Mat Johnson: Pym: A Novel
So far this book is everything. Like, everything in literature and exploration and culture all taken in and then spit back out like a serrated knife through soft butter.

Dense, with valuable ideas on every page.

Yes, he's reading this huge academic tome. A friend gave it to me, and when I handed it to my son he said, "I've heard a lot about this dude! Cool!" Nerdtastic.

He's ripping through this one.

first? only?
anyhoo -
kitchen cleaning - meh. I was in a mood today. I did all sorts of fun things - go to stitch 'n bitch, get my glasses fixed (not fun, but really wirth it), do some sewing, but I was still cranky. I think I need spring to come already. It snowed 3 inches yesterday. so, I didn't clean the kitchen. i spent the time irrationally yelling at my husband instead.
sex - but apparently he is psychic and figured out I just needed to relax a little, so initiated again - that's twice in a week, for anyone counting. This hasn't happened since before the baby was born. Thank god for psychic husband's who're inexplicably attracted to crabby wives.
t-tapp - final day of 14 day bootcamp. I've woosed out a little the past few days by only doing BWO+, instead of total workout, but my lats are really sore and I have to carry a 26 pound baby around all day. I measured again today and am finally seeing progress on my abdomen. I looked at my measurement record and it seems that I lost a LOT of inches the first two weeks - like 10 or 11, but since then it's been a lot slower - 2-3 inches every two weeks. I shouldn't complain, but I'm a little disappointed about the slower pace. On the other hand, I do feel loads better, and haven't been to the chiro in ages, and I have been eating poorly, so it's to be expected. Of the inches I lost during this bootcamp, .5 was waist, .5 was pecs, and 1 was abdomen. And that's where I need to lose it most. So yaay, t-tapp, even if it's not as dramatic as I'd like...

Way to go SUE (for the sex and the inches lost)!
I haven't done anything in the last 2 days so at least you did the BWO+. Now you have motivated me to get back to it. No excuses tomorrow!
Now that I have figured out how to get my 15 min of exercise a day, it is time to work on eating. I should be much bigger than I am with the way that I eat and if I continue on this way, I will be very unhealthy. Time to cut back on sugars and fats and try the GM plan. I'm still nursing so I am not going to be unrealistic, just put more energy into healthy snacks around the house.
My veggies weren't bad today and neither was being nice to hubby.

way to go SUE and Mommy-O, I admire you both for just writing your comments!
i've been off and on the wagon, but did go see a naturpath for little one and i; i'm still nursing and she's past 14 months and sucking the life out of me, need to make sure i'm putting enough of the right fuel in this body of mine.
patient husband has not had the physical love he deserves, so maybe i can cross that once a week of initiating off of my list by tommorrow at 10pm. : )

So, this would be for Friday...
1. No yoga, but I did yoga Thursday night.
2. HFCS... eh. I'm guessing the pizza I had for lunch had some in it, but none for breakfast or dinner.
3. Organic fruits and veggies... Well, I made an apple pie out of organic apples, so that's pretty good.
SUE - I love this: "Thank god for psychic husband's who're inexplicably attracted to crabby wives." that's probably the real reason we have sex regularly in my house!

Evidently this semester has decided that my goals are not going to happen. Stupid school!
But, the sex has increased. I guess we just needed a kick start. It's totally one of those things where once it started up again we wondered why it hadn't been going on all along.

wowo!I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment

But, the sex has improved. I think we just required a boost. It's completely one of them where once it turned on again we considered why it hadn't been going on all along.
