Oh HAI!
Where have YOU been?
Here?
Oh.
Yeah, we haven’t.

For once there is a reason to be happy that I’m “middle-aged.” Brenda Davy, Ph.D, R.D., associate professor, department of human nutrition, foods and exercise, at Virginia Tech and her pals conducted a study examining the effect of drinking two cups of water prior to each meal. The old diet myth is proved true; drinking water before [...] Dear Diary, today I lost three pounds, and punted a gnome. Happy! Day 1: Today weighed self. Ouch! Worse than I thought. This is the day I begin. I deserve to be healthy. Day 2: Walked two miles and lifted one set. Go me! Still fat, though. Day 10: Doing great, no weight gone yet, lifting two [...] I just realized that it’s my day to post and I have not, because I am stuck in a morass of back-to-school and climbing toddlerhood and Max, my middlest boy, turns twelve today. I am sorry to fail you like this, so I will leave you with a parting word of advice on how to maintain a [...] I love old books so very much. They smell like secrets. And Other Summer Business Joshilyn’s book tour visit to the Bay Area and my house is over, and I am MISSING HER madly. We had super-fun, she worked like a dog, a very pretty and brave dog, and there might have been a bit [...] Hello! We here at Five Full Plates are not dead, we are just terribly busy. Doing… things.

Joshilyn is busy on book tour; Lydia is busy getting ready for France; Gray is busy getting better, stronger, and faster than before; Kira is busy chasing feral children out [...] My comfort zone is IN THAT PLANE… So. We are done, thank God, with the organizational challenge. And I think we all learned exactly how far I will go to avoid tidying the Pit of Sauron (conveniently located for orcs everywhere just inside my garage). If you even TRY to make me organize my [...]
This isn’t me. Imagine about 300% more bedhead, and 500% more whininess. “I have nothing to write about this week!” I whined to my husband. “I’ve been sick the whole damn week!” “Write about that,” he said, ever helpful. Well, fine. I will. Hello! I am no longer sick, but I really was sick as a dog [...] OR, Some True Things, Some Gross Things, and the Heartbreak of Psoriasis. Not a photo of psoriasis. That would be vulgar. This post isn’t about diet. It’s only tangentially about exercise, but it IS about health! And a terrible secret. Five years ago, spots, each the size of a pea, appeared at the center of the [...]
These would absolutely work if you used them. You won’t, though. I have a fever, my eyes are made out of hot grits, and my joints feel like they have recently been melted and been rendered unbendable inside their sockets by a thousand bite-mooded fire ants wielding acetylene torches. My head is a giant pocket [...] |
