The Thanksgiving we decided to pass on..

Greetings.

At the current moment, we should be on I-5  to Olympia. But, at the current moment we are sitting on the couch. Everything I’m wearing is keeping me cozy.

This morning, there was fresh snow on the ground. Kevin called his mom and told her we might not make it. She said she understood. She later called to tell us it was warming up and we said we still weren’t coming. We have opted out of doing Thanksgiving this year. We have both had an extremely stressful week and we are both thankful for a day to do nothing. And, we both are working tomorrow.

I’m thankful for so many things… in no order…

Fuck you, weather.

Fuck you, Thanksgiving.

I hate holidays. Tomorrow, I get to spend my day off from this crazy ass week with 50 members of Kevin’s family.

Ugh.

Is this week over yet?

Bummer.

And now for some thing so completely different…

Holy Crap… !!!

I just registered to do a half marathon…OMG! OMG!

Rock ‘N’ Roll Marathon!

Seattle, June 25, 2011! I’ll be there!

I would like to be able run most of this, but I’m okay if I walk about half.I’m also going to be with my good friend, Eve.

I feel a bit crazy… but I get a fucking medal at the end of it! Yes, I’m stoked about a medal, get over it. Keep calm and carry on…

Have a super week!

Fat Doctors?

Oh hai! Long time no see…

So. I just spent a week with my family in Canada. Fun, relaxing, and lets me know how happy I am that I don’t spend ample time with the fam all at once. My brother has been dating a really nice and quite gal for a while and she came along as well. She’s going to med school…

So here’s my huge question…

Would you take medical advice from an obese doctor?

As some one who has lost a lot of weight and dealt with some medical issues that my doctors seemed unable to help me with, my answer would be a big NO.
