E:
A. thank you for your compliments. Truly complimentary coming from you...

B. you are right about both food and being hard on myself.

C. Broke up with the boyfriend. It was inevitable and anticlimactic and I'm 98% certain he's got someone else now. I have mixed feelings about it in that I feel that I should have been able to make it work, that I didn't want to make it work, and that he should have tried harder to make it work. Reasonable portions of blame all around. But I also know it was the right thing to do, that it wasn't working - at all - and some of the elements of the brokenness were beyond my control. I am keeping myself from contacting him because I know that i don't want to know what he's really doing. I also have no plans to see him and don't know that i will. So, I guess that is that.

D. Go to gypsy queen for the latest...

I enjoy writing you letters via blog post. Thank you for listening. :)
