Fake Post
by Kym on July 21, 2008
No really. I know I don’t exactly do the fake thing around here, but this post isn’t really a post per se. It’s just a bunch of linky bits to get a few loose ends wrapped up and help me pass the time till I write something real tomorrow.
Oh yes, I’m writing something really extra special for really real tomorrow. You will be aghast at the realness of it.
First, a warning (’cause I’m all about getting the nasty bits over with and ending on a good note). The giveaway for your own autographed copy of J. Scott Savage’s first book in his new Farworld series will be ending tomorrow at noon. You have till then to leave a comment on this post to be entered into the drawing. Good luck!
Now for the inspiring bit (all the best fake posts are inspiring, you know). My dear sweet friend Jo Beaufoix is looking to spread the word. She has a dear friend suffering from a rare disease. So rare that support groups just don’t seem to be in existence. There are people out there who have Pulmonary Haemsiderosis though and she is trying to find them. So if you know of someone, please click the link and get in contact with Jo. And if not, please spread the word and help her help her friend. Many thanks!
And to end off – the good bit! Specifically, the bragging bit! In the past five days I have lost 2.4 pounds. Granted, they’re pounds I’ve lost before and yes, the number isn’t what really matters as it should be about my health and happiness but still…2.4 pounds! Woot!

Looking forward to the realness of something really real, but you never fail to amuse and entertain, real or not. :)
2.4 may sound paltry, but it’s HUGE! (My MIL is hilarious. I told her she was looking GREAT (she’s lost 8 pounds)but her response was so funny. She gets right in my face and says: I’ve been working SO HARD, walking five-six-seven miles a day, eating so healthy, and it’s still ONE STINKING MEASLY POUND A WEEK!) You gotta love her!

Bravo on the 2.4! Seriously, that’s not nothin’! And the title of your post made me chuckle, because I’ve been trying all day to get myself to blog, but my brain is just mush. Sometimes our best intentions just don’t mesh with the necessary attention span, you know?

I have gained and lost the same weight over and over again. And it is ALWAYS worth celebrating!
Great job!

2.4 is A LOT when you think in terms of like, say, a pound of hamburger. Now imagine another pound of beef. Whoa, and .4 more!
THAT is a lot!!! SO, you really should be proud, lady!

And congrats on the 2.4 pounds! That’s a good start there, you’re doing great!

You know what? That’s just about half of a bag of flour. That’s nothing to sneeze at. Congratulations on the 2.4! That’s wonderful!

Congrats on the lost poundage : ) That’s an awesome accomplishment.

Even when you’re “fake”, you’re deeper than the rest of us. How DO you manage that, woman?
And congrats on the 2.4 pounds. I don’t think my scale is as cool as yours… I’d have never calculated the .4 part. Haha. :-D
