I'm Back!!

And jet-lagged. I spent all day yesterday travelling. But I had an amazing time! W and I went to the Natural History Museum, Victoria and Albert museum, Tate Modern, British Museum, the National Gallery (and saw the Delaroche exhibit - awesome), the Tower of London and saw the crown jewels (which they have put one of those moving walkways in front of, so people can't stand and gawk at the jewels, taking up room, LOL!), the Victoria and Albert gifts exhibit at the Queen's Gallery in the Buckingham Palace (one of my favorite things on the trip), Westminster Abbey, and took a Jack the Ripper tour. We also did a lot of shopping, but I tried to curb my spending somewhat, since the exchange rate is so bad! I spent a fair bit in Cath Kidston, though, since her stuff isn't over here. I got some duty-free stuff in the airport too - love it! - a Longchamp bag to replace my old one which is stained and the lining is shot, and Coco Mademoiselle perfume by Chanel. I took lots of pictures and I will post the best ones as soon as I upload them from my camera. Unfortunately, I don't have many of myself, because I was the one taking the pictures, and the ones I do have are all of me wearing my long wool coat. But I will still post them :)

I weighed myself this morning, and I was up 2.5lbs. to 121.5lbs :/ But I know that it will come off very quickly. I am sure a lot of it is me retaining food and fluids, because I didn't poo much on my trip. I am never "regular" when I am away from home. I don't really know why; maybe different food, or I feel less comfortable in my surroundings? Who knows. So today I have gone three times, each time a pretty large amount. Yikes! I didn't realize all that was in my intestines!

Please excuse me not commenting on your blogs yet. I am working on catching up on all your blogs and all the entries I have missed; it is a large task! I still need to unpack too, and school starts back up tomorrow, so it might take a little bit for me to get current again lol.

I will do a longer post tomorrow, but I am SO tired. Goodnight, chikadees!

Love you, Skinnies!
