If you want a harder workout in the same vein as the Wii Fit, try the Wii Sport Active, the one that comes with the resistance bands and the leg holster. That’ll make you sweat and tone!

I always assumed that the worrying I did was a byproduct of a Catholic upbringing, but perhaps it is a female trait?

I always knew that we were the ones who kept the world running smoothly

I love Costco diapers. I have no idea what I’m going to do when we live in a place without Costco…

I worry about worrying too. I worry that I worry too much. I worry when there’s nothing to worry about, because surely that means something bad is around the corner!

muahaha! i’m going back to read the comments later, but i just returned my netflix of the shred after neither watching nor participating in it because my wii fit plus is possessed. except i’m not sure that i stuck it in the mail yesterday. maybe i should pluck it back from its neglected status and try it tonight. or i’m possibly insane because your ‘recommendation’ wasn’t exactly glowing. and now i’m talking to myself…
nevermind.

Jonna, I struggled with Nemirovsky’s portrayal of Jews as well. In Suite Francaise I think it is largely a product of self preservation in that moment in history. I’ve been reading some of her earlier works and any criticism there feels more like a critique by an insider.

Most of the characters in the first book are repugnant and it was difficult to feel for them, but the relationships in the second book are more complex and human somehow.

I finally had to explain to my husband that I do not think that 90% of the things I worry about will happen but I have to worry about them and talk through them anyway because then in the very unlikely event that I am faced with that exact situation I will have A PLAN.

I don’t worry so much about the not worrying though. I worry more that if I’m open about the things I worry about that I will make them happen…only worse. Because the whole universe revolves around my twisted psyche.

I don’t have kids yet but now I know: No no Pampers a-go-go.

I started to Shred again today after two months off – and decided Level 2 was a good idea. Am still wheezing an hour later. Tomorrow could be bad.

Just wanted to chime in on the Yay, Book Lushes love. It is a great place, and my To-Read list has grown several pages already.

Also, I started the Shred today, and I fear I may not be able to make it down the four stairs off my porch in the morning! The arms are fine-they’ve been carrying TWO babies around for nearly 10 months-but the legs are JELLO. I better lose at least 10 pounds this month!

Oh, raging against the pampers machine. THAT is a classic, my friend.

I just did the 30 day shred today for the first time and I think? I might hurt myself if I continue to do that workout. I feel like my heart can take it and my muscles can take it but my knees? They are like: EFF THIS SHEET, YO.

I don’t know.

GO BOOK LUSHES! (which I inexplicably types as ONE WORD all the time, wth?)

Delurking to say that I, too, am slogging through Suite Francaise. I’ve only read about 100 pages but I am so tempted to move onto something else. But for the sake of the author and the circumstances under which it was written, I feel like I owe it a chance!! Oh the guilt.
