about
I’m in my mid-thirties, happily married to John, and adore my dog Seamus. I’m extremely liberal, a vegetarian, and somewhat opinionated. We live in Maryland, north of Washington DC. I have a job that I love, but that I try not to talk about in detail – there was an incident, once, and I’d like to stay employed. While getting treated for infertility, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. Now I'm very focused on getting fit. I started blogging in part to keep in better touch with my far-flung friends, and had no idea how many new and interesting people I’d meet on the Internet. And now you’re one of them. So… hi!

Top Chef is back! My current favorite is the Hawaiian guy, Eugene. I liked Stephanie right from the start last season, so that could be a good omen for him. We'll see.

I humbly apologize

That last post is proof that I can’t turn a partially formed thought into a coherent piece while also watching the debate and commenting on every answer while also trying to come up with a smartass funny fake answer to each question. I struck gold on a few of those, but unfortunately, my concentration was not on my writing. And on top of that, I had gotten up early to get in a pre-work exercise session and then went to kickboxing class after work, so I was tired. Instead of the intelligent and insightful post that was in my head what came out was kind of an incoherent mess. Sorry.

I really do need to start making some sort of morning exercise a regular part of my routine, because while I feel like I get stronger and more fit every day, I am not losing any damn weight. I already work out most nights after work, so mornings are all that are left. The problem being that I hate mornings. Yesterday I meant to get up and do 30 Day Shred (30 minutes that will kick your ass like you wouldn’t believe) but I was so sleepy I was worried I might do myself bodily harm. Confidence was high that I’d whack myself in the head with a hand weight, and wouldn’t that be a crappy way to start off my day. So I rode the exercise bike instead. Good, but not as good as 30 Day Shred. It’s just so dark out in the mornings now. My internal clock is set to dark=stay in bed. This morning I didn’t quite make it out of bed early enough, but I’ll try again tomorrow.

Speaking of today, apparently today was Bosses Day. My team took me out for a surprise manicure, which was very sweet. I now have freshly manicured fingernails painted a loverly shade of dark blue. My team rules.

It was bosses day? I'm kinda bummed that no one told me...like my employees.

I have a hard time thinking about exercise in the daylight but first thing in the morning? Eh, no way! I like me some sleep!
