Speechless

I have an very overweight co-worker. She told me this week how disappointed she is with her "diet". It turns out she's been "modeling" her eating habits after what she thought were mine.

?

She is perplexed as to why she has not shed ONE SINGLE POUND! We do everything the SAME! I drink coffee in the morning and so does she




Although I don't have much of an appetite in the early morning I do make myself eat cereal for breakfast and so does she

I do think fruits and vegetables are an important part of a good diet and so does she

I think consumption of whole grains is important and so does she


I think a mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack is often a good idea

and to keep hydrated throughout the day.


On and on it goes. I am at a loss as to what to say to this individual. So dear readers, any thoughts?

Overheard

Last Saturday Evening

Saint: "We need to go right now or we'll lose our reservation."

Me: comfy on the couch, using his laptop "Hang on, I'll be right there."

Saint: "Seriously, what are you doing that's so important?"

Me: "I'm checking in with the Internets, just one more minute."

Saint: "What Internets?"

Me: "You know, my bloggy friends. For pete's sake, hold on a second!"

Saint: "Well, I'm going to wait in the car. And from now on I'm calling them your bleeps."

Last Night At Dinner

prompted by this post I'd read earlier in the day

Me: "So, in the movie Juno, did you think the step-mother should have offered to raise Juno's baby?"

Precious Youngest: puzzled "No, why?"

Me: "Oh, I've just heard a few discussions where some teen aged girls thought the step-mother raising the baby along side Liberty Belle could have been a solution."

Precious Youngest: dumbfounded and momentarily speechless.... "I thought getting pregnant before I got married was NOT an option?"

This Morning

I'm in the shower having already braved sub-zero temperatures to go to the gym. The Saint comes into the bathroom and leaves door WIDE OPEN.

Me: shrieking "Close the damn door, you're letting all the cold air in!"

Saint: "Sometimes I do things just so you'll have to talk to me before 8 AM."
