I love this New Yorker cartoon


Trying to remember to post a picture every day.  A teenager reminded me that even if you aren't TAKING pictures, you can always steal them off of the Internet to make your Power Point presentation.

It is just so hard to remember to do the things I have to do to get more fit, like exercise (almost) every day and spend many hours NOT eating.  Scary going to events such as I went to this weekend: a British tea, church refreshments and a girlfriend reunion with LOTS of yummy things to eat, many of which are not on my eating plan. Combine that with the fact that I had no time to exercise over the weekend due to too many events.   And like the guy above, I spend too much time sitting.  I think that is why my favorite activities are driving around and reading (not at the same time.)  I like to SIT!

Audiobook review:  The ten year nap, by Meg Wolitzer, narrated by Alyssa Breshahan.  Perhaps the first book by this author that I have read.  Four fortyish women living in the New York City area find that their lives have not really turned out the way they thought they would.  They meet, they talk, their lives change, they move, they get new friends, they get disillusioned with the new friends.  I always find myself criticizing the readers of these books.  For instance, one of the women's daughters sings the song, Greensleeves.  The reader pronounces it like Greens-leaves.
