mesh

well... i've just made the decision to try kale during the month of january. it's kind of out of season, but i'm sure i can get it at the grocery store. i've heard kale chips are good and easy. and beckie just suggested kale in a quiche. sounds yummy.

i've been reading the 'how to be a woman' book. my current chapter is about 'fat'. she makes a very interesting observation about societies intolerance of fat vs societies tolerance of drug use by celebrities. she asks how keith richards would be seen had he been addicted to food instead of heroin. very very intriguing.

last night i was ridiculously productive around the house. in addition to doing dishes, i did the laundry, put summer clothes downstairs/brought winter clothes upstairs, and scooped the litter box. hm, now that i see that in writing it seems more like just regular household activities rather than a huge accomplishment. but believe me, as someone who doesn't tend to use her free time voluntarily cleaning her own home, this was a big step forward. i really want to develop some good household habits before july. to do this, i'm trying to adapt the 30 day cleaning schedule into something that works for me. or rather, i'm trying to adopt the principle of a little bit per day. and when i find myself waiting for supper and am already caught up with everything on facebook, i might as well do something i'll be glad i did later instead of wasting a half-hour playing solitaire on my ipod. right? of course right.

when should one start prenatal yoga classes?

i'm going to go eat a grapefruit now.

take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship.

I love eating kale with chorizo - the smoky spicy sausage plays well with the bitter greens. Here's a staple around my house:
