Your weight is important to me. But knowing your height would help put things into perspective. 😉
Thank you so much for the linky lovey mention.
He’s tiny, squawkfox, about 5’0″ even. I tower over him.
Guiness – I’m not sure if 5’0″ – 179 pounds could be described as ‘tiny’. 🙂
Thanks for the mention! I agree, I don’t think that i could be that frugal if I had that kind of dough!
@guinness416 You sound tall. 😀 Go ahead, tower over Mike. 😀
I’m only 5’7″. But people think I’m taller ’cause I have a “tall personality.” 😀
@Four Pillars Naw, 5 foot at 179 is not really tiny.
My “better half” was 6’1″ and 230 pounds when I met him. Now he’s 167 pounds. I think I left him in the dryer too long. :/
Squawk – wow your hubby lost a lot of weight. He sounds pretty fit!
Thanks for the link, Mike. I’m in full Christmas mode already :).
Belated thanks for the link, and yes, a LITTLE eye-rolling would be appropriate – I’m still operating at something like 70% peak efficiency while working at home with the kids. But I find they have reacted well to my daily morning status meetings and monthly personnel reviews with them… 🙂
