Happy birthday Allyson!!

Torchwood ghostie!

Awesome!

My officemates got KFC today and offered me some. Fried chicken is my total kryptonite! (If kryptonite was something that superman loved loved loved to eat!) My whole (tiny) office smells like fried chicken now. But I ate the pasta that I brought instead (whole wheat with swiss chard, onions, olives, golden raisins, toasted almonds, and some shredded parm...sounds weird but is delicous!).

It helps that boyfriend and I had really good fancy fried chicken before i left Chicago on Monday evening. Sadly what also helps is having been to the doctor this morning seeing what i currently weigh. bah!

Hmm. That Suzuki looks good except for the ride. Our roads are so bumpy that we need a smooth ride typical of a more expensive car. I'm crusing Jason's about.com site and there's some good stuff there.

But then I remembered there was some kind of car that, like, kicked down from 6 cylinders to 4 once you hit cruising speeds. Do you know what I'm talking about? 'Cause that would really work for us, I think.

I was at the doctor this morning, but did not get weighed. Huh.

Chrysler has (had?) some cars like that.

Fortunately, my doctor did not mention my weight at all...actually I haven't been to her in a couple of years so it may have been about the same as the last time I was in. But I'd lost 15 or so pounds in the interim that are now back. I'd like to blame my birth control but it's probably that plus too many beers and being pretty lazy in the last couple of months. While she didn't mention my weight, my doctor did point out that I'm no longer 20 years old and that may be part of the reason why my knee has been hurting me. Tacky! ha

It's funny, though, when I was 20 I was nowhere near as active as I am now. Not by a very long shot.

Maybe a used Honda CR-V or Toyota Rav4 would work. Not that I know much about the ride in either. I suspect the Rav4 has a pretty short wheelbase which wouldn't bode well.

lisah is me!

lisah is me!

We are very pretty!

I mean, if I told 20-year old me that I have traveled literally hundreds of miles in the past year using my own power (that is, running and riding my bike) I would tell 40-year old me that I'm NUTSO COOKOO!!!

Oh man, in sort of related but not really news, I had the best random old guy compliment the other day. He told me that I was "beautiful. You look like Miss America!" I laughed and laughed and told him that I was Miss America! I love old guy compliments!

We are very pretty!

Yeah!

Olivia had a random nosebleed in the car today. We were driving back from the gym and I glanced back to see her face and coat covered in blood. I nearly had a heart attack. Fortunately, we were close to home so I could get her inside and cleaned up fairly easily. I still don't know what caused it. I used to get really severe nosebleeds as a kid and I really hope she doesn't have the same problem.
