Halfway there post
NaBloPoMo is kicking my posterior. (More on my posterior later)
You all HAVE to be a little tired of all this posting about Swee’Pea and TheMonk. I can tell because my comments have plummeted over the past week. I’m a little tired too.
But gosh darn it, I’m not a quitter. I may think about it from time to time, but I’m not a quitter!
So today’s post is about two completely separate things that have nothing to do with twins. Brace yourself.
The first thing I wanna talk about is Fred. Fred is a blob. He has no redeeming qualities and unfortunately he has moved into my midsection, set up shop, and has declared martial law over my formerly athletic body. Once upon a time I wore size 32 pants and weighed 155 pounds of pure muscle and bone. I had 5% body fat and I looked damn good. You could bounce a quarter off my posterior.
Now? Well, Fred has taken over my midsection and added 2 inches to my waist size. My posterior no longer propels coins and I weigh 25 pounds more than I did “back in the day.”
Why am I telling you this? Because I’m going to do something about this and I’m not going to stop until Fred is Dead. I resolve to exercise a minimum of 3 days a week and I will post periodically how I’m doing. You, dear Internet, will provide accountability. I’m putting this out there and you will keep me on my quest to make Fred Dead. My goal is get to 165 pounds. Not necessarily Greek God status but I’ll settle for Greek Demi-God status.
The second thing? Well, a while back, while visiting my cousin Maggie, she casually asked if I was familiar with Twitter. I wasn’t. But, after having poked around their website, I realize that it’s mini-blogging on the go. Which is perfect for me because I tend to think in little sound bites. If you are so inclined, you can go to Twitter, set up an account and then get my random thoughts sent as text message to your phone.
Or you can see the little widget on the right that has my last few Twitter thoughts.
Okay, I’m done here. We will return to our regularly scheduled blogging tomorrow.

Hmmm, I was married to a Fred for a while…and if no one else will comment, I will. Afterall, I never get tired of hearing about TheMonk and Swee’Pea and I’m your mother so it is my duty to leave you a comment.

I am absolutely NOT tired of hearing about the twins. I am lurking.

It’s not that people aren’t interested in hearing about the kiddos it’s that we’re all freaking out about NaBloPoMo ourselves so we’re getting behind in our reading and commenting. We are reading, though, not to worry!

No twins? I find them much more interesting than how quarters used to bounce off your butt! That give me a creepy visual I don’t care to have of my nephew!

My husband hasn’t named his yet, but has also been noting the disappearance of his once very athletic body. He’s also looking to kill his Fred.
Good luck!

Good luck with NaBloPoMo and Fred. I need to work on my Fred. It’d be a lot easier if I had a gym at work.

We’re still reading, I swear. NaBloPoMo is kicking my behind, too.
P.S. Where do you get the nifty NaBloPoMo icon to put on your site? I can’t seem to find it…

Well, good luck with Fred. As a man, likely all you’ll have to do is stop having a Coke a day or something easy like that. It’s not fair. About Twitter, I’ve seen them around and I’m liking the consolidated feel of it. It’s cool!
