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.

20 Questions


  1. What's for breakfast?

    Coffee and a chocolate chip cookie. I usually have eggs and real or fake sausage instead of the cookie, but I was lazy this AM.

  2. Do you read a newspaper daily?

    If the Oregonian is in the coffee shop, I'll read it. Otherwise, no.

  3. What do you do when you can't sleep?

    Read.

  4. Say a word that sums up your mood.

    Happy feet! Oh, that's two. Excited.

  5. Do you remember your dreams?

    Generally.

  6. Name something from your dream last night.

    I don't remember last nights dream.

  7. Name a food that describes you.

    Pizza: spicy, crispy & cheesy!

  8. Today you are wearing:

    walking shoes (Brooks), camel-colored jeans, a black leather belt, and a grey wool hoodie over a pink printed t-shirt over a black long underwear top (it's always freezing at work. And home.).

  9. What's in your pockets?

    A hankerchief

  10. Did you sing in the shower today?

    I usually do, but not today.

  11. What's the last song you heard?

  12. Looking forward to the holidays?

    I'm looking forward to cooking and having some time that I don't have to come into the office (and I love the winter ales), but I really dislike xmas (especially the commercialization and pressure)

  13. Where do you want to be this instant?

    On my bike, riding around my neighborhood. Or knitting.

    Mostly magazines. Metropolis, ReadyMade, Dwell, Fast Company. Oh, and Jess Hutch's Unusual Toys for You to Knit and Enjoy. But I'm hoping to read some of The experts' guide to 100 things everyone should know how to do, Devil in the details : scenes from an obsessive girlhood, and Ambient Findability this weekend.

  17. What's for dinner?

    Hopefully pizza at Apizza Scholls!

  18. A favorite part of the day is:
    Riding my bike. A couple miles into a long walk. Snuggling with Sweetie. Falling into my work and losing track of time. Getting home from work and being greeted by Sweetie, the dog and all the cats.

  19. Are you happy?

    Right now, yes.

  20. Will your friends do this meme?

    Please let me know if you do.

I did it. I like it because it captures those little details that you don't learn about people in blogs, like what they wear or what they eat for breakfast.
