I really consider this blog and Paul’s blog very low priority. They are our scrapbooks, and you know how scrapbooks get pushed down to last place.
Paul hasn’t been napping as regularly lately, and when I put him in bed at night, I seriously don’t feel like sorting through two months of old pictures, trying to find something that I can reformat for the web. I find my daily life rather boring, so I’d rather not write up how boring it is for the web.
Once night is here, I’d rather read a book or blog about the books I’ve read.
The more I think about how many pictures I “need” to post on here, the less likely I’m going to do it. So I’m just stepping back, and when I feel like it, I’ll get to it. I do want the pictures up here for future reference!
Something to Ponder
Today I was standing in line at the supermarket when a magazine cover caught me eye. The main headline said
WALK IT OFF! Lose 2 lbs this month
Underneath that was a picture of a large cake covered with M&Ms with the sub-headline that said
Make an M&M Pumpkin Cake! Details page ___!
Now, I’ve never been on a diet and I’m also not much of a fan of candy anyway so maybe it’s just easy for me to say, but seriously: you have to agree there is something wrong with our priorities, when those are the two headlines on a woman’s family magazine. I suspect not eating an M&M pumpkin cake is probably the best thing you can do for your health this month, no matter how much you go walking!
Just a thought.
Now you know the formula. Women’s magazines always have an article about how to lose weight, accompanied by a picture of a delicious dessert. So now we know what sells magazines, and apparently what a lot of women want. If we could eat sweets while walking, perhaps it would work?
I’ve mentioned this diparity to the girls at work. It always makes be laugh. It is the difference in what we say we want and what we’re willing to do. And by the way, why does fat taste so good? There oughta be a law!
