How do you get tricked into running?

First, they say come with us. Starbucks, right? So I get my purse. No, you won't need that. We're walking. Walking where? Walking. Okay. And so you're walking for five minutes. Now let's run for one minute. Why? And then we'll walk for two minutes. That sounds good.

But then you're already doing the running thing, and then you're so far away from where you started, and it's all very cruel and confusing.

That kind of trickery is just wrong. I'm taking a stand here.

Thank you. I feel a little abused.

Diane Farr baby bump update: My word, they're certainly having her carry everything on the show--folders, sheaves of paper, random paper bags...all clutched close to her swelling abdomen. Even so, you still get a clear shot of her pregnancy every now and again.

Wow, you really were tricked!

Don't think of it as a dresser, think of it as a breakfront, or a sideboard, aor one of those other pieces of furniture that i'm not sure what they are.

The one in the living room, I mean. The new one can stay a dresser.

That's very tricky. and it might even work on me, except I only run for busses, or after dogs that have gotten loose.

A breakfront! That's genius.

I don't have a super-clear idea of what a breakfront is, but I bet people who come to my house won't either!

And I got a beautiful scarf for Christmas that will be great on top, but not in my bedroom. It's a plan!

Maybe for later.

Wow, you really were tricked!

Oh, I'd have been bitter, bitter, bitter. And collapsed in a heap of dead from out of shape, but that's more or less beside the point.

I had to buy a bigger medicine dispenser today. Really, it's because I take three calcium supplement pills and three multi-oil caplets a day now in addition to some prescription stuff and a multivitamin, and the supplements are inconveniently large. Still, I feel enoldened by the need for a bigger medicine dispenser.

Funny note: I actually got a vitamin dispenser, because it was cheaper and conveniently had seven compartments. The packaging had an example of how one might use the dispenser, you know, put your Vit C here, then your calcium, yadda, yadda. The "vitamin" pictured in the first compartment? Advil. Vitamin Advil. Been there, man. So sad.

I carry this pill container (large). It's tricky, but I could just about hold a week's worth in there. But now that one of my meds has bumped up, I may have to lose the Aleve.

Liese, I'm sorry if we sucked you in!

No, no, it's too late for regrets now. I've got all this folding and drying and putting away to do.

However, I am making up for it by using our very expensive gift certificate to the local (absolutely excellent) Japanese restaurant. Yay, sushi!
