have been a trip to see all that weight melting off that quickly. When it was all coming off, did they have you wear a compression belt of some sort? Anyway, I believe you'll be back into your old clothes. I love Weight Watchers, don't think they can steer you wrong.
Mandy, sorry I missed wishing you a timely happy birthday yesterday *and* the story about the fight you had with your DH. How are things between the two of you now? I know how it feels when you get the apology that you're not quite ready to accept. I think I usually just say "Thank you, but I still need to process things." That way, in case I will more to say on the topic, DH can't accuse me of kicking a dead horse. I guess I get to be the horse's coroner in that scenario. LOL.
To add to the discussion above, I sometimes hear my DH saying silly things too, and just want to scratch my head. Like we have this documentary about big wave surfing and it highlights 3 sites where the waves get over 40-50 feet. Then this morning, my mom asks DH where was the "best place in the world to surf" (also kind of a simplistic question, admittedly), and he took on his know-it-all voice and just rattled off the 3 sites featured in the movie. Not that we'd ever attempt to surf such big scary, killer waves nor would 99.5% of people who call themselves surfers. And it's not like he misunderstood the question, either. He was talking animatedly about what "top" spots they were. I just don't know where that came from. It's not like he feels the need to impress my mom with his knowledge of the world's waves. I think he was just caught up in his own BS. Sometimes I think he catches himself BS-ing when he's speaking and makes the conscious decision to just keep going with it.
OK, totally random, but without telling you who this guy is, do you think he's cute?

I wanted to take the bus up to campus and swat her. This is actually an ongoing issue that she brought up again today. She ignored the fact that that ticket was assigned to another tech. She acts like I'm her personal IT person who must jump as soon as I get an email from her. Then she lies about what I say. Her 1st week there, I started BCC'ing my manager because of how badly the bad user was twisting my instructions. I almost never BCC anyone, ever. I think it's rude. But I also know with some, I need to cover my ass. 
That Bodhi will pose no further problems once he's past his preschool years? We have entered the stage now where the slightest thing sets off the world's biggest explosion. He always seemed to me a really flexible kid, but now it seems like he's throwing tantrums at the drop of a hat. I think it's partly growing pains, partly the stress of potty training (poop training to be more accurate. he has the potty part down), and I think also it's a little bit of show for my parents. His reactions have become overly dramatic, and not Oscar-worthy by any means. We find ourselves calling him out when he's fake-crying quite a bit these days. "That's a pretend cry, Bodhi. You don't have to cry, please just talk to us and tell us what you want. I know you're upset about something, and we want to help you." I just don't know where this reflex to cry/scream first and explain later came from. I know it's normal for this age, but still shocking when your kid starts doing it.
