Read on Lovers…learn from a pro!
Admirer: “You’re beautiful AND delicious.”
Me: “Oh yeah? What’s the difference between the two?”
Admirer: “Well, you’re so beautiful that I want to stand like 10 feet away just so I can look at you from across the room. But you’re also so delicious that it makes me want to get close enough for a treat.”
Cheesy? Maybe. But I’m saucy…so he got lucky.
Thanks Favorite!
The following is evidence for my friends that proves that I am in some kind of time warp.
A real conversation that took place today.
This will explain why I never seldom call back in a timely manner, forget birthdays, seem to disappear, and other such happenings. It’s not that I’m not able to or that I don’t care. . . I am simply just too busy to pay attention to silly things like time or days.
Maybe I should be on Lost . . .
That’s exactly all I have right now . . . just one. This post is just to apologize to all of my loyal readers (all 3 of you) for not posting anything the last few days. The Pea has been going through some major milestones this last week (sitting up by herself and eating solids) and it has, for some unknown reason, made her very demanding of my time and energy. She even wants to hang out all night (that’s right . . . she hates the sheep).
Well, time’s up. I’ll be posting something barely worth reading soon!

So Operation Chisel was initiated as of 15:00 yesterday. I am almost 6 months postpartum and I’m just now getting enough freedom from my little monkey to get back into a work out routine. It’s not that I haven’t been exercising since Chick Pea was born, but this will be the first time that I can actually work out regularly at the gym. So far, I’ve been going to yoga every week and I was walk/running 2-3 times a week up until a couple of months ago because it got too cold. I know, I’m a huge wimp – but it’s because I’m an equator baby and I haven’t lived in cold weather before!
I’ve always been fortunate enough to have been blessed with one of those fast metabolisms; the kind that make people women hate me because I can eat whatever I want without gaining weight. So even though I gained 40 pounds while pregnant, I’ve been back to my pre-preg weight for a few months (breastfeeding can also be thanked for that – it rocks!). But I am very out of shape . . . and the holidays didn’t help!
So this post is not intended to brag about my great genes, its purpose is to put this mission in writing in an effort to make me stick to my regimen so that I can look cute in the denim variety. Being healthier is nice too, but blah blah blah – looking cute is better.
Heymann, if you’re out there . . . it’s on!
Mr Favorite pointed out to me that we start a lot of our conversations this way. I hadn’t thought about it before, but he’s absolutely right. We’re always sharing new things we learned about that day. Granted, included in these daily updates are useless tidbits of information regarding some scandalous famous person that did something stupid. Yet most of the time we swap worthwhile info on various topics. We also noted that many people around us don’t use that term very often. Especially when I started thinking about many of my former co-workers in the so-called learned field of education. Or maybe it’s just that people take credit for the things they discuss and pass it on as their own opinion/knowledge. Either way, it made me wonder . . . do people (besides bloggers and blog lurkers) ever read just for the sake of it anymore?
I’ll readily admit that I don’t read actual books that much anymore. Not because I don’t enjoy them, but because I tend to get obsessed with books. No matter how interesting or boring a book is – I have to finish it once I start it. And I’ve never been the kind that could read a couple chapters of a book each night or a bit here and there as time allowed. No – once I start, I basically ignore everything and do nothing except read that book until I finish it (this usually means that I’m out of commission for a day or two). It also gives me the added pleasure of irritating those around me who desperately vie for my attention. They try so hard to tear me away, only to get painfully ignored. In the case of gossip magazines I average about an hour, so it’s not that bad (right, Stef?).
As much as I’d love to lose myself in a good book, I just don’t have the luxury of time to dedicate myself to a book the way I’d like. So instead, I just read online . But I do read, and more importantly, I learn everyday. Because isn’t that the point – even if it’s just for entertainment??? I think it’s sad that some people don’t like to read and avoid it as much as they can. I can’t imagine purposefully turning away new information or not seeking it out.
