My Life, As Told Between (Baby Cakes') Naps

Interesting article on the politics of fat.  Apparently there’s an underground pro-fat group that disrupts Weight Watcher’s meetings.  Who knew?  Anyways, maybe I’ve bought into the diet industry’s propaganda, but I just can’t believe (as much as I would like to) that being overweight isn’t unhealthy.   

Yesterday’s run was fantastic!  Perfect California weather.  Impending foot pain never materialized (thank you new shoes!).  Running friends all showed up (I have running friends!).  Chatted the entire run (incredible how much more quickly time passes when engaged in conversation).  Was not forced to run behind guy with weirdly long strides (therefore disrupting the stride of anyone unfortunate enough to be caught behind him – kind of like a running doppler effect).*

Went to Ikea yesterday.  Roomie appears to be going through a nesting phase.  She does this periodically.  Very odd.  At least she bakes banana bread when nesting.  Am addicted to the stuff.  Am pro-nesting as long as it keeps me in banana bread.

Should also do some work today.  Am keeping fingers crossed this will actually happen.  Otherwise, may be forced to weep copiously to get out of trouble for lack of progress on major assignment.  Am a girl like that.

* Assuming I have an inkling of what the doppler effect was.  Which I don’t.  Again, am a girl.  (FYI, I’m reading Planet Simpsons, which discusses how The Simpsons defined a generation and am in the midst of a chapter entitled Lisa Lionheart.  Simpson watchers will know what this means and how it relates to the just a girl references.  Non-Simpson watchers, well, what’s wrong with you?!)
