Random disconnected thoughts:1.
Today my niece showed up with boobs.
She's twelve. Girls HAD boobs when I was twelve but I was startled. She looks exactly like the boys. And like my brothers. And father. And uncles.
But with boobs.
Disconcerting.

I don' like the menu at Thanksgiving. Don't like mashed, don't like ham, don't like turkey. Usually I like the stuffing but my dad won't keep it simple...and he likes onions. They forgot the squash in the microwave, and I forgot my lactaid. So this year for dinner I had bread and butter, 12 cookies, custard pie and sunchips.
I'm still kind of hungry but I'm saving my sisters lasagna for Ellie's lunch tomorrow. See the sacrifices moms make.

I joined a 10000 steps a day challenge. It's 10K a day for 6 weeks. At the end you're not supposed to have gained any weight from the holidays. Today was the first day. I walked 3.5 miles this morning which somehow only translated to 4000 steps on my pedometer. Bitter? Party of one, if your shoe fits...
I believe I was led to believe that it's 2000 steps per mile.
At this writing I've logged 10540. That's thanks to my husband who brought my Original Nadia Comaneci Reebok Teal and Purple Aerobic Step System up from the basement.
I shit you not.
I'm thinking it's 14 years old this Christmas. Sears... $79 back then. "Just the one step?" as he put it.
It was 10ish and I was only at 8790. So I old school stepped to THE most played ipod playlist ever. Belle, Love Child and Suite Judy Blue Eyes. At least a hundred high knees, a few hamstrings and a couple of kicks. My husband ate sunchips and cruised CNN online. He flinched a few times. As if I was going to kick him. HONESTLY.
I'm going to log about 35 more steps right now getting my eggroll out of the microwave.

Only one person looks really unhappy being in this shot. What's up with that?!

i find that children often pick up on the true emotion of the group. they just don't get the point of hiding behind smiles for photo ops.

we should all take a cue, our family pics would be much more hilarious.
laughing outloud like a cack'lin hen.

how can you walk off holiday meals, if you didn't eat any holiday meals?
can you walk off my holiday meal?
seriously, it's day two of leftovers and i'm about to 'splode.
(and there is still half of a banana cream pie, half of a pumpkin cheesecake, and half of an apple pie in our fridge, for the love of god)

Deb, they still use those same steps at the gym! I love them!! I can't believe you actually have one. I want it.
