I don't like to subscribe
to the belief that certain foods are so "bad" they should be
eliminated, but it's also true that I don't typically eat white
bread any more. It's not that I'm a low-carb devotee, exactly, but
as long as I'm watching what I eat I'd...

A few weeks ago I got all interested in the hundred pushups training program, and I actually followed along for a while (forcing my husband to join me, because 1) misery loves company, and 2) it was kind of fun to just do my... Read More »

As I type this we're staying at my husband's parents house on the Oregon coast. We'll be here for a few days, and spend a few more days an hour inland at their cabin on the Umpqua River before heading back to Seattle on the 5th. I guess I wouldn't exactly call it a vacation -- not... Read More »

With my second pregnancy my belly started pooching out right away, much earlier than the first time around.
