Dear Dairy ...

This is my first installment of “Dear Dairy” blogs, which chronicle my frustrations and other anger-management issues at all things dairy and, probably at some point, all things fried. But “Dear Fry Daddy” sounded too kinky for me. Today, anyway.

OK, let’s get started …

Two Thursday nights ago, I started Weight Watchers with my friend Xena. Because we arrived for our first meeting 30 minutes early, we walked across the parking lot to Ricardo’s for a margarita, and chips and salsa. We totally recommend the raspberry-swirled one.

Anyway, we lumber back 30 seconds late to the meeting, walking through the doors as the WW leader says, “So how many of you have eaten out once in the past week?” I don’t think I laughed out loud, but it was possible. Inappropriate chuckles are my forte in uncomfortable situations.

Anyway, the meeting was great, brimming with cool tips and friendly people. If you’re thinking about joining, I’d do so in a hummingbird's heartbeat.

However, if your instincts tell you you’re about to have your heart broken in a relationship, wait a week or two before joining. I’ll fill ya in more next time -- perhaps under the heading "Dear *&$#% Cupid ..."

Peace, love and raspberries … xoxo

Bless your little broken heart. I have been through that myself and lost 75 pounds, however, that was 3 years ago and I'm up 30 now.

I couldn't eat or sleep because of the emotional roller coaster ride he took me on. I don't care how old we are, it still feels like it's the first time.

I am a lifetime member of WW and it looks like I need to return to the fold. It works, don't give up.

You are cuter than a speckled pup, there is someone out there searching for you. I have decided that it's a miracle when two hearts find each other and they both feel the same way at the same time.

And bless YOUR heart, Echo! I'm anxious to get serious about WW, as I joined only a couple days before the bottom fell out of my relationship. But all whining aside, I need to get my butt back in there! I hope you consider that "return to the fold" -- it seems to be a great organization with a high success rate.

Take care of yourself! xoxo

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
