about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

Ugh! permalink

I got together last night with Hollie, who has a new candy-apple-red scooter. We drove all over East County, or BFE as she refers to it. It was great fun.

Today, I feel like crap. Hollie asked me to take her to my favorite tacqueria, so I did. We got some tacos and horchata, and as usual, it was really really tasty. Now, I'm really, really hoping she didn't eat something off at the tacqueria. I'm trying to convince myself that my stomach upset is due to work stress. And home stress. And animal stress.

Nigella, the photogenic cat, has been a terror lately. I keep hearing these crashing sounds upstairs, or downstairs, so I will gravitate to the sound, and find Nigella sitting there, as if she expected me. This morning, I got out of the bathroom to find her on top of the tv cabinet—the one surface we thought the cats couldn't get up to. She was, of course, behind an irreplaceable statuette that sweetie had picked up in Austin that is very fragile, and was eating lavender, which should mean I'll have some cat puke to clean up when I get home. Unless the dog gets to it first. Ugh.
