Spring has finally arrived in Chicago. It's regularly in 60s now and we don't drop below freezing when a cold front comes through. I'll be glad when "cooler by the lake" doesn't mean we're in the 50s. But it's warmer and sunnier, and I am getting out of my hermitage and actually going outside on a regular basis (this means more than once a week to get groceries).
It's true: marriage makes you fatter. I went to the doctor's today for the annual womenly bits check up, and of course they have to weigh me. (The only time I get on a scale is at the doctor's office.) I am 142 lbs. I have gained close to 20 lbs in the last 3 years. The Hubby has also gained weight. Even The Cat is fatter. So it's true: marriage does fatten you up. As I'm only 5' 3", I'm going to have get a lot more serious about maintaining my yoga and walking. Actually it's amazing I don't look chuckier than I do.
I'm sure you noticed that my participation in National Poetry Writing Month did not last long. The last part of Lent and Holy Week knocked me out. It was just busy. Good but busy. One of my Lenten disciplines was to blog every day at
Life in the City, Life in the Spirit. I didn't quite make it, but I did blog 4-5 days a week, which was a considerable improvement, that I need to get back to. So the poetry fell off pretty quick, but I did write two poems that otherwise would not have been written.
Right now I'm watching Doing Da Vinci. It's such a great contest. But they are such drama queens. It ruins Leonardo's wonderful inventions they are making. Bleh.
Now as it has been a week since I last posted on the other blog, I really need to go get a post started. Good night all.
