some say it’s a game of skill
maura @ 8:38 pm
I’d meant to do some work tonight, but I’m tired and we have three (3!) freshy-fresh movies from Netflix AND our friend’s new TV show starts tonight so maybe not. And tomorrow is another day. Plus, Jonathan just whipped up some cashew brittle, woot!
But, so as not to leave you in the blurch (blog lurch), here’s the Mauraweb! Index of Today:
Today’s wake-up time: 7:06am
Today’s weather: sunny, clear, high 74F (but it was dang sunny + felt warmer on the playground, see below)
Today’s clothing choices: spring green w/white + yellow daisies pants from high school (!), purple tshirt, red sneakers
Today’s incidental household chore: one load o’ laundry
Today’s job search goal (completed): send in an application for an adjunct position
Today’s work: freelancing for my former employer
Today’s lunch: leftover tofu, broccoli and red pepper stir-fry
Today’s admission of error: as it turns out, the new Shins record really is quite good
Today’s caffeine intake: 1 cup of coffee, 1 cup of tea, 1 iced coffee
Today’s afternoon activity: playdate at the playground
Today’s question: is rhubarb a fruit or a vegetable?

Full disclosure: the pants *were* too big in high school, even though I wore them anyway. But I used to wear my clothes too big back in the day, which I cannot STAND to do now.
And you have Little Miss Sunshine! I lost practically no weight from when Gus was born til when he was about 1 and finally seemed interested in solid food.
I have to admit that those pants are excellent, I am so glad they fit again. I will send you a picture — they are very very loud!
Yeah, yeah, I know, big 80s clothes! I think I remember those pants.
It’s not just the weight with having babies (tho there IS that) — it’s the fact that they move parts of your body around while they’re inside you, and those parts don’t snap back. Also having 2 in less than 2 years is crazy in so many ways, not in the least that I resemble a marshmellow. Still I thought feeding babies was supposed to lose the mom 500 cals/day. Maybe not.
Plus I celebrated your pants by eating a Buster Bar. We are a mere 10 minutes (if that) from a DQ here. Life is tough in the city.
Yay for ice cream — good calcium, right? :)
Oh, man, pants from HIGH SCHOOL?!? I hate you soooo much.
