This post is for the ladies…

It’s that time again…a time when I decide that I should probably pay more attention to what I am eating, and attempt to do something more active than updating my Facebook status on a daily basis.

But I need encouragement.

Given my lack of quality local girl friends with whom I am happy to commiserate over my ever expanding posterior…or more accurately “midsterior” (?) I would like to recruit you to get fit with me.

Be the Gayle to my Oprah. The…hmmmph…there seems to be a lack of famous girl pairings. Probably because they all move to L.A., lose weight and become mean. Probably the hunger that does it to ‘em.

To that end, we will lose only enough weight that we don’t start hating each other. Or eating our own hair. ‘Cause that would be bad.

Details on how this will work to come. But in the meantime, who’s with me?

I’ve lately been getting in touch with the geek within.

Being a mom, I’ve put a lot of interests and activities on hold. Having a youngster under the age of 2 is pretty consuming in itself, so hobbies and games tend to take a backseat.

Given the recent loss of my laptop, I had an opportunity to express my geekness in new hardware, so I jumped at the chance.

Behold. Quad core processor with liquid cooling system, 1 TB drive, and all sorts of goodness. Isn’t he pretty?

While he currently is mostly in use for posting photos and video of the little man, there is the promise of game time and other geek worthy pursuits.
