I think I officially show pics of Waits to people more than most moms do of their own kids. He is friggin frackin adorable.
I’m so looking forward to your MOFO. I’m stoked to hear of your experiments. I totally get that people’s bodies are different and that what you’ll be posting is your own. HOWEVER it is not only information that you will no doubt share. It is the sharing of your experiences, your reactions and thoughts that are to be admired. No doubt lots of people will have had the same questions as you. And regardless if your answers will be right for them it will no doubt inspire others to seek their own answers. Thank you Sayward!
Love list:
*running my 7th 1/2 marathon today (I thought this was my 6th but I miscounted)… in the Okanagan none the less
*spending thanksgiving weekend with one of my best friends who lives an hour’s flight away
*having a friend who will ensure my thanksgiving dinner will be about abundance according to my values, even if they’re not hers
Much love, kris

Congrats on your first 1/2 and happy thanksgiving from a Calgary girl who also raced this weekend! You should be totally proud of your finish time and even more proud that you DID IT!
This was my 5th 1/2 this year but every run is awesome. So glad you signed up for your next! You should feel pretty dang amazing right about now! :)

So sad about your laptop… my macbook is showing it’s age too… no speakers and streaky screen and barely picks up a wifi signal. I think I may have to buy a new one but hoping it lasts until I graduate and get a real jobby job.

Happy things this week:

1. Getting a kick in the pants to work harder in the lab for the next few weeks to get some results before a big research review… and my impending dissertation. It’s been really productive though!

2. Coming home from lab to find my boyfriend in the kitchen baking cookies. The best!

3. My parents officially retiring last week and moving to southern Florida… and then me buying tickets to see them (and their heated pool) for Xmas.

Oh, it might not be much, and it is certainly a little late, but…

I just ran another 10k and managed to beat my prev personal record by 3 minutes! (I’m still slow as hell tough… 1 hour 8 mins)

Also, fear not! I will of course turn my crappy holey old tall socks into arm warmers. :-)

Re: Protests
I’m not a particularly activisty person (and my values, aside from things like veganism and gay rights tend more towards the conservative side of things… and conservatives that get around to protesting tend to be TOO conservative!) I was a part of the protest at Wells College when the Board of Trustees announced that the school would begin admitting men the following year. We occupied the main academic building for several days.

Herbivore should be at Wordstock with you and your new book, humph!

Love list:

1. SOCK DREAMS. I think that you probably inadvertently drummed up a lot of business for them with your last WIW post. :-) I love love love long socks, but I got a bunch last fall/winter that are SUPER CRAPPY and had holes in them within a few weeks. I got a pair of thigh highs (ordered Thursday, got ‘em Saturday, all the way across the country with free shipping!!!) and they seem very sturdy. Plus, $10 is a good price for good socks that are made in the US! I also got some Chevron sleeves. Sure, I could make my own out of an old sweater or something, but these were only $5, so why not?! Anyhow, I’m really excited, and Sock Dream socks are going to the top of my Christmas list. :-) And despite the morning chill, my legs and arms are toasty warm. Woooooo!!!!

2. Pumpkin muffins. Enough said.

3. THE WEATHER. OMG. This weekend has been/is absolutely amazing. Yesterday was sunny, highs in the low-mid 70s. Today’ll probably make upper 70s, which for October is a little warm for my tastes, but after non-stop rain in September this is super awesome.

4. School! My presentation this week was “a model of clarity and good preparation.” :-)

WOW. Little Waits isn’t so little anymore! And he is looking more and more like you everyday – which is awesome.

1. DE-FLEAING OUR HOME. Ugh. I could not be unhappier about this unpleasant surprise but at least we are getting things under control and once this weekend of cleaning, vacuuming and washing all of our clothes is over, I will feel like a million dollars.

2. My first butternut squash purchase from the farmer’s market! YUM.

3. Upping the green juice when times get tough. I usually overeat when I am stressed, but this time I am taking care of myself in the most healthy way!

Followed the link, clicked on the first video and it was AMAZING… looks like the event is a ball.

AirSex… who knew it existed? I’ve learned something new, and I thank thee.
